Invaluable

So many auctions on their website selling fakes, google the address sometimes a condo will come up, If an auction house does not have a physical address for viewing, name of parties working there, history, provenance of items run away, and even then they fake a lot of this. A huge percent of items sold are fake and auction platforms make money off this, should be criminal, they need to vet the sellers, Invaluable will not correct this, Never deal with an auction that will only take cash, wire money, or debit, you will loose your money. Buy something if you like it but don't expect it to be authentic. They allow auction houses to resurface with new names multiple times selling same fakes and for this they get a percent of your purchase. Boycott this save your money!

Unreliable and poorly run website! This website is trying to compete with LiveAuctioneers but falls far short in comparison. Obviously, their designers are not as knowledgeable since the website is unreliable at the most crucial time. I was advised not to use them but I had to learn the hard way. Stay away!

Purchased a ring through invaluable (Rare Treasures) paid $750 for it never received the ring. Invaluable was completely useless in helping me get the merchant to send me the item or refund my money. They basically told me it wasn't their problem the ring that I purchased continues to be out there on the site months after I purchased it it is a total scam, When I asked them about ensuring that the merchants and items were actually authentic and available they said it's not their problem basically it's my problem she all but hung up on me. Be aware stay away!

I won a bid on August 18th, to this day I am still waiting for my item over 3 weeks later. I filed a complaint with invaluable and they told me they are just a website host and have nothing to do with Auction house directly. This is an awful response! They told me I have to dispute my charges and they allow another week to hear from the auction house. What kind of company lets just anyone use their website to sell! This whole situation is being handled very poorly! I will not big with them again.

* on the Gold Coast who have some connection to Invaluable are absolute con artists. They spot what they want themselves then pay next to nothing for it. They don't provide any sort of list for the product they load online then when the auction closes you have no idea what sold, whether the reserves were met or how many bids were on anything. People just turn up to pick up stock and there is nothing to show that the quantities being picked up are corrrect because they load things in multiples which only they know the exact number. They are not to be trusted, they totally manipulate the outcome of the auction to suit themselves and their friends.

By item count, most of the Jewelry is sold by scam "auction houses" that are illegitimate. I found 26,000 items listed, less than 1% were sold by reputable sellers. Having been involved with auctions for 40 years, I know which are bonafide and which aren't. I recommended Invaluable to a friend, and then later realized that most people, including my friend, would be taken in by a con artist seller. Which almost happened. I will never recommend Invaluable as a source of anything to anyone again. Check any reputed auction site for legitimacy before bidding!

DO NOT use Invaluable to bid. Last week I was approved to bid in a local auction and, using Invaluable, did just that. During yesterday's auction I bid on a great piece of art, but ended up losing because while Invaluable showed my bids, they weren't accepted. When I go to bid history, it just says "bid accepted, not submitted." Despite multiple attempts I have yet to receive any explanation from Invaluable support as to how or why this might be the case. So DON'T use Invaluable to bid on anything. You might be registered and approved for an auction, but Invaluable still won't accept your bid and, like me, you'll lose out on whatever it is you're bidding on.

Crazy... There are so many prints on here claiming to be or suggesting they are originals! The info on the pieces, use the same description over and over.

I've been bidding at various online auctions (Invaluable.com, Liveauctioneers.com) over the last year and now have proof that they are completely rigged. On three different occasions I've been the only bidder on a lot and have not won the item. Once, an auction house called antiquesyes.com, hosted by invaluable.com actually told me that the client would not honor the bids and refused to release the items. There is virtually no oversight of any kind for these auction houses, no best practices, nothing. They use shills to bid against online bidders and artificially raise prices. The whole thing is corrupt. The best thing is to buy at flea markets, estate sales, live auctions and garage sales. At least you know the price you're paying is the price you negotiate.
