Auctioneum Opiniones 

Have worked with East Bristol auction for two years
and find them very trustworthy and professional
would never use any other auction rooms, even though
I live 100 miles away, I’m amazed when I watch the auction live , they have dealers from all over the world
Bidding, another positive is the 10 day follow on sale
(after sales ) so any unsold items go on timed bidding
Sometimes making more than the main sale .
I have no connection with this auction room
but would highly recommend them to any seller.

In June 2020, we bought one of 4 perfectly described Herman Miller Studio7.5 Mirra 2 chairs which by the very description had to have been manufactured after 2016.
We paid over £330 for the chair after all costs and then had to pick it up.
Just a month later the seat split and I guessed as I had bought it at auction that I was just unlucky.
After getting a new seat from the manufacturer it didn’t fit, lo and behold the Mirra 2 chair bought from a reputable auction site specialising in 20 th century design amongst other things such as toys etc, is not a Mirra 2 but a much older (2003 on) Mirra chair worth substantially less than the described Mirra 2.
Company doesn’t want to know, accepts no responsibility, blames the vendor, and is not bothered as they say they are not responsible for any of their descriptions.
Even if we could have attended the auction which we were not allowed to, I am not an expert in 20 th century design and could not have worked out that the description was misleading, unlike the auction house which supposedly specialises in these items.
Anyway they accept no responsibility and we are now left with a chair we did not set out to buy and which is much older at a hugely inflated cost to start with and now with a new seat is even more expensive than a Mirra 2 chair as new. They have offered us a percentage of the commission back , but as this chair is not worth anything like the one actually advertised, we are not happy and taking it further with trading standards.
This company recently had a well advertised sale for a pair of Gandhi’s glasses, hope the description was correct, as otherwise they may well have been John Smiths from year 2.
If you buy from them please be aware that they do not stand by any description and quote terms and conditions after stating this vey fact, so do not believe a word of the descriptions as it may not be what you thought you were buying.
I’m about to set up a company selling authentic superstar autographs that I’ve just bought in bulk from China, but I’ll be covered as my terms and conditions will state that I’m not responsible or liable for any description.
Be warned as they are also not associated with any auction house trade bodies and have no escalation processes or qualms about maintaining any reputations
