Not an antique
Neglected to indicate that this item was a new reproductions. I would never have bid on it.
Boston Harbor Auctions Jul 24, 2021
Dear Rick, It is unfortunate to read this after you neglected to pick this lot up for over 100 days. You were not charged storage. I hope the readers of your review might take the time to view your purchased lot, LOT 164 from our nov 21, 2020 auction. I believe anyone who views the pictures and observes the grime and patina will agree that your comment of the lot being a “NEW REPRODUCTION” is quite unfair. While I acknowledge the piece is not nineteenth century, zero claim was made by our firm about it being antique. Absolutely nothing in the description is misleading in any way. Rick, please view www. bbc. co. uk and punch in “grog tub” and you will see that these were being made until 1970 when the daily ration was discontinued. In closing I ask everyone to look at the photos and realize that this one star review is undeserved.

Great auction for model ships, maritime art, Etc. etc.
They have a large showroom packed with all things maritime including over 50 model ships, and rooms full of art and maritime antiques. He’s been in business at least 25 year and is well trusted in the industry both locally and internationally. Hi online descriptions are very accurate. He’s a local man that is in the business for the long haul!

Poor contact with buyers.
Contact is poor. They do not answer emails. A question I asked before the auction went unanswered; I bought the item regardless. I have sent several emails since, asking for a list of shipping options, no reply. Finally I phoned them. they said he would organise shipping. Three weeks later..... no word. Again my emails went unanswered. They really need to look at their customer service.

This clients query was answered on April ninth, Customer was informed the model had no fittings, had a lead keel, etc.. Shipping options are clearly stated in conditions. As most bidder know shipping is not the auction houses job. This bidder lives in New Zealend. We spent time quotin for the client the five and a half foot box overseas. Customer had us ship it to a California address for which we paid 240 dollars and have not been reimbursed.

Boston Harbor Auctions Sold Damaged Items
Boston Harbor Auctions knowingly sold damaged items without accurate written description We are a deadly pandemic and in person viewing impossible, honest auction descriptions are more needed than ever.
Boston Harbor Auctions Nov 14, 2020
The damage was visible in the photographs. This was pointed out to the buyer BEFORE he chose to try and file a FRAUDULENT claim against the UPS store. When I called the client about this his reply was “why am I getting involved?”

High quality antiques, hard to find items.
Larry and Boston Harbor Auctions have been doing business for many years and have a fine reputation. The estimates for each item are usually right in line with the marketplace. Great after sale response.

Should be mandatory that all lots in an auction have photos available for the online bidders. Otherwise these folks do a very good job.

The auction description provided a shipping weight well below the actual weight. The shipping house recommended (UPS Store) provide a shipping estimate and doubled the amount after packaging. Way overpriced material costs and not easy to work with.

The folks at the auction house were very helpful over the phone and their recommendations for the shippers was excellent. Looking forward to next auction.

Boston Harbor auctions and their staff do a great job answering any and all questions before and after their auctions. I have worked with them on several occasions and they are professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. Keep up the great work!
