Bidder Reviews for Art Antique Auction Gallery (213)

With all due respect we would like to mention that you are leaving this review based in your opinion and in a bad review that you read? Ignoring the good ones? and without having the piece examined by an expert? You don’t have the proper equipments like digital microscopic, specialized magnifying glasses just to mention a few, and the knowledge to issue an opinion like this. You are also ignoring the opinion of the expert who issued the certificate? You are a local bidder that even had the possibility to come and inspect the painting yourself or had someone else inspect the painting in order to have a second opinion, since you are only 15 min away from our office and you decide to participate without asking a single question, we never lied to you in any shape of form, in reference to your accusations about the the second bidder, would like to clarify that you could’ve have retracted from your bid the same way the other bidder did, but you didn’t, and that is very easy to prove it by checking the transcript of the auction, because everything is recorded, that was your choice not our fault, Liveauctioneer’s cannot be on your side because what you are saying are all false accusations and not facts.

We would like to start by mentioning that this is the first time we answer to a bidder’s review, because above of all we respect the bidder’s opinion, the reason we are replying to you is because you crossed the line lying and damaging our reputation with false accusations. First of all we never lied to you bought an Attributed painting as was described at the auction, in reference to your point about us delivering the piece to the shipping company automatically, the reason was because you are NOT a local bidder, you are a Texas’s resident and NEVER notified us that you were coming to pick up your piece in person, you showed up to our office unannounced, without an appointment, and with the current COVID-19 restrictions in place. In regards to the shipping quote which you claim to be “$1, 250” which is false because your actual total shipping quote was $221.11 including shipping, packaging, signature confirmation and insurance. Also the reason we asked for a written release was because the person that showed up to pick up the piece wasn’t you. As we stated in our terms and conditions we are not responsible for the shipping and bidders can use any company of their choice, you are the perfect example since you picked and shipped your lot with a different company. Another thing we would like to mention is that the disputes you are talking about didn’t came from us they are from other auction houses inside the Liveauctioneers platforms because you refused to pay, we never filled a dispute against you. Last but not least FYI you can only leave a review by purchasing and paying a lot and as you can see we have frequent Byers that are more than happy with their purchased and they have the rights to leave as many reviews as they please. For your own good we highly recommend you watch the accusations you spread because what you are doing is defamation which can be prosecuted by law.
