At the end of every auction, buyers receive an automatic shipping quote from Gravity Boxes through Donny Malone. That constitutes a recommendation by and an association with Donny Malone. Neither firm takes responsibility for failure to ship after prompt payment. Neither firm responds to queries. I had to complain through Live Auctioneers, and the response from DM was that they have no association with Gravity Boxes when in fact they obviously do. Neither is taking responsibility for failure to ship, and both are responsible. Both will be sued.

I have been going to George Cole Auctions for 30 years. My experience with them has always been…read morevery positive and wonderful. They have quality items for sale. I have purchased many things from them for my home. I have also sold a few things through the auction house. I have found the customer service to be outstanding. George and Robin are lovely people who are friendly and welcoming to everyone who comes into their auction house. Their staff is totally professional. The only people who deserve any criticism are those who purchase items there and leave what they have purchased in the auction all for weeks on end cluttering up the place. I whole heartedly recommend the George Cole auction house. It deserves a ten star rating. If you go there for auction night, you will find it fun and entertaining. It's a great Saturday night out for everyone. Franceska

First off, the stated address is not where the auctions occur. That address is 612 Washington…read moreAvenue, right by the Olympic Diner (don't park in the diner's spaces though) off the 28/87/587/Washington Avenue roundabout. Second, and most importantly, I almost always have a great time at these auctions. The merchandise runs the gamut, and I've made some great purchases, from the 14 identical vintage Banana Republic bags to the ephemera lot that included a signed letter from Dame Maggie Smith to the bolt of 1950s atomic cloth to the bronze elephant pedestal that I still haven't found a place for. The auctions move at a nice clip, so you won't be there all day. Pick-up can be a little slow and hectic, but it should be expected in auctions where there are more than 500 lots for sale. I can't recommend JMW enough if you're furnishing a home, reselling at your vintage shop, collecting odd items, or you just like to see what's out there.

Spoke to the owner several times and he seemed very black & white answering questions as accurately as the listed descriptions on the site. Site was kinda confusing at first but I got the hang of it. Now have attended 3 online auctions and am shocked at the items he brings to auction (would expect several to be at Christie's or Swan). Bottom line is that Scott Daniel's is a premier auction house and they are experts! Just as a note did not want to promote this since it may bring more bidders - which is bad for me - but I did promise to do it. Sooooo Walter

I had a similar experience to that of another person who reviewed Scott's business. Several years…read moreago, Scott was very helpful in helping me ship the furniture from my mother's estate from California to High Falls. He auctioned it effectively but when he had the proceeds on hand, he paid me in dribs and drapes, a fraction of what he owed me, and then stopped responding to my pleas for full payment. I think he was experiencing serious personal and financial problems, but never came clean with me and I suspect the money he still owes me will never be paid. He's both a seemingly nice guy and also a con man who always had a dramatic story about why he couldn't pay me and when his court cases would be resolved and payment would follow. I feel sad for Scott but also wish he'd paid me the money he owed me.

While the website (www.oldredbarnauction.com) gives you a good idea on whats going to be put up at the monthly (1st Sat of the month) auction, going there is a better idea. You can really see things and look them over carefully. They allow you in, give as much time as you would like and are helpful if you have questions. They have many pieces of furniture, much from older estates being sold. Some come in on consignment. There is artwork there, often some interesting pieces. They have old stoneware on occasion. Stamps come in from local dealers. China sets from "the old country" (which could be Russia, Belgium, Greece and any country in-between). Glassware from the 1920's. Leaded glass. Chandeliers. Some things will go for $10, others for $1,000. I have seen a few things go for much more. VIEWING is usually Friday afternoon before the auction, and Saturday afternoon just prior. Cash, MC, Visa, NO AMEX, local checks 15% BUYER'S FEE - I don't think there is a discount for cash. Seating is not super comfortable. but if you get there early enough its manageable. Or you can stand in the back area. Get there early on Saturday, parking will be difficult, at best. That's one annoying thing. The other is the cost of the food they serve. Ludicrous, and not good enough for the price. 5 stars because you don't go for the parking and food anyway, the auctioneer is good and he keeps things moving along.

I've always wanted an antique stained glass window for my house and From Europe to You had a great…read moreselection with some beautiful examples of period stained glass. I found a window that I really liked and inquired as to shipping policies and condition of the window. They said shipping was free and the window was stable for framing and mounting. When the window arrived a few weeks later it was crated and palletized for secure shipping. When I opened the crate, I noticed that the leading was severely deteriorated and the top section had loose pieces of glass. I discussed the issue with the folks at FETY and they accepted partial responsibility and said they would cover half of the repair costs of the upper section, which they did. Upon further evaluation of the other two sections, I found them to be in better shape but the edge framing was still in poor condition and they required an additional $1000 worth of repair/restoration work which FETY did not offer to contribute to. Overall, a beautiful window at a fair price but they should have been more forthright about the condition of the window and the need for restoration before it could be mounted. They are generally responsive to customer concerns and are willing try to resolve issues up to a point.

I'm not a fan of asking "how much is this?" each time I see a piece that interests me. But I was quickly won over by the owner's friendly, hospitable and inviting demeanor. He explained that there is so much turnover in inventory, and so much of it, that it's a challenge to price everything quickly. Ok, cool! Doubt alleviated! As we ventured more deeply into this cavern filled with treasures, we discovered lots of cool pieces that struck a chord! The shadow box filled with badges and medals was alluring, and the sports memorabilia piqued my nephew's interest. The furniture was fabulous, many one-of-a-kind pieces that would surely add flair to any décor. There's also a case of figurines and knick knacks that would make cool conversation pieces. Another large display case held teapots, teacups & retro kitchenware. Everything was well appointed with little vignettes hither and thither on every table and shelf. We were quite mesmerized by the place. It was clean, well organized and intriguing. My daughter gathered several copper pots and containers for her collection, as well as an unusual brass unicorn spigot/faucet that was delightful! My niece perused the aisles while my sis-in-law and I spied the jewelry cases! I found some sterling silver & turquoise earrings along with a unique kite brooch of onyx and mother of pearl. Sis found a dainty pearl necklace, a strand of long cultured pearls, & a pretty pair of vintage cameo earrings. I loved Steve's willingness to wheel & deal and he made our day!!
