Very unhappy with being sold a counterfeit signed portrait of JFK which was clearly marked as original, when it turned out to be Autopen, and me under the guise of it being Authentic, as stated in the listing, paid hundreds of dollars to get it authenticated at JSA, which was deemed not authentic and an Autopen. I contacted Waterbury, where it seemed like the Owner was behind the Magic curtain as in the Wizard of Oz, and wouldn't speak to me directly, where I was told they would refund the picture, no real apologies and no refund on the authentication, even though they stated the autograph was original. This is I guess the due diligence taken from the auction house to determine it was real? Here is a direct quote from the office manager: "It is my understanding that upon having the signature authenticated, that it is not real. Our consignor believed the signature to be authentic as it was in his family for many years. " To make matters worse, when it was refunded, they refunded me .01 less than what I paid, which was done on my credit card, luckily I have automatic payments on or else I would not have seen the .01 charge as I would have thought I was refunded in full. I would like to believe this was not done on purpose, but I also noticed that the the order was marked as partial shipped on the auctionninja site, so I could not rate them, which seems to coincide with the .01 charge they left me with. This is a matter of principle, and a 100% factual review based on my experience. Photo of the heading of the auction provided as well

We had called in some auction companies to take care of my late husband's antique and art…read morecollection. But then I heard Mr. Lipton's name from a friend, and it was a huge difference. They placed paintings, jewelry, and furniture from the collection into some of the top auction houses the art had previously been denied from. The pieces performed exceptionally and I'm grateful to have met Mr. Lipton! I give Appraisers Associates' name out regularly to friends and family. Thank you, Mary

Highly recommend! I've worked with James Lipton at…read moreAppraisers Associates for several years now and he has appraised and brokered many sales for me. I am very pleased that he has consistently achieved very satisfying and profitable results. He is the most professional and trustworthy person I have come across in the art and antiques world. He is very knowledgeable about the items but also about how the markets work and how to be successful with them. He is great at research & I benefit from his long standing relationships with other experts. He has sold literally hundreds of my items a broad range of antiques, paintings, jewelry, silver, unusual objects, you name it. I'm really glad that I've ended up with much greater prices for my things than if I had just gone to auction houses or dealers myself. Working with him gets my things the special attention that they would not get otherwise, and which gets me better sales! RecentIy I had a rug that an auction told me would bring around $500. He got $6000! He's the best. Highly recommend!

I would never recommend this business to anyone. I hired the…read moreowner, Matt Sachs, to liquidate my mom's house after she developed Alzheimer's and had to move out of her home urgently, which she lived in for about 20 years. She had accumulated a good amount of quality pieces/antiques, furniture, rugs, etc. Matt was very personable, trustworthy, I really liked him and felt good about the contract in the beginning. Things were good for months, but eventually, when I started to ask for updates and accounting paperwork, he vanished. I tried to give him some grace, knowing his job is demanding and he's also a Dad, but he kept putting me off telling me he had to "speak to some people" about pieces to see where they ended up. One time he admittedly told me that my account was "closed out accidentally," but would re-open it and follow-up. The entire business deal got very sketchy toward the end, and to this day, I never heard from him again and I never got a final accounting for my mom's belongings. On top of the stress of becoming my mother's caretaker and conservator, and dealing with her illness and loss of independence, I had to carry the stress of chasing this guy down for what was owed to my Mom. I even went to a lawyer, and we sent out response requests with a strong fist, but Matt was radio silent, as expected. We also found out this was not the first time he had litigation against him (not a shock.) I could have pursued this further and placed a lien on his house, but I decided not to go ahead with this. Maybe I'm too nice... Maybe I just wanted the stress to go away, and didn't want to lose more money in the process. Either way you look at it, I'm not sure how someone like this sleeps at night. Very upsetting. The real estate agent who recommended him to me was mortified and will never recommend him again. Whatever his reason was, the very least he could've done was be honest. He could've told me he lost items. I'm an understanding person, but he went about this very unprofessionally and I still think about this all the time. Most people can never act like this in their place of work and get away with it. Since I didn't push ahead with a lawsuit, I feel the very least I can do is warn other people so they don't end up in the same place. I'm also not the first one, and unfortunately, I am sure I won't be the last.

Do not hire Matt Sachs. Much like the other review I am finding here, he started out OK,…read moredisappeared for a couple of weeks in the middle of cleaning out the house, came back and did a good job on the clean-out, but then disappeared, having taken a house full of property he was to have sent to auction and pay me a percentage of the proceeds. He just disappeared into the ether, refused to answer calls or email messages. Ultimately, he is dishonest. Do not trust his references, I called the professionals he listed and they were mortified to learn that he uses their names as references.
