Scammers!
September 6, 2019

I trusted this being it was a "police" auction... lol what a mistake! I bid on a bunch of rings... I thought omg one of a kind... I didn't pay yet cause I saw the same rings up for auction valued at a different amount. THIS IS A SH**TY TOPHATTER AUCTION SITE THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN BEING THEY ARE POSING AS A REAL POLICE AUCTION!

I was about to sell a pair of earrings and the gold alone was worth nearly 200.00. I don't understand why there are so many other negative reviews of any of the jewelry being fake.

FAKE -- all junk!
November 12, 2018

I purchased 7 seized bags of coins and precious metals -- WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP they were!
The bags were phony, and all the items were either low cost coin sets or costume jewelry. Took all the items to my local coin dealers -- and he gave me $77 dollars for everything -- explaining that everything I had were ALL the low cost proof and uncir. Sets of coins -- what a rip off! SAVE your money and spend it some-where else!

From what everyone is saying looks to be a scam! I thought so too. Just bought something but if it isn't what they say then I'll report it to my bank and get my money back! Which is what ALL OF YOU SHOULD DO! IT'S EASY. IF YOU WANT TO BURN THEM AND SHUT THEM DOWN JUST FILE A DISPUTE THROUGH YOUR BANK YOU'LL GET YOUR MONEY BACK GARUNTEED AND THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY THE BANK BACK! ON ANYTHING YOU BUY FROM EVERYWHERE, ESPECIALLY ANY CREDIT CARDS! FOR ANY REASON

The pieces are nice, some silver is real but the rest don't, bother they look perfect but wear them for two weeks and the gold, silver or rose gold disappears very sad because I love the cut!

This site is not items seized by police but a cheap trick to sell items that look expensive but cheap and of lower quality than they appear. A total scam!

I purchased a ring on the website and was really looking forward to it, it said white gold and real ruby with 6 diamonds. It was not white 18K gold but sterling silver with the stamp 925 on the inside of it. The ruby was a lab made product from what the jeweler told me and he said 'at best lab made' but definitely not a real ruby, as for the diamonds pftt not even zirconia but glass! Don't waste your money! As you can see it looks gluggy close up, so as long as you flash it from a distance I wouldn't waste another dollar on this place and I haven't!

TOTAL FRAUDS
November 27, 2016

ATTENTION! DO NOT BUY ANTHING FROM THIS COMPANY. I did not listen to the previous reviews and had to find out for myself. I "won" 4 pieces of jewelry from this site. I spent a total of $615 on 4 pieces. THEY ARE JUNK! Costume jewelry at best. As soon as I took them out of the box I could see they were fake. I brought them to an appraiser just to be sure and he confirmed that they were not real and WORTH NOTHING. Please do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company. Not to mention that if this was truly an "Auction" then they would not have the same pieces of jewelry up for auction over and over again. This Company needs to be dealt with for passing off false merchandise. STAY AWAY!
