Purchased '3' Items that I did receive - They may be worth discounted toilet paper...
Purchased a '4th' item before the other '3' - not only have I not received it - I can't get anyone on the phone on their end to help me with this situation...
Well, I guess it's my fault for not "checking things out" - No, it's what is wrong with our system - the internet - they let anyone on it to sell crap or to take our money for nothing in return...
LOOK OUT FOR ALL SCAM SIGHTS

It is a scam
July 1, 2013

It is a scam. The price they put is a joke. They use aucution to make you imposible to judge the quality. Mostl likely, you pay the item much higher than its value. Most likely, you will get a stuff much worse they you expected.

Don't buy it because it SEEMS cheap!

Horrible Site!
February 20, 2023

Bought & immediately paid for 20 items in 7 days. Now it's not allowing me to pay, plus my account is restricted because they're not allowing me to pay! What? Maybe I'm too good of a customer! ‍

Fake

After reading reviews, I will not purchase from this website. Contacting BBB for complaints. If this site is indeed a scam, it should be pulled of internet.

Don, t want to sound angry but it's my own stupidity that got me into this mess. I, m 1 of the lucky ones and I got refunded within 6 days from PayPal. Non existent proper tracking numbers or No proper people to contact through phones or any other way bar the imaginary site. I was standing next to a mate n we were bidding against each other so u can see on each others phones what's happening. Looks so real as well. Fake ******* odd comments is just laughable. I live in UK n I got mine cancelled in transit. Looked genuine but if something seems too good to be true it normally is. Left a comment on Facebook, I now can't comment any more, wonder y that is? Do not buy anything from this company jewellery wise or may b other stuff as well U will end up with cheap cheap goods.And I haven, t even got mine. I know I was duped, but I saw in time n realised I, d been a mug.And so will anyone else who buys owt. Laughing now, but to some poor souls who obviously r buying items intending to move them on, I, m sorry u will have a lot of agro trying to get money back n a a lot of short term anxiety n stress. This has been a learning curve 4 me, never again like this. Take Care folks, Stay Safe.An update on my items a week or so after the review was written. These items came through royal mail and were no signature, left on my doorstep.no paperwork with them, no receipt for goods, nothing. Shows they r worthless. I have had a look at items, gonna have a laugh next week and get them valued.

From the photos in the auctions, you think you are getting legitimate gemstones and precious metals. From the moment I opened the shipping container, I knew I had been taken. What a bunch of crap. From the gemstone necklace with "diamonds" which you would need a microscope to see, to the rings, and the bracelets... All total crap. What a rip off. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE!

Not what it seems
January 14, 2023

So after buying 6 items I can tell you my experience. Firstly the red figure crossed out is only too miss lead you, although there is a disclaimer saying not to rely on it as it is computer generated, it serves no other purpose to make you think you are getting a higher priced item. I had one ring that I had valved and it was 0.30 cents.

The photography is fantastic, makes the gem sparkle. They don't look like that when they arrive. All the diamonds that I've seen are listed near perfect I, that is 2nd to lowest quality.

All of the rings that I've brought and searched for are size 7 for ladies so if you have massive fingers then its all good if not Im sure it will look good on your thumb lol

Look at all the reviews on the site, every single one of them is positive, some by the same person 10 times within the same minute so they are not all real and not one bad one? Come on please, at least keep it real

These are not police items that are sold, more end of line, bulk lots etc which is not what police auctions are. This is just a online business using a trusted name. There appears to be some lovely stuff on here but it may not be worth what you pay for it.

Omg!
April 26, 2013

Omg! I wish I could have read these reviews before buying two items from them. Today i received a bracelet, that it's supposed to be gold and a ring, that it's suposed to be white gold. I took them to 3 different jewerly stores and all of them told me that it wasn't gold. I went to a pawn shop and they didnt want to buy me the bracelet and they were giving me $4 for the ring! A ring that according to them is worth $4,500 and i won for $180, plus shipping. I am so pissed, i am going to open a dispute right now with my credit card. Stay away from this website, everything is so fake!

Fraud.
February 4, 2019

I know better. I know that I should read reviews before I become active on an auction (or any) web site. I let myself down this time, did not read reviews, and this site is a true scam. All I can say is, DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS SITE! I agree with everything negative said in these other reviews. I indicated one star on the overall rating only because there is nothing lower.

Date of experience: February 4, 2019

PoliceAuctions has a rating of 1.7 stars from 262 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with PoliceAuctions most frequently mention costume jewelry, credit card and white gold. PoliceAuctions ranks 175th among Auction sites.
