A super auction house! The lots are well photographed and well-described, and when I emailed them with a query on one item's condition they responded the very next day. I won four fragile lots, which I asked them to pack and send - their packing quality was absolutely excellent and the amount they charged was far cheaper than any professional packing company. They also use an automated system that notified me of my parcel's expected arrival time.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I bought two pairs of binoculars through an online Auction, based on a Condition report which stated "Lenses are very good". Well, it turned out one of the binoculars are unusable because the alignment (collimation) is way out, and it has visible black particles inside. Even a superficial look through them would have shown this. I was then told that the auctioneer cannot be held responsible. Fine, I understand but I thought the Condition report would at least be a good enough guideline. This was my first and last trial into "online auction room bidding". The auctioneers take about 30% commission

The auctioneer, like the lady seated to his left in the mustard coloured cardy informed him to give the on-line bidders time to bid as on my screen for lot 491 I had the message of the winning bid @£42 and he still gave the room bidder the lot for £40, so if I was the seller the auction house have not got me the best price. also thesaleroom track bids so it would show through their records my bid was in time.
