Very good service, communication
Pleased with this auction process and house. Staff (Dave) was quite responsive to inquires about condition and additional photos, and that gave me confidence to bid. Shipping was quick and efficient and inexpensive, especially for a bulky, fragile, item. Packing was excellent and item came through in great condition. Purchase was as described in listing (even a bit better, in some respects).
