LiveAuctioneers

Great! It was well organized to help the bidder no where the auction was what the next item was and gave appropriate amount of time to let people know when that item was going to be sold. Also, the auctioneer gave many warnings last call, etc. to let the bitters know they had the final chance if they wanted it to bed. It made it very easy for online bitters to participate in the auction. I look forward To finding items I am interested in purchasing in the future and have the confidence to know that I can bid with confidence.

On 5/25 I bid on a item.last call was presented and then it appeared on my
Screen that I had won the item,a display of fireworks appeared.
I watched as my credit limit was deducted for the item.
I thought I won the item,but nothing appeared on the won column. I
Did see that the item sold for more than my bid. I contacted liveauctioneers
The same day and recieved a generic email,saying they would contact me.
Wanna bet? I will never use them again and will contact all antique facebook
Groups dealing with antiques.

I bought a authenticated signed dennis rodman photo framed for 20 bucks quite a steal right well it all in the end to get it shipped from the us to canada costed 70 bucks in all i trust the website and if you have the shipping money go ahead and spend away.

The website had me bidding against myself so that I paid more than I had to for the items. It told me I was the only bidder, yet it kept raising the bid. When I emailed the auction house, they told me it was Live Auctioneers fault and that while they sympathized with my plight, they could not fix the problem. I than emailed LiveAuctioneers several times, explaining the problem, and I even answered a pro forma email that I received from them asking what I thought, and I again explained the problem to them. They never even gave me the courtesy of a reply. I had to pay the higher price to obtain the item.

This site is really interesting for the kind of things I like to buy but when you won something and the seller remove your bid for any reason, I think, you LiveAuctioneers, you can't let him to do that because that's not fair for someone like me ( the buyer) who spend time to bid and receive this behaviour from the seller. Not admissible, not at all! I got this bad experience on your site and you never fight and take the position to defending my (Rights). That's still in my mind about Black RiverAuctions for two aquarelles!

I see items that sell for 1500 dollars and they are listed again after the auction ends. That is extremely deceptive and I won't buy anything there for that reason. Also beware of fake designer items. Handbags ect. Some are real some aren't.

I am in the industry and use the site often. I have contacted LiveAuctioneers multiple times regarding the blatant selling of fake items and about "auctioneers" hosting auctions that aren't really legitimate. Some of these companies exclusively sell fakes or post egregiously high estimates and run up bidding phishing for a legitimate bid. LiveAuctioneers will politely respond but turn a blind eye. They are losing reputable companies and becoming dominated by fakers.

Like the old AT&T, live Auctioneers doesn't care because they don't have to. I found something I really wanted, bid way early, continually got notices that I was the highest bidder at Nadeau Auctions. As i watched my highest bid get placed, which I offered two weeks early, someone "on the floor" bid the SAME amount and for some reason (undeclared reserve?) they got the item, live bidding was shut down before I could offer more (which I would have, lots more). I did contact both live Auctioneers and Nadeau and their excuse was that it's up to the auctioneer to pick the bid. So their advice to bid early and high is meaningless and there is no action to be taken. I've contacted my States Attorney General's fraud department, we'll see how this plays out. My advice, bid directly with the auction house, don't use the live Auctioneer platform, they are just there to obey the auction house, not advocate for you

I tried to register for an auction, the pop up window did not allow me to fill in any information. I closed the window to try again and it said my registration was pending! I hadn't filled out my name or any credit information! The auction house couldn't help me, there are no good phone numbers to actually speak with any. They didn't return any calls and did not respond to my email inquiries with any help.

I had to use a different email to register so I could bid.

Horrible service!

Liveauctions can't be blamed 100%, but they can possibly do a better vetting process in the auctions houses listing on their site. Some auctions may be legit; however, unsure how an auction house would be able to auction off an item on the same day I purchased the exact SAME item from a reputable collectible online site. Do your research on the auction house. Buyer beware. Due your due diligence. Read the reviews. Research the auction house.
