    First time purchasing from this auction house, and I have a couple of gripes, but overall, they're…read morea great operation. 1) Their online bidding platform has a bit of a learning curve. I missed out on an item I REALLY REALLY wanted because of it. 2) When the item you want is up for bid, the time to decide if you want it goes VERY QUICKLY and there is no soft close. I don't mind there not being a soft close, but the speed of the competing bids coming up and the time you have to make a decision is just too fast. I would've bid higher on items I lost out on, and I probably got nervous and bid on an item I probably would've passed on. 3) The online descriptions of the items are VERY minimal. When you're bidding out of town and don't have a chance to preview (assuming you can), you need as much information as possible. I got two items I probably would've passed on had I been able to preview and gleaned their style and condition. 4) The premium is too high. That said, and I know that seems like a lot of negatives, but their inventory is really good. They get some really nice pieces. And they are professional. And pickup is seamless. You can come anytime M-F between 9-5. They'll even load for you.

    At best, Bunch is totally ignorant of the market and the items they deal in; at worst, outright…read morefraud. Company engages in fair practices to neither to buyer nor seller. Avoid like the plague.

    I called Briggs and told them what I had over the phone, then sent photos .. I got a response that…read moreessentially said we are looking for paintings and designer high end goods( I had 4 pair of Manolo Bhlanik heels) . when I emailed back to question they now said we only want estates of over $10 ,000. I've sent them quite a few customers over the years, but never again. left a bad taste in my mouth. bad business. I'm done.

    My mother and I had an excellent experience with Briggs as sellers of antiquities. My mom was…read moredownsizing into a smaller residence, and had to give up many precious antiques that she and her mother had collected for years. Everything that Briggs did to handle the estate was top-notch: from initial communication about the process and their pricing structure, to carefully packing and moving the items, to researching and assessing each piece, and finally, to selling the items with detailed, accurate descriptions, then providing a detailed list of what sold, for how much, and a check sent within a month of the last sale. Josie from Briggs was great both on the phone and over email (and in person, per my mom). My mom said she couldn't be happier with Briggs - even if some items didn't fetch as much money as we had hoped they would, we felt like everything was handled very professionally and fairly - and sometimes, antiques just don't go for as much as you'd think they would. It's a finicky market. Many thanks to Josie and the Briggs team for their outstanding professionalism and service!
