This has to be the worse Auction house

This has to be the worse Auction house in the UK It was my first time selling at auction and not knowing just how vile this place is i sent thousands of pounds worth of item to them thinking they would individually value each item But they don t have time for that not enough staff so they just pile them all into lots and sold houndreds of pound worth of prints jewellery and other valuable items for as little as 10 per lot Their so called valuers have no idea of what things are worth they don t know their Beswick Horses from their Lagras They under value everything when i complained that i thought their estimates were too low they said it was to attract bidders They didn t even stick to their own already low estimate they went lower and lower to 5 3 almost begging the 20 or so people who showed up to take the items off their hands They were giving sellers items away for the price of a cup of coffee There s no advise to put things on Reserve after all to do that they first have to know what things are actually worth And there s no common sense to be found in this place I sent over 200 items worth thousands of pounds to John Nicholsons and they gave them all away for 605 They only post coming auctions for 3 day before the auction not enough time for people to view them because they turn thing around quickly there Where other auction houses have one or two auctions a month they must have at least 4 They said they had 400 people online and 290 to view at their auction house in a country of over 60 million people And it s very difficult to get to this auction house and i m sure not much of anybody even know it exisist When you buy at this sorry excuse of an auction house you have to pay immediately after the auction but they don t pay seller for 28 working days in my case it took 6 weeks and i had to chase them for the money such as it was I got the famous check is the post line in the end i email them telling them i knew they were holding on to sellers money to earn interest and keep there business running until the next auction that s when they called me and tranfered the money to my bank and they said i should distroy the check when it arrives IT NEVER ARRIVED DO NOT USE THIS AUCTION HOUSE BUT IF YOU MUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE THEN DO YOU ON RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN THINGS FIND OUT IT S WORTH AND PUT A RESERVE ON EVERYTHING RESERVE RESERVE RESERVE IS MY ADVISE TO YOU NO MATTER WHICH AUCTION HOUSE YOU GO TO If there was a zero star that s what i would give John Nicholsons Auction house in Fernhurst Krys

I returned a fake Herm s belt to this

I returned a fake Herm s belt to this auction house on the 15th of April They acknowledged receipt and told me I d be refunded minus shipping for another item I had won in a later auction Since then I ve received neither the refund nor the other items I paid for They ve ignored my emails and messages completely It s now been weeks with no communication no refund and no sign of the goods I m owed I m at my wits end and don t know if I ll ever get my money back or the items I rightfully won Very disappointing and stressful experience
