Bidder Reviews for Historia Auctionata (123)

I can sincerely encourage to bid here!

Shipment is great and payment is super easy.

Package received, everything packed perfectly, the products are better than in the photo.

Really satisfied!

We have worked with many auction houses, most all are a smooth process, even if it is International. Historia was not user-friendly, a difficult process. It does not "lead you through the payment and delivery process"; it took days to figure out how to not only pay for the item, but how to have the item shipped to us. The shipping costs PLUS extra fees were double the cost of the item itself. We tried to cancel the order due to the high shipping and extra fee costs, but there was no option to cancel. Correspondence was "general" and not helpful.

Excellent product, best recommendations!

After selling the product, the auction takes care of delivering the product to the buyer. The product is carefully packed and sent to the buyer. The product is delivered quickly and responsibly. Great, I will definitely be participating in the Historia Auctionata auctions

I am satisfied...

After several emails after making the payment got the run around from the auction house for a few weeks. They claim that the item was in high demand and was not available, yet I was the winner of the item. Several emails to the auction house nad every time I emailed they claimed they did not know. Sounds more like they didn't get the price they wanted for it and failed to adhere to the sale of the item. I would be careful win bidding with this auction house.

Thanks a lot!

Once again-bidding, payment, shipping, everything is in place. Before I ask a question it is taken care of.

I WENT OUT OF MY WAY TO TELL THEM HOW TO SHIP THE CLOCK, SINCE IT WAS COMING FROM EUROPE AND HAD TO GO THROUGH CUSTOMS. I STATED "NO PEANUTES" AND USE LARGE BUBBLE WRAP. THEY USED SMALL BUBBLE WRAP AND PLENTY OF PEANUTS THAT CAN CAUSE JIGGLE AND BREAKAGE. THE CLOCK ARRIVED WITH HANDS OFF AND CHIME NOT WORKING AS THEY STUFFED PAPER INTO CLOCK, JAMMIING THE MECHANISM. AS TO ACCURACY, IT WAS NOT A CUBE, AS ALL DIMENSIONS WERE NOT SQUARE.

Purchasers should be aware that engaging in transactions with this particular auction house carries inherent risks. Regrettably, we experienced an unfortunate incident when acquiring a collection of busts through their auction. Upon delivery, one of the busts arrived in a damaged condition, prompting us to promptly notify Historia Auctionata, the auction house in question. Surprisingly, their response suggested that the damage could be rectified by a simple application of glue, disregarding the fact that professional expertise is required for the intricate repair process. Furthermore, they failed to extend any form of assistance or offer to initiate a claim on our behalf. Consequently, we have unequivocally resolved to refrain from further engaging with this auction house in any future transactions.

Always interesting and unique items for sale

cool very thanks.

US buyers are subject to VAT. Credit card payments have an additional fee. In the end, I used PayPal (which is not my preference). Other than that, I am pleased with my purchase. I attended the auction in real time on line. I was the only bidder for this item. I noticed that other items had no bidders and the asking price was reduced. I think I might have been able to acquire the item for less.

The invoice took some time, the shipping notice took some time as well. The actual shipping was very quick and item was packaged well. Overall it was a positive experience and I look forward to their future auctions.

I bid on a beautiful brooch at this auction house, the starting bid was almost the same as the lowest estimated price but that was ok for me as I liked the item. I did win the brooch but between the house commission and the very high VAT on everything as below 22, 69 % Commission: 19, 00 % VAT on commission: 5, 00 % commission for Live bidding online: 19, 00 % plus VAT for this commission: 19, 00 % VAT on shipping costs I ended up paying almost double the price for my item. Am not happy and regret buying from them and would advice that no one outside Germany use that auction house because quite frankly I ended up at a huge loss

Thank you for a smooth business. Look forward to buying more from your auction.

They sent the lot much different which the gold removed than I had won, twice. The same pics of the lot have ever been uploaded on their page twice. Even if they do many lots, which I admire to possess, I gave up.

After many attempts to pay them, I was unable to make a bank transfer because they are flagged by banks for suspicious activities, then I had to wire directly to a personal account of theirs the money and still have not received item. Paid for Item first week of June. Worst experience with an auction house ever. Have been a customer of LiveAuctioneers for over 6 years and this is the first time I write a review, because the experience has been so bad.

These candle sticks were packed in a very strong box and with protection all around them. They arrived quickly once sent, and I am very happy with the item.

Very cool product, best communication company.

I have purchased from many auction houses via LiveAuctioneers for years and this is the first negative experience I’ve had. After winning an item in their November auction, I was left with no way to pay for it. They do not use Live pay and I never received an emailed invoice as is standard. They have now opened a dispute against my account for non payment while simultaneously not allowing me to pay. I have sent them multiple messages but have gotten no response. I can’t understand operating a business like this and will stay away from their auctions in the future.

Item came packed well and as described.
