Fake and fraudulent
October 27, 2024

I bought a gold bracelet- is so thin it is finer than my cat's whisker. This was way overpriced and does not fit my wrist as ridiculously large- says on the packaging that it is a necklace- wouldn't even fit a baby if so.

Kind of a rip offl
September 16, 2024

Jewellery is much smaller than pictured. Also original values are wrong. Example: bid on 16" 10k solid gold (10k is not completely all gold it has a small amount of other elements in it) true gold starts at 14k gold. On the site it showed a value of $4000. Would you pay $4000 for a 16" 10k gold necklace? Very deceiving. You can bid on it and most time I see them sell for between 300-400 dollars, for which you can buy is a local jewellery store or online like Kijiji.

Real jewelry.
July 1, 2023

I have made about 12 purchases from policeauctions.com. The silver and gold is NON-MAGNETIC. Gemstones are not transparent, like GLASS. I used a coin magnifier. Items in person, look gorgeous. My opinion the jewelry is real.

Piece of Crap!
March 25, 2024

This site must be fake, the app is a scam, the ring that I bought is just a dress ring And not even sterling silver let alone white gold. I'm just glad I didn't waste too much money on it. Do not buy anything off this website the jewellery doesn't even have any hallmarks. SCAM!

ITEMS
October 5, 2023

Before anyone purchases from this website, should check and consider if it is a possible scam. The items you buy are real, however, the quality is questioned. You don't really find a real 14,18 k gold, etc. everything silver. Hmmm. Possibility these items a in-house productions and scam you out.

I won a watch. I was thinking this was from a real police auction. I was wrong. This watch came with buttons that didn't move because they were fake. The only one that did move feels very cheap and flimsy. I give this watch 3 months at best. Stay away

TOTAL SCAM!
August 8, 2023

I bought some raw gemstones from them that were supposed to be genuine. They turned out to be dyed quartz! When I confronted them about it, they doubled down and called me a liar! DO NOT buy anything from them!

My purchases of music memorabilia are all positive, however, I am beginning to wonder if these liens are what they say they are - limited editions. There seems to be many of the same items come up considering that there are only 500 of many of these items produced. Are these items mass produced in China and virtually worthless. I would like to know the truth.

Buyer beware, they are falsely advertising their jewelry as being real and it is all fake costume jewelry. I won several bids and they said it had to be paid right away. Unfortunately I got caught up in it. Right after I paid for this jewelry it was brought to my attention that it was a scam and a whole bunch of bad reviews and complaints. I immediately informed them I didn't want this jewelry and I wanted my payment reversed. This was within 15 minutes of me paying for it. You can't get hold of anyone on the phone. They messaged me saying they couldn't do that and I could return the items once I got them. Catch is after I submitted a return they informed me they will not refund me shipping fees. You loose out on the $14.95 shipping fees. And it didn't cost them $14.95 to ship these little boxes.

Police auction Sells goods and charges a ton of money for shipping.
Be careful of the fine print. I saw things that were just not professional and not right. I had for many years having police auction contracts or sheriff contracts or FBI Contracts, or GSA Goverment contracts and its not like this...

They canceled my account
September 17, 2023

I was betting on a silver dollar. My bid was at $41, max bid set at $50. Hours later I looked back and now my bid was at $211 and what scared me was my max bid now was at $1580. So I wrote support and told them something was wrong and explained. So they told me they adjusted my max bid to $211. I wrote them back and said even if I win it at $211, I was NOT paying for item because I did not bid that, but only bid $40. So because I said that, they were either forcing me to pay the $21 or cancel my account and they canceled my account. They are crooks, they knew something wrong happened on their end, and instead of addressing it, they rather cancel your account than admit the error was on their end. They are shady

Hello to all of you. There is nothing worse than people who think that can scam and mislead people and still get away with it. I won a bracelet in policeauctions.com that turned out to be fake so i did not proceed to buy it. But other people have already fallen for that and as I saw are still falling. I contacted them on both facebook and instagram and they blocked me pretty quickly. I am asking every single person who sees this to do something and stop them. Even the name is misleading and illegal. I just dont know wether to report them directly in the FBI web. Thank you and please give it some time

Don't Do it!
October 19, 2022

Of course, I realized right away that you are not going to get a thousand dollar plus piece of jewelry for 70$ but the two pieces I received are terrible! They May look okay under a microscope but hard to see with the naked eye! Pathetic. Never again!

The ring I purchased was supposed to weigh 4+ grams of solid sterling silver. It actually weighs 2.4 grams. This is a total scam. They make the money with high shipping fees of 14.99 that they DO NOT refund. To get your winning bid money back, you have to return first the item and pay for shipping again. At the end, its cheaper not to return, AND THEY KNOW IT!

Pure crap
March 24, 2017

As soon as I opened the package you could tell they were fake. Should be worth about 7 thousand total. Glad I have an FBI building a half mile from me because that's where I'm gonna go. Stay away from this site unless you want to get ripped off.

The stuff they sell is pure junk. Don't waste your money! Bought both a "ruby ring" and a loose stone. This site should be shut down for misrepresentation. I wish I could give them a more negative rating!

I "won the bids" on several bracelets and pendants from Police Auctions. I was shocked and disappointed when the items arrived. They all looked child size and cheaply made. The bracelets advertised as diamonds and gem stones were so tiny that the diamond fragments could not be seen without a magnifying glass and the gemstones were teeny tiny. Before you bid on any of this cheap jewelry, get out a ruler and actually measure what you are getting. These photos are blown up by about a thousand percent!
