This is a stellar operation to work with
I’ve got a lot of experience at participating in auctions and have dealt with over 15 houses in the past decade and Lot 14 stands out as one of my three favorites. I found them to be supremely honest, transparent, helpful and fun. It’s literally been a joy to bid with this house and their staff. Again, after dealing with about 15 places Lot 14 is solidly in my top three houses that I love. Their shipping is extraordinary and their customer service is the best. Many of the auction houses that I bid with once or twice with and near again returned to likely don’t know that to often they dropped the ball on really small things — the folks at Lot 14 seem to know instinctively how not to make those mistakes —-their attention to detail shows. Here’s the best recommendation I can give: I’LL BE FOLLOWING EVERY SINGLE AUCTION THEY POST

Distinctively amazing auctioneer
I dealt with many auctioneers on various platforms (LiveAuctioneers, Proxibid, AuctionZip, Invaluable, etc, etc): Lot 14 Auctions is easily in the top 3 auctioneers that sell online. Other auctioneers should buy items sold by Lot 14 at least for benchmarking purposes-the bar is set very high! My items (2 pcs expensive binoculars) were well described and accurate. Shipping was unbelievably fast: 4 days from auction end to items delivered!!! Packaging was perfect-smart, super secure and not overdone! Shipping charges were completely normal and fair (this is so rare with others). Communication was super fast, replies received within minutes. It's obvious that this auctioneer takes pride in their business! Thank you Lot 14 and Ian!

always very satified!
Shipping is not cheap. Labor and materials are also expensive. Ian uses very good quality materials and items are shipped very carefully and expertly. You cannot ask for better and the rates that he charges for shipping are very, very reasonable, especially when you consider how well items are packaged. The quality of the items that Lot 14 carries are also very, very good, and the condition is very accurate to the listing. I am always very pleased. I have bought from Lot 14 many times. Each time my purchases were very satisfactory, and were shipped as good as I could ever expect, at the fairest shipping price. Thank you Ian and the Lot 14 crew!

James, Thank you! We always try to balance the safety of your items in transit against the costs of the materials, but many of the items we are lucky enough to sell are unusual and hard to find, so we use a fair amount of foam, newsprint or bubble wrap, packing peanuts and filler paper and double-wall, heavy duty cartons in the hopes that you get what you want in good condition. We do not make shipping a profit center, but we are a small shop and pride ourselves on taking care of our buyers and sellers as well as possible.-Ian

Smooth Sailing with Lot 14 Auctions
This is a firm that really takes pride in their business. Accurate descriptions and very fair in-house shipping charges. Although not local, I feel like I am buying something at 'the local corner store' when I have purchased from Lot 14. They truly value their client relationships, both consignors and buyers. Also, their auctions appear to be all consigned items. There are some auction firms that buy items and put the items in auction with a minimum selling price which is what they want. Sometimes they get more if there are multiple bidders. Be an educated consumer!

Accurate-but expensive
The cost to find current issue bourbon is unbelievable, but every once in a while you gotta treat yourself. These folks do the best job of packing and safely shipping a bottle that I've ever seen. Be aware that you are going to get nickeled and dimed for it, but you also won't have to worry whether the bottle you just paid three-times retail for will make it safely. I'm not sure I'll spend that kind of money again soon, but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to spend it with Lot 14.

Hi Andy, Thanks. I am not sure how I could have earned that fifth star, but I hope you'll let me know. I pulled your invoice, and I charged you $9 for my cost of materials which included a large, double-wall outer box, packing peanuts, a purpose-built inner box, an inflatable sleeve, plastic wrap for that sleeve, parafilm around the bottle stopper and neck, bubble wrap to protect the horse and rider and sleeve and the necessary stickers. I did not charge you for the 25 minutes I took to carefully pack all of this. We charged you $18.83 for the UPS shipping, which included the shipping charges and the UPS pick up fee. Other than that, there is the hammer price for the bottle and the stated buyer's premium and credit card fee (always optional-we take checks and wire transfers). The credit card fee does not completely cover the credit card processing costs, but lets us split these fees with the buyer. I want to continue to earn your business, but I am the ONLY auction house I know of which does NOT force you to use a third party shipper or make shipping a profit center. If there is anything else I can do, please reach out to me 847-625-0555 or Ian@ Lot14. org. Thank you, Ian.
