    I'm something of a veteran of antiques buying and selling, and of auctions. I probably attend at…read moreleast a couple of sales every week, so I've got a broad array of experiences from which to contextualize. Leland Little is a great spot. This isn't Christie's or Sotheby's, but I'm not sure we'd have a market for that in this part of North Carolina. But there *is* a lot of money here, and a surprising abundance of really high quality second hand goods, and I can see why Leland Little gets his fair share of them through his auction house. The catalogues are very well produced, with top-notch photography. The auction house itself has comfortable chairs and plenty of space in which to walk around and peruse the goods. The free hors d'oeuvres and cupcakes were a nice touch. Perhaps the biggest problem I had was the poor cellular reception I got inside the building ... but that's hardly their fault. The staff were friendly and professional and set me up with a bidding number as quickly as one could hope for. When I wanted to examine something in a case, it wasn't hard to find a staffer to offer a lending hand. Absolutely no complaints there. Another reviewer bemoaned the cost of the goods being auctioned. If your basis of comparison is Etsy and eBay, then you're probably in the wrong place. The clientele at Leland Little appeared to me to be a little more discerning, and i can entirely understand why these policies exist. Absentee bids cost a company money to process, and it's entirely normal to have minimum bid amounts. If you don't like that, then you're not going to like a lot of the higher end auction houses out there.

    Do not trust Leland Little with your high-value items. They took a rare 1999 Kweichow Moutai and…read morelet it go for $475--a fraction of its true secondary market value. Instead of properly evaluating the piece or marketing it to serious collectors who actually understand vintage spirits, they dumped it in a low-visibility listing just to clear the lot. It feels like an absolute scam for sellers. If you want your items sold for pennies on the dollar while they take their commission, go ahead. Otherwise, run. I would have rather dumped it out in the streets then to get ripped off the way I did.
