Bidder Reviews for GLOBAL NETWORTH AUCTIONS (29)

As part of my collection, I buy autographs and purchased what was purported to be a Babe Ruth signed check. First, the item is merely a reduced copy of the original check and is worth nothing. Secondly, this auction house charged me $250 to pack and ship this to me... and when it arrived it had a $23.00 USPS label on it. This is the worst experience I've ever had with an auction house I've dealt with on any auction platform. I ended up paying over $300 for a piece of junk. I will NEVER deal with this auction house again!!!!

Completely DISHONEST to the point of being FRAUD. The auctioneer evaluated the desk at 1, 500-2, 500 $yet he conveniently omitted to mention that all four legs have severe structural fractures, making the table totally wobbly and unable to stand or be used. The wood is ROTTEN on the entire left side of the desk, and has a complete FRACTURE on the top right side of the desk. None of this was divulged in the description. When I contacted the auctioneer about these issues, his only response was that he sells his goods on consignment so he is not responsible, 2-that he invites people to read his disclaimer and 3-he doesn't do refunds. I replied that he IS responsible for omitting information about the actual condition of the desk, that if the desk is rotten and broken, people should not read the fine print in his disclaimer, and his estimated value of 1, 500 -2, 500 $has to reflect the actual value of the desk-This desk can only be used as a stage prop at best (not worth more than 200 !). Yet, he charged me 250 $to place the desk on a pallet. I paid 800 $to have it shipped from California to Montreal, plus brokerage and duties. I wasted over 2, 000 $on a desk that is completely broken & rotten. my advice STAY AWAY FROM THIS AUCTIONEER-HE IS A FRAUD! I have emailed liveauctioneers about this and have placed a dispute on my credit card given that he has misrepresented his desk and purposefully omitted to mention that the desk is completely useless.

Call Whole failed to assist in making a federal express damage claim that required the sender to initiate the claim.

Don’t trust this auction to ship anything at a fair price. They charged me $250 to ship a very small painting. The USPS would have charged $30 for the same.

Great to deal with!!

Highly recommend this seller! Very responsive and quick to ship items. All items as described and of great quality. I would buy again from this seller. Wonderful experience!

I purchased what was supposed to be n original painting. It is not and instead is printed on canvas. Not a good quality painting at all. They also wanted to gouge me for shipping. Not good to work with, buyer beware.

Danny is a very nice guy. He was easy to deal with. We picked up the Foo Dogs at his storage facility. So we had the pleasure of meeting him in person.

Didn’t mention the clock had been damaged/repaired, might have said there was no pendulum. Nice piece overall, but I had been outbid and won anyway! Makes one wonder a bit. I asked for an explanation, but no response.

Good communication, Thanks for your help

The auction item was top quality. The process was as advertised and went very smoothly. No surprises. The item was fairly heavy, but the shipper packed it very carefully and it arrived safely. AAAAAAA + + + + + + + +. Thanks for a smooth transaction!!!!

The items I bought were delivered in less than a week. excellent service and quick responses.

Last time I bid with this auction House selling reproductions. Expensive shipping. Complete fake a complete waste of money would NEVER think of using this painting.. Displeased is all aspects of this purchase. Getting much better items at shops and ebay-paying less, not having to deal with arranging shipping and shipping far cheaper if bought retail shop or ebay. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. PLAN TO DO A LOT LESS BUYING THROUGH LIVE AUCTIONEERS

Should have read the reviews first on these guys. It has been almost a decade since I have felt the need to leave a "less-than-stellar" review on an online auctioneer. This company purposely list cheap, mass-produced canvas prints under the subcategory of "paintings" with the intention of fooling people into purchasing them as paintings. They also post estimated values in the hundreds, consistent with original paintings, not with the common prints that they actually are. When I asked them why they listed this item under the "Paintings" subcategory instead of the "Prints..." subcategory, their response was that they didn't actually say they WERE paintings in the description. They also didn't say why they didn't identify it as a "print." After requesting a refund, they simply responded that I needed to find and "kindly" read the small print in their "terms and conditions" which in basic terms, told me that I was screwed. They are dishonest with their customers. Caveat emptor. The prior negative reviews on this dealer are, unfortunately, all too correct.

Excellent service, great directions, very informative and friendly. Would buy again if something came up for bid in which I was interested in. Thanks so much!!

This auction clearly lists this lot as an "oil on canvas painting" and it turns out to be a print. Claims description explains but it's ambiguous at best. Won't refund or accept return. LiveAuctioneers says they have no way to help. Please, please, please stay away from this dishonest and unethical auction house. Don't get caught in their trap! I'm placing my online bids at the other live auction site from now on. I feel that move would be very invaluable at the moment. Also, if you live in Southern California and are tempted to visit an estate sale run by the Kovarkisi's, the same people who run this "auction house", don't! They try to pass off brand new import bronzes, furniture, decorative arts, and paintings as old, but they are absolute junk. This type of dealer gives legitimate sellers a bad name.

All-in-all I was very pleased with the whole buying experience. I promptly received an email from an associate, who quickly offered a secure means of shipping at a competitive rate (they included a private shipping quote as well), and had my painting to me safe and sound within a week from halfway across the country.

Very happy with my items, would buy from Royal Decor again.

Very unhappy with them. Would not start a claim for damaged items. Out the Money and Out the resellable Items.
