On July 3, 2017 I picked up a 2 pc. Lladro set that I purchased online from A.B.Levy's palm beach…read moreauctioneers After viewing the items I realized how this company had misrepresented what they were selling. I inquired why there was no mention in the auction listing of the broken finger on the woman or that the tennis racquet had been broken and sloppily glued back on . The lady there said that there was just too many items that she had to upload, stating that it was impossible for her to state the imperfections. She went on to say that if she made any mistakes in her typing that it took too much time for the software to make any changes. In addition to these problems there was glue on the back of one piece and a lot of dirt on another piece. In addition there was a problem in the getting the item from the store even though it was paid before I showed up online . I was told by A.B. Levy's Palm Beach Auctioneers that I was going to eventually get a receipt emailed but I never did , but I was going to be right in that area anyway today, so I went to pick it up. This company is so unprofessional that they don't have a computer to go online somewhere to see if an items was paid for. So the lady sent an email and we had to wait for a reply before she would give us the items. Horrible experience with A.B. Levy's. It appears they lack both knowledge and pride.

Watch out for their ridiculously high buyer's premium of 28% added to your bid price. It is the…read morehighest of any I have ever seen in my life. I stopped buying from them after they raised it so high. Unlike standard antique/used auction industry practice, they don't bother to include the troy wt. of sterling silver lots. They don't accept credit cards for purchases over $10,000 so you have no recourse but to sue them if they misrepresent items costing over 10 grand and refuse to refund. They also only give you the ridiculously short time of 3 days to remove your purchases before they charge you for storage.

He is incredibly accommodating and he personally came to pick up my items a couple of times, talked through the estimates, and explained the entire process in a clear and patient way. You can tell he genuinely cares about his consignors. What really stands out about Brian is his willingness to take pieces that many other auction houses will not even consider. He does not avoid wildcard or tougher-to-sell artwork, and he consistently puts in the effort to find the right market for these items. That level of commitment is rare in this industry. He is also very flexible, fair, and understanding when it comes to logistics and fees. I have had unexpected situations come up, and he handled everything with complete professionalism. He has never treated small issues as a burden, and his fairness always comes through. In a field where this type of consideration is uncommon, Brian is truly one of a kind. I would gladly consign with him again without hesitation.

Brian is the worst person I have ever dealt with in a business setting. On multiple phone calls he…read morescreamed at me, lost his temper, and refused to admit the simple, obvious, dumb mistake his auction house made. I genuinely hope Auction Gallery of the Palm Beaches goes bankrupt -- everyone should avoid this business and this rude dickhead. Timeline and facts: March 30, 2025: I emailed Junior and Pak Mail (the shipping services listed on the Auction Gallery of the Palm Beaches website) to request a quote only for shipping. The quotes were too expensive and I did not authorize any shipping. I have all email communications proving I only requested quotes and did not request service. March 31, 2025: I called Brian to ask whether Brian provide in-house shipping. Brian said yes and quoted a $20 handling fee. I agreed and Brian told me packaging would be finished by the end of the week (April 6, 2025). April 8, 2025: I called for a tracking number. Brian told me my items had been released to Junior -- even though I never asked Junior to pick them up. When I told Brian this, Brian suddenly lost it and screamed that I must have requested it. I again explained I only requested quotes. Brian told me to contact Junior. Junior said he did not have my items. When I called Brian back asking where my items were, Brian responded, "Oh, it must be Gil (Pak Mail). You need to contact Gil, not me." April 9, 2025: I called Gil at Pak Mail. Gil admitted Pak Mail picked up my items and couldn't explain why, given I never requested their service. Pak Mail agreed to return the items to the auction house. When I confronted Brian, he claimed I had called and asked for in-house shipping on March 31 and then blamed me for poor communication with the shipper -- despite the fact that Brian released my items to Pak Mail without my authorization. Brian also said the auction house will never make mistakes. What a dumb statement -- a normal person would never say that. Brian's conduct is outrageous. He admitted he knew about my request and still released my items to Pak Mail. Rather than take responsibility, he screamed, denied the mistake, and blamed me. I was calm and patient throughout every call -- Brian was the one who repeatedly lost control and acted unprofessionally. This is a dumpster-fire level of incompetence. Waste my time and money. Garbage person and business.

The 3 FAKE art items purchased from Mr Scott Cieckiewicz were described as authentic Keith Haring…read moreartworks (see images). Upon final receipt of these 3 items it was established that the 3 items are fake Keith Harings, fake signatures supposedly by Keith Haring and in a nutshell are forgeries that were purposefully marketed and sold as authentic artworks (see images). I have tried to get the seller to refund my purchase upon return to them of the 3 fake artworks, which has been declined as an option by the seller of these fake Keith Harings. There is NO DOUBT that they were sold to scam the buyer as they were listed as authentic. This is from my understanding a CRIMINAL OFFENCE and prosecutable under in federal court under 18 U.S.C. § 1343 as well as Federal Art Fraud (18 U.S.C. § 2314). Refuse to give ANY REFUND ! Proof of our payment in images. Criminal and Civil litigation will now be persued as no resolution offered.

I've been in art and antique business for over 30 years and I have learned that there are no experts in the field. With COVID-19 the auction market is in the toilet and nothing is bringing the prices it should. Actually the value of some thing is a lot less since the markets of resale wholesale auction outlets are pretty much nonexistent. Which we will go through a Long period of recovery. Hold onto your objects until the recovery, the value will go up and don't be tricked by An Arkham house that has a bad reputation.
