Invaluable

Attempted to bid on an item on their site for the first time. Never had any interaction with the site before. For some reason, I could not submit my bid. At first, Invaluable told me that the auction house (not Invaluable) had blocked me, but the auction house informed me that in-fact it was Invaluable, which has put me on their universal block list, which means I cannot submit bids on any auction on their site. My credit is perfect. As I said, I have never even been on their site before, but, nevertheless they have banned me. To make matters worse, they claim the decision was a "collective" decision and, therefore, they cannot provide me with any reason for the ban, and there is no one who can tell me anything. Quite ridiculous.

Invaluable is just another 'eBay', but for fancier more expensive things!
They are not held responsible for the Auction Houses that use them and so expect bad customer service, delays in delivery and items not as described

I felt compelled to write this review after reading so many negative reviews.
Invaluable auctions is similar to Liveauctioneers. They are simply a platform for user's to view auctions worldwide.
Most Auction houses sell fakes to the highest bidder. They offer no guarantee etc. With The exception of high-end auctions like Sotheby's and Christie's.
I have purchased 100's of items. 99% were bargains. A few items were fake.
Reader's and buyer's need to do their own research in both the auction house And the items before bidding...Ask questions!

I have tried for an hour to bid.Despite doing the "registration" 6 times and being approved, I'm not permitted to bid. All I get is "pending" What the hell are you doing to preclude me from bidding in your auction? You're not the only game in town.I doubt that you'll respond, but I challenge to do so...

Absolutely no help. Really disappointing. Never answered my questions and appeared to accidentally hang up on me as there was some sort of distraction in their house. I've bought many auction items but I've never had to contact Invaluable before. I'll look for another platform. Terrible customer service.

I participated in a online bid for some items on this site. After successfully bidding and winning on four items, one of the four items was not awarded to me even though I was given an confirmation email showing I won. I believe it was due to the item selling for less than other sites sell it for. The seller gave no information other than saying it was "a clerk error". I feel like they are able to pick and choose what you bid and buy based on if they like the price.

Three times, over two different auctions, we have bid on-line, watched the bidding close for those three items, had the high bid (with an even higher max bid) and within 30 seconds after it closed, were told that we had lost the bid. There was no extension of time. There was no notice that there was a higher bid. This is incredibly frustrating and feels incredibly crooked. We will no longer be bidding through their service and would recommend the same for everyone else.

I won't purchase from Invaluable again. First, the live auction was not possible to follow. Second, the hidden auction fees. Then a shipping delay of over two weeks, followed by a ridiculous shipping charge to get it to me as fast as possible. I actually got an email admonishing me that 'we cannot hold your item indefinitely'. Not a good platform, hidden auction fees, delayed shipping - stick with ebay

Blatantly allow mispresented auction houses for permitting reviews and do not even know or can communicate their policies how review process works. Do not waste your energy if you have questions, their customer support team is beyond unhelpful and cannot comprehend simple questions as it relates to their own policies. David needs a whole new team

This site continues to advertise and take a % of earnings from counterfeit art even after notified and offered official proof the art is fake (Many times accompanied by a fake COA) Be careful. I suggest you never buy anything in a frame because this is where most fakes either in stellar or poor condition are hidden. Aside from that, unless you see a Certificate of Authenticity from a noted expert you take an enormous risk here.
Federal Authorities have listed art Fraud as third in corruption to Drugs and Human Trafficking. You will see this played out on Invaluable and there is a no return policy on Auctions. Counterfeiters have hundreds of tricks they play to sell their garbage on this site and Invaluable turns a blind eye. In my opinion this site is worth the time of the FBI and or the U.S attorney for a full investigation. I'd love to provide testimony. As for the consumer, take your business to only the most reputable of Art dealers. Be safe.

Sellers on their platform are selling fakes and even if you can provide evidence the platform will do absolutely nothing to help you. The platform is entirely 100% on the side of the sellers in every single instance. There are tons of better Auction platforms out there who properly vet their sellers.

I have purchased several coins through them and only 2 so far have been correct the others have been advertised falsely advertised. I have paid for stuff over a month ago and haven't recieved. I'm not bidding on their site anymore

I bid in an Old Barn Auction and bid through Invaluable. Although I was the highest bidder, my bid was not sent to Old Barn and I did not win the lot. I do not trust the service Invaluable provides and rate their credibility as zero. Bidder beware as your bids through Invaluable may be high, and you will be identified as winning the lot, it may not recorded and you will not win the lot. Extremely disappointing! Old Barn Auction did not rectify the situation so I an disappointed with them as well

I've used the site many times in the past but it's getting increasingly bad- clearly they changed the algorithm for searches and now it's nearly worthless. I use it to look for rare books, but never bid using the site- better to go directly to the auction house if you can. I imagine it will only get worse as they try to make more and more profits. I was recently granted some kind of elite status that allows you to search for auction results- a total joke.

Please someone correct the spelling for Invaluable. It is not Invalubale! Customers are leaving it here and it looks ridiculous! Why is this left on the internet and picked up by Google? There is no company called INVALUBALE! Geez!

Stay away from this site, it traffics with "auction houses" that sell counterfeit products- purchased (January 13,2019) at watch offered as an authentic rolex and it was a fake.

After receiving the item, I was able to confirm it is a fake, i. E. Submariner code is *******, the item they sent me had a code ******* which corresponds to a GMT Master II model.

I have tried to ask them to take the item back bit as you can imagine they have not answered any of my attempts to contact them

I've participated in 3 auctions, unfortunately. In all three, I was extremely disappointed in what I received. The auctions took place over a 3-day period, so by the time I realized that I had been ripped off, it was too late. I bought autographed sports memorabilia - all of which didn't pass professional authentication. Not even close. "Laughably fake," in their words. I received sports cards in poor condition. But poor condition is better than completely, photo-copied, fake reprints of original, valuable cards. What a total scam! And the shipping charges are ridiculous. I've tried to reach the auction houses that ripped me off, and of course they never answer, return calls, or emails. These were Randy's Cabin Auction, and South Florida Estate Sales and Auctions. Please please please avoid this garbage. I can't believe it's even legal... shameful.

Invaluable provides a path for scam artists to sell their wares and when confronted is completely uncooperative. This has gone on for too long now with absolutely no repercussions and or Government intervention. One would think the FTC would park themselves outside of there business and have a field day prosecuting and fining all the thieves. Hopefully some shyster law firm will come along and class action themselves into a Huge Payday as. This company has left itself wide open for litigation. Tell any lawyer you know about it, it will never get to court as there would be a witness list in the thousands. Shut these crooks down once and for all.
