Bought a safe without any keys

Bought a safe without any keys There was no information regarding this on the lot description and the lot was in storage at Eastfield Still had to buy the safe and now nearly 4 months later still waiting for them to auction the safe again Very poor This is clearly a deliberate act to try and antagonise me I would not recommend Dugglebys to anyone buying or selling Snobbish expensive and useless

Absolutely disgusted with this auction

Absolutely disgusted with this auction house I took two boxes of things down to have appraised and auctioned I was awaiting a phone call to say what they thought Next thing I knew they had lumped it all together put it in an auction not at the sale room but online and sold the lot for 15 There was Doulton crystal antiques Gone No consultation or anything I ended up with 5 for all my good stuff

Absolute rubbish auction house

Absolute rubbish auction house Sell patched up movements and watches for high prices Knowing or not is your responsability to be sure what you sell is genuine What a scam house Never will buy again here Advice for readers save your money Do not buy Rolex with FHF movement in it or Tudor with pink and chromed colour ebauche EB parts Disgusted

Postage Rip Off

An absolute rip off 35 00 postage for a 500 gram parcel that cost less than 10 00 to send ONLINE BUYERS BEWARE

HOW NOT TO RUN A BUSINESS

Tried to obtain a valuation on-line and sent full details of a painting and never even had the courtesy of a reply and that was via the Harrogate office melanie saleem Today because i was in the area called in the valuation event at the Talbot in Malton and it turned out to be a non-event Totally unsuitable venue with no nearby parking as the car park was overflowing Eventually shown to a tiny room jam packed with no privacy and facing a long wait Appointments So my advice is go elsewhere unless you want to waste your time ess

Asked for a valuer to visit our home

Asked for a valuer to visit our home where we had a large collection of porcelain miniatures Was asked to send photos which could not be sent due to size of file I then took pictures to them on my I pad and was advised that a valuer would contact me to arrange a visit No one contacted me so I contacted the lady who told us she would be our liaison sent her 2 e mails but didn t even get the courtesy of a reply This is appalling service If you don t want to do the valuation you could at least give the courtesy of advising us We will not be using this auctioneers and would recommend others to consider alternatives

I highly recommend this company

Well organised auctioneers with interesting sales

First class service

First time I ve used David Duggleby In fact first time I ve attended an Auction online Process was very easy and viewing the lots and bidding was straight forward enough I had an issue with one of the two items I purchased but his was resolved by their customer service team very easily and to my satisfaction

Excellent

I highly recommend this company I have many years of experience as both a buyer and seller at this auction house Unlike many other auction houses Dugglebys has changed with the times and is constantly looking to make improvements The consequence of this is that it has developed into a market leader in Yorkshire and the North of England Family based David Jane and their son provide good strong leadership The valuation team are highly knowledgeable and helpful The office team are extremely personable delightful and efficient The porters are very pleasant and obliging Buying and selling is an easy and a satisfying experience Catalogue descriptions are accurate and condition reports are easily available The evolution of this company should serve as a role model to others in this industry Prices attained at Dugglebys are constantly improving and reflect the true market value of goods
