Bidder Reviews for Auctions at Showplace (668)

Auctions at Showplace has been one of the best experience through Live Auctioneers. They provided timely communication throughout the process and were very helpful in recommending shippers. Extremely pleased with the shipper I selected, Manhattan Express. They handled everything from pickup to shipping with tracking at a very reasonable cost, no gouging. Was kept informed of the status throughout the delivery process. My glass paperweight arrived in perfect condition. Would not hesitate to bid at this auction house.

As I stated the item was quality, however, I was in a hurry, and let the auction house ship the item for me. It cost more than the item-totally ridiculous for a nonbreakable item (small handbag). It was wrapped in plastic and sent via Fed-Ex. I received after a month, given no heads up as to arrival until I asked. Do yourself a favor and do your own shipping, believe me I could have saved $250. I used to do shipping for a major women's store and this was galling.

I DID NOT LIKE IT: . Bad description. Pink pearls, size smaller than indicated. Pendant with obvious wear, the shine on the coral has disappeared. The photo shows red coral. In fact, it is dirty (worn out) coral.

The term was as described, and the seller was responsive and flexible about arranging a pick-up time and giving directions.

Honest, accurate, professional,

Although the auction house doesn't provide in house shipping they were very helpful and after providing them with a label they packed and shipped my item and saved me money. I would definitely purchase again.

Great seller, will buy again. Thank you

Great customer service! Love my items!

No knock on auction house.... my fault for not asking for a condition statement. It was laziness on my part..... the item wasn't that expensive and I depended on the photos. The photos were good enough to show some drip residue on the painting, but when I received the painting, it was obvious that it had been in a smoker's home. The whites are very dark and discolored which wasn't so noticeable on the auction photos. My bad. So let my experience reinforce the sage advice to ask questions before you buy! I was very happy with "The Packengers" who picked up and shipped the painting. For this good size painting, it cost $125 to ship from NY to CA. It arrived safely.

This was a very nice experience. The folks were especially helpful with the shipping process. They recommended shippers and the one I chose did a fantastic job with packaging and delivery. You won’t be disappointed!

A very smooth experience from bidding to receiving my item.

Thanks for all the assistance. They were a joy to work with.

Sometimes auction houses make it feel like you’ve caught the “hot potato” after you buy something from them — they are not helpful (sometimes aggressively unhelpful) in facilitating your receipt of the item. Not so at Showplace — we bought a big painting, and they couldn’t have been more helpful in getting it ready for pickup and delivering it safely right to our waiting car outside — whole transaction took no more than 3 minutes. Thanks to John!

I purchased a Tiffany Studios vase from this company. Asked them to put a light inside to check for cracks. They told me they did. They lied to me when I received it and put a light inside it was badly cracked and refused to do anything anything about it. do not do business with these people they’re lying dishonest people.

Very pleased all around.

Excellent auction house to buy/sell collectibles

They even loaded my truck at pickup

Thank you.
