LiveAuctioneers

Do not buy from any of the auction houses on this site. You will pay double for any of these items. For example, a one ounce silver coin that retails on a precious metals exchange goes for 20.00 to 25.00 they charge almost double. This goes for all items. Especially BK Auctions, Pacific Global Auction, Mynt Auctions, Dennis Auctions, Richard L. Edwards Auctioneering will steal your money. Do your research before you buy anything from these people. This site should be regulated. Disgusting. I added a picture below. 58.00 dollars for a 1 ounce silver coin. ( I admit, I didn't know any better at the time. Disgusting.) This doesn't include the hammer price and the other fees.

A great disappointment to learn after signing up for online security service, it quickly showed that liveauctioneers.com allowed my personal information to be broadcast to the world This explains the 20 calls I get from India a day. I've had this phone number my entire life and this website made it worthless.

I have watched for weeks now auctions on this site of 1 oz gold bars and in every instance the "buyer" is paying more than the spot price for gold before they get the 20% buyer's premium and in some cases taxes. How is this possible? Are they stupid and don't realize they can buy gold bars at retail for less and gold bars of that size bear no federal taxes. Also, I've participated in auctions here where higher bids get withdrawn at the last moment. Sure feels like bid rigging.

Love this site! I've been using LiveAuctioneers site for several months and have found a number of good auction houses that do a great job... and a few auction houses that are rip offs. Do your research on the individual auction house first. LiveAuctioneers is an awesome website and app that lets you attend auctions online all around the world. Most of the negative ratings here are about problems the individual auction houses, not the website. Buyer beware!

I have dealt with many auction houses and can spot a bogus scam pretty quick. Does the same item appear over and over again and go for the same price auction after auction? Is the item really just product that didn't move in a store and this is a way to unload at inflated prices?
Are the estimates unreasonable. Most items can be searched on line Do your homework! Be very Leary of sending a money transfer. There is no recourse to recoup those funds! Don't expect live auctioneer to help you out, they are there only to manage the web sight and collect their fee. ONLY. Review the specific auction house reviews. I got burned by on that said the item was gold. It was only gold plate. The auction house replied that if it was gold they would say solid gold. Unethical, i would say. Buyer beware. If there is a question e-mail the auction house and get an e-mail response to back up your claim.

Can we be thankful for Live Auctioneers? Yes!
They are doing an impossible job. Some people have complained about unethical auction houses. Yes, they are out there... but Live Auctioneers is giving you a terrific shopping experience. If you complain... they will fix it OR take it off their website.
It's a good company.

DO NOT USE! He will rip you off to no end. I had an estate sale and he has about 10 people show up who are all his buddy's and he decides he is going to auction everything off and it all goes for about $5.00. He had two of his buddies show up who bought $2000 of furniture, tools, yard equipment, it was all worth at least $10,000 and they got it all for $2000. If you want to be ripped off use him. I would have rather given my stuff away than let them have it for almost nothing. He is one big thief. DO NOT USE HIM!

You can absentee bid, but Live Auctioneers won't send it in. I recently lost an item this past weekend. I saw where the item had sold for an amount lower than my absentee bid. I called the auction house and they never got my bid. So what's the point in using this company.

They do cover a lot of good secondary auction houses, but people need to be very very careful. There are many auction houses that do nothing but sell forgeries, and liveauctioneers does nothing to remove them or warn customers. Several people have posted lists of many of these fraudulent auction houses online. Users of this site, do you own very careful due diligence. Advise to liveauctioneers, clean up your site and get rid of these fraudulent companies. The are destroying your reputation. I now do 90% of my online bidding from a different site which provides some oversight of their auctions and reduces the risk of forgeries and frauds. You've lost most of my business.

I've been trying to win the item for about a month. The auction in question has an expiration, but is renewed each time. I contacted customer service who provided non-existent and totally useless assistance. They even stopped responding.

Totally unreliable site. Unverified stores that continue to do what they like. An auction site that is not an auction site.

Steals your money when vendors don't provide the goods! Purchased several items at several different auctions from the same auctioneer, and auctioneer "could not find" most of the items. Requested my money back from Liveauctioneers and they acknowledged my request but did not refund me. Continued to remind them they owed my money and they then just went to ignoring me. This was the Liveauctioneers customer service that did this. How blatant of a rip off is this! Do NOT trust them!

I've been in many live auctions on eBay, and the bidding activity on liveauctioneers.com looks so unnatural. It looks like sellers can generate artificial bids that magically reach a prespecified target price. The items don't actually sell, but then get re-listed again.

I never see reviews for these supposedly "sold" items. And the "final" prices are 5x higher than on eBay. Totally unrealistic.

This site is a total scam and they should be sued for price fixing.

LiveAuctioneers make it easy to find exactly what you're looking for by providing access to auctions across the US! Their website is so user friendly; I like receiving notification that an item I've bid on or favorited is coming up for auction. I've dealt with two auction houses since registering with LiveAuctioneers and the transactions have been smooth.
I would highly recommend this site/service.

I have been with Liveauctions for a few months now... its been mostly a pleasant experience... especially with Bk auctions, absolutely fabulous customer service and shipping times, I buy with four other auctions on this site and shipping time is very slow although I pay the invoice as soon as I receive it, not gonna down anyone or mention any names, you know who you are... thank you Bk auctions, excellent service so far... and to liveauctions in general, please safeguard our personal information as hackers are getting smarter as we speak...
Thank you
Best regards

I bid two items, a group Baccarat glasses and a group of plates. According to their suggestion, I bid with high maximum prices for each item to win.
However, i was notified by this Auction house that I lost both items at a lot lower prices despite the my maximum bidding price way exceeding the sold price!
When I wanted to contact them about this issue, their website is totally devoid of customer service email nor its phone number. I have suspicion that they presell or pre arrange hot items to just collect the viewers. Im glad this site to vent.
