I gave him a pewter tea set to sell, he was supposed to start the bidding higher, we talked about it. I trusted him. He sold it for $9.99 a vintage pewter tea set. I know pewter isn't as popular now but he knows I would never agree to receive $4.32 for it. When I called him he said I agreed to it. I have sold many expensive things with him; he refused to compensate me for this mistake. I think he hired someone new and maybe that was the problem; he dropped the ball and his indifference was really upsetting.

Darren is the Director of Field Operations. - Hours of delays on the pickup date. - An aggressive staff member. - Understaffed event. He also mentioned that he would use the situation as opportunity to perform training with staff. Doesn't that sound good? Guess what happened? They suspended my account and have stopped communicating. That sounds like retaliation. I have to assume that they really do not care about customers and they regret that they issued a refund.

However, Daniel spent 25 minutes walking me through the typical process, sharing insight on how to pick a company, understanding the market, and typical cost of a sale.

Our experience with them has always been exceptional. They consistently offer a diverse selection of high-quality and unique pieces, from fine art and antiques to collectibles and furniture. The detailed catalog descriptions and photographs in their app are always accurate, which helps build trust when bidding remotely. The staff at Potomack Company is knowledgeable, professional, and approachable, always willing to answer questions or provide additional information about auction items. I've found their bidding process to be seamless, and their post-sale services--like invoicing and shipping--are efficient and customer-focused. What I appreciate most is the level of care they put into curating their auctions as each sale is thoughtfully organized. I highly recommend Potomack Company to anyone interested in buying or selling through an auction house. They've certainly earned our loyalty.

Anabelle and her team showed incredible understanding and compassion, handling all items with care and keeping open communication throughout the entire process. Her gentle energy was comforting, calming, and supportive. They made a very difficult situation much easier to manage, especially as my parents live elsewhere and I took on most of the communication to help the process go smoothly. They were quick, efficient, and showed the utmost respect. I wholeheartedly recommend this company to help lighten the load during such a overwhelming time for those who have lost someone. They did the legwork, and I will be forever grateful for their kindness and assistance.

They did have items for sale from 25% to 75% off yet they were not items I was interested in buying. Customer service was good. They informed me of how I could build credit with purchases made there to use to obtain items there. High end items were well curated and priced fairly. Most of the expensive & luxury brand items were placed in locked cabinets except for a set of $400 Waterford crystal. I saw and tried some jewelry items in one of these cabinets but didn't find any to my liking. I enjoyed browsing the items and selected a dress & children books to buy. Proceeds from the store help fund the hospital's mission to provide world class healthcare. This store is like a boutique consignment store to purchase gently used to almost new items - moderate to high end luxury brands. Avoid this place if you are expecting a thrift store and cheap prices. This place is worth checking out if you like consignment stores with high end luxury items & brands.

Some of these had been quoted as having SOME value by other estate / auction houses. I received ZERO dollars from their services. And worse, they just dumped my items at a donation location (Goodwill?). When I followed up with them, they were unapologetic ("those were the terms"). Don't waste your time. They put in a minimal effort - and I was "rewarded" with an equal outcome. Even before this unfortunate outcome, they were uncommunicative AND unresponsive.

The Hour specializes in new and vintage merchandise dedicated to one of my most favorite distractions: the cocktail. But not just any cocktail. Oh, no. The cocktail of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. A bygone era when Tom Collins was king, a circle dress hung in any self-respecting woman's closet, and the cocktail party was a regular weekend occurrence. (To drive home their commitment to this epoch, The Hour sells "Mad Men" box sets.) The vintage glass collection here is mesmerizing. I was particularly taken with the cocktail sets -- gorgeous pitchers or shakers plus the requisite sipping glasses -- and a little stand of silver and stone picks. Husband was particularly taken by the flasks, especially a masculine looking glass one with a mahogany brown leather cover. He also wanted to walk out with a fun set of golden Toledo cocktail swords. En garde! I spent a lot of time in the little back room that features cocktail party baubles and accessories any woman would covet, from sparkly rhinestone broaches and silk clutches, to exquisite cocktail rings with oversized flowers and feathered hair pieces. I picked up a funky portable purse hook with a fun, retro design...for some reason I've been wanting one for ages, and where better to buy one than at an independent neighborhood store? Not only is The Hour a completely absorbing place to browse and shop; not only is the merchandise impeccably selected and thoughtfully displayed; not only are the prices fair and the staff friendly; but they have also partnered with St. Coletta of Greater Washington, a non-profit that works with adults with intellectual disabilities. The Hour sells pretty glass coasters and trays made by the St. Coletta community, and for each purchase donates $5 back to St. Coletta. Supporting a small local business that, in turn, is giving back to my community? Yes, please.
