Bidder Reviews for Toomey & Co. Auctioneers (383)

I love that Toomey provides accurate and honest condition reports and upfront about what you are bidding on. So many auction companies dance around committing to condition. I have been dealing with Toomey since 1996 and after many, many transactions I have never been disappointed. John Toomey & Co is my all time favorite! Thank you

Very quick response to messages and very helpful with the shipping

Prompt help, and shipping aid. Wonderful service.

The piece was very well-packed.

The merger of LAMA, Rago, Toomey and Wright had me concerned that the rapid growth would have a negative impact on some of my favorite mid-sized houses. I WAS WRONG! So glad that little has changed from this repeat buyers perspective. I will continue to buy from these houses.

selection and the auction process is outstanding at this house. The awkward follow through providing shipping was handled admirably by Toomey staff. My only grief was seeing the extra charges detailed for service and payment by credit card, I know the fees generally get passed on to the consumer, but I'd have felt less pain to see them slipped in more gently. At least I am happy to get what I paid for.

Great quality items, very, very helpful with long distance shipping.

excellent service

They were very responsive about my shipping concerns. Thanks

I purchased a Rookwood vase. The description of the item was perfectly accurate and the transaction seems to have been handled well. The recommended shipping company was very expensive and rather slow, and the estimated arrival date was extended by two weeks as soon as they collected payment. I wouldn't hesitate to make another purchase from this auction house, but I would use a third party shipper in the future. Overall it was a very positive experience.

I've won several items from Toomey & Co., never had any serious issues. They curate real and quality antiques. They didn't quite accurately assess the Art Nouveau box I recently won (two missing screws, not disclosed), but overall OK.

These pieces did not disappoint.

This was a lot for me to purchase from one auction event. Toomey did not disappoint.

All three pieces well-described and well-packed for safe arrival.

The lot was accurately described. Delivery went smoothly with no unpleasant surprises when the item was uncrated. Auction house staff were helpful and responsive to emails/messages. I prefer local auctions to avoid shipping costs, but I would not hesitate to buy again from Toomey & Co. because I know that they're professionals and don't sell junk.

Happy with two separate purchases. No issues.

Toomey & Company: Terrific people to work with, honest, exceptional, helpful.

Received 2 beautiful pieces of pottery, RV 453-16 Carnelian and a Large Freiwald Art Tile, LOL, I WAS going to sell one and keep the other but I decided to keep both, just too nice to sell, I should be on one of the hoarders shows in the near future, THANK YOU!!!!

Everything went smoothly for purchasing and delivering a large piece of furniture!

Pieces nicer than i expected!

Wonderful finds. Perfectly described. Easy to work with.

A real pleasure dealing with one of the top tier auction house 'run by professionals! Kevin could not have been more helpful in all aspects of my purchase! The Lalique brooch was even nicer than pictured-thank you! Looking forward to purchasing from this team again!
