Peacockauction Reviews

Appears untrustworthy

I put in a bid on 2 items and apparently lost the next day I see the items up for sale in their next auction This looks like a very unscrupulous practice If the final bid is too low what appears to be a fake bid goes in and the item goes onto the next sale I would understand if there was a reserve price that was not met then the item should appear to be unsold reserve not met Not sure if I would trust again however they have blocked me because of my review so they have removed any chance to prove me wrong

WH Peacock St Neots - disappointing people

Purchased several lots from their St Neots Auction recently I looked carefully at the photos before purchasing When I collected my lots I noticed that they were covered in orange returns stickers None of these were showing in the photos as they had been turned inward so as not to be seen This happed on several lots I also purchased a lot of Thompson s waterproofing only to be told it didn t actually exist and they would refund me I thought we had a contract I mentioned when I collected about the orange stickers but nobody was interested I have since emailed twice and had no reply so am bitterly disappointed with this company I did think that with a long trading history I could trust them Obviously not

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

After having paid for postage and packing the clock arrived totally smashed to bits I did know it wasn t insured but there were no fragile notices on this package Also despite there being no knocks to the packaging the clock was smashed The packaging was quite thin so would have shown signs of being dropped This tells me that it was smashed whilst being packed They sent me a photo of the clock unpacked which proves nothing Very disappointed at the email I received which tells me they couldn t care less

Do NOT use this auction site for spirits and wine

Do NOT use this auction site for any of their wines and spirits auctions Under their terms and conditions linked to each lot they say they will take care if P P in house Only after you win and pay do they tell you they can t be bothered and you need to arrange it yourself Never again In reply to the below reply And yet the instruction you attach to each lot says you will arrange shipping I would kindly advise you remove that statement and warn people of your no shipping policy then you might get better reviews

in house bidding

Would not be bad if the Auction House did not bid against the clients there needs to be regulation of these types of sales taking it up with my MP The internet has brought much manipulation and fraud to the Auction industry

Buyer BEWARE

Buyer BEWARE They advertise items online take the picture nice and hiding the fault in the picture You buy online You pay the price plus the online fee for not comming 5 times to the action site and inspect and see and blah blah blah and then when you collect the item it falls apart in your hand missing parts screws Then they tell you is YOUR responsibility to check the item that is COMPLETE and that the item works and that is in one piece even if they clearly put the item together to take the picture to fool you Not the first time when this happened

Never again

I had just won items in an auction The items are few padlocks small safe and 3 hive thermostats-one standard and two mini For all this they want 40 for packing n delivery Or 30 for packing and delivery to be arranged by myself There is no law enforcement on this planet that will make me to pay them this ridiculous amount of money for these tiny little items that can all fit in a shoe box The girl gave me a quote out of thin air as no sane person would ask this much money Reading other reviews here I will never buy from them again nor should you

Buyer BEWARE

Buyer BEWARE Whilst this auctioneer says on their website that it is the buyers responsibility to check products before you bid Be warned they make NO EFFORT AT ALL to check if products work before they auction them so It is very very likely that most things will NOT work
