For the past 50 years I have collected Chinese ceramics and other small objects…read more I am always looking to upgrade my collection. So, you can imagine my pleasure at finding an auction house where I could sell some pieces and maybe purchase some others. Mistake! I am not Asian. They did not allow me to walk more than 5 steps into their establishment. At that point a very polite little man blocked my way and a young woman in frayed jeans was brought out to deal with my unwelcomed intrusion into the shop. BTW the door was open. When I told the young woman that I have a collection of antique Asian ceramics, she gave me a look that even offended me... and I am from NYC! Unless you call for an appointment they do not wish to speak to you. Also their commission is 25% on all sales under 4000.00USD... You can do MUCH better than that. BTW. I was well dressed and groomed with jewelry. Sad!!!

However, Christie's went out of there way to find a private buyer who purchased the piece at my minimum acceptable price. They truly went over and beyond the norm to assist me!

If you find yourself stuck (and/or lucky enough) inheriting antiques, art and jewelery pieces from…read moreyour grandparents estate & feel inclined to sell the pieces at the "high end" of the market (instead of on the Haight at Crossroads Trading Company), then you may be smart to checkout the San Francisco location of the world-renowned Christie's Auction House. E.N. overseas the location & could hardly be considered "warm & friendly" (as she rarely takes phone calls or even gets up to offer a brief "hello"), but at least, unlike their infamous rival (Sotheby's) here in SF, the office staff attempts to be friendly & not so snotty when requesting to view catalogues for upcoming sales. Christie's is ultimately the finest way to sell luxury items on the most grand of scales!

What a disappointment! Never did get to work with them. Sent an email as instructed on their…read morewebsite with a list of items for commission sale. Sent a direct email. Called once a week for 4 weeks: 1st call "wait a week and you'll hear from us" 2nd call "oh sorry, he must be behind" 3rd call "he's on vacation but you'll be his first call when he returns" 4th call (1 month after my first email) "sorry he's busy--and we're 2 months behind" I ask 2 months from when I first wrote or 2 months from now? Answer: 2 months from now. They could have told me this at any one of my previous calls. They could have an auto-reply on their email "thank you for your interest, please note we have a 2 month backlog" -- but here I am a month later and back at square one.

On the first and third Wednesdays of each month you can bring five items to be appraised for free. I had heard about this from a friend. Unfortunately the five items that I had would be considered far from valuable. This did not stop me from emailing her with a few other items I have at home. Perhaps I'll have better luck with these other items not pictured here. She was very professional and candid.

Gave me his thoughts and was kind and informative. Tammie was my main contact and was also extremely helpful. She explained the process and I went ahead and had them list some items for me to sell in the auction. I also bought some items from them at an auc. I learned a lot about bidding on items! It was a first for me and will be doing it again! I should mention the other folks who helped but I did not save the cards. So I will say everyone was stellar. If you are someone who is looking to sell or buy I would highly recommend them!

MaxSold should be investigated. I won an item in a legitimate live auction, only to be told on pick…read moreup day that the item was "no longer available." No real explanation was given. Just a vague excuse and a support team that clearly didn't care. This is not just unprofessional -- it raises serious concerns about the integrity of their auction process. If sellers can withdraw items after bidding ends, that's deceptive and potentially a breach of contract. It's hard to trust a platform where winning doesn't actually mean anything. MaxSold needs to be held accountable. At minimum, buyers deserve transparency and protection. Until then, I would strongly advise others to think twice before trusting this company.

I went down the wrong street at lunch today and saw this place and knew I had to return after work. If you need some household item cheap and don't mind getting questionable quality, this is the place for you. Need 100 "non-medical" latex gloves? $5. Need a broom for $3? You're in luck. They also have a huge supply or Chinese dinnerware and utensils like those wide soup spoons and gigantic woks and huge rice cookers for reasonable prices. Power cords, shop lights, $3 flashlights, trash cans and containers, fake Q-tips. Basically, if you are in the area and need something simple and you don't need quality, stop here and take a look. It's interesting even if you don't buy anything.
