This auction house forces you to use shipping companies that charge an absurd amount. For a small 50$ USD item I was charged over 100$USD to have it shipped. Definitely avoid if you can.

Antique Arena is the most dishonest auction house I have ever experienced. I have twice bid for items through the-saleroom.com and been the winning bidder only to be dishonestly told that I had been outbid by the auction house. Then a few months later the same items come up and the same thing happens again. One item i was after came up five times and supposedly sold five times. If you contact Antique Arena they just lie to you. These people are crooks and con-men. I will be taking legal action against them.

Having complained to the Antique Arena auctions they cancelled my winning bids a day after the auction despite their legal obligation to honour them.

I purchased two paintings and several vases from Antique Arena and had a great experience. The process was smooth, and I was able to pick up the items myself without any issues. The best part is that I got everything at a very reasonable price. I’m really happy with my purchase and wish the company continued success!

What a fantastic company ordering was so easy on line .i ordered on Monday and received my item by Thursday and as described I’m and very happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend.
I jus5 like to say a big thank you and the war is regards

I brought a signature for over 1000$ and their shipping company "discarted It"
This shipping company wanted to charge me 500$ for the shipping.

Thankfully they have said that I can keep the low quality picture I have received.

The company doesn't make the minimum effort to check if the items it sells are fake, Fake items are crudely referred as originals!

Fraud!!! $51,200 ANTIQUE ARENA AUCTIONS

I purchased a David Hockney – Paper Pools original lithograph from Antique Arena on 22nd April 2023. I paid $51,200 including fees. Instead of receiving an original lithograph that was described in their catalogue. I received a photocopy of the original where the numbering, signature and dry stamp have been forged. Realising the sent item was forged I took the item to Bonhams auction house in London who confirmed it was a reproduction and not an original.

DO NOT DEAL WITH ANTIQUE ARENA AUCTIONS!!!

In reference to my other review on Trustpilot, the story continues: In july 2020 I won an item in a different auction house, but a "technocal error" gave highest bidder to someone else. Frustration and anger, but no other explanation from the auction house. In july 2021, one year later, the very same item comes up for auction and again I win. Or so I thought: When the shipping company came to pick up the item, it was "apparently lost". "So sorry, full refund etc". WHAT ARE THE ODDS ? I have no delicate words for my disappointment and frustration regarding LiveAuctioneers and associates, in this case Antique Arena Inc. The entire matter is as surreal as it gets and furthermore I get no detailed information. Think twice when dealing with these "auction houses". You might never se the item you have won...!
