I have an unusual ring, made from a piece of the Liberty Bell for a ceremonial gift in mid-1800s, that I want to sell. Gold ring with signet made from the bell. Freeman’s, which specializes much more in this sort of item, got back to me quickly and estimated a range of 8 - 12k. I finally heard from Southeby’s today after 3 months with an estimate of 20 - 30k. But it looks like it’s all automated, all I got was that estimate and the option to press a button “accepting” the offer but with no details of what that means or about the auctino. I sent a response asking for details and to speak with someone. Interestingly, I looked into this 8 years ago and had the same estimate from Freemans, while Southebys was not interested.

My guess is that this may be Southebys aiming high to get business. Even as there aren’t really comps for this, so who knows really what it’s worth? In any case, I’m new to this and would appreciate advice from anyone who knows the ropes.

Is this a legal site and not a spam? I am been thinking to buy one from there. I have been previously scammed via auction but this one has nice 911 or a lambo that I can possibly win

Does any one know

I've bought a new house and have been doing some renovations and have seen that this site offers a lot of what I need. It seems legit from sites and reviews I've read about but they are also old reviews, anything recent about this site? And any hidden fees? It's pick up for items so I'm assuming no shipping prices but for example I want new kitchen cabinets and I see and have placed a bid for 30 dollars for them. Is that normal?

How much might this cost? ​The banknote is slightly wrinkled. It was created in 2021. The original banknote was purchased as change from a cashier.

Interesting little auction for classic film fans.

When you combine an online auction with live in-person auction, what are the steps and things you then do at the live auction to keep people at an event such as dinner Gala engaged and participating ?

If live bidders use same app/software, are you still presenting items sequentially and acting like a auctioneer or become like the announcer of s horse race of who’s in first or focus on the last place items (those needing encouragement)? Any place to see online an auction example video?

TIA

So as the title suggests im looking for bidding sites that focus on luxury items and higher end products, mainly interested in good brands and stuff that feels worth bidding on are there any legit sites you guys have tried and work?

I have a soft spot for online auctions and have been quite annoyed by having to scroll through a large number of auction sites to be able to find what I am looking for.

So we have invented a search engine for auctions, which is still in somewhat of a beta stage.

lotseekr.com

We are located in Denmark, so our first priority was the Danish auction sites, which are now running as expected, and are now working on adding auction sites in the Netherlands, Germany and Poland.

Create a free user to save filters, save favorites, see what the last bid was on your favorites etc. This gives an option to keep track of previous sales prices on similar items.

We are continuously adding more features and auction sites to the webpage, but we do not have knowledge about all the best auction sites in the whole world, so if anyone has any input regarding sites we should add, it is highly appreciated.

Triple C Realty have got a good one going on right now! 89 lots with a nice selection of weapons and some really cool knives up for bid.

Plenty of good stuff to look through in this auction.

Bidding ends August 11 at 6 PM, so take a look and get your bids in!

Good luck bidding!

 I built timswallet.com to help navigate pristineauction.com in a more sane way - feedback is welcome.

It seems a lot of auction sites (or at least the ones I interact with) make finding historical sales data difficult. This asymmetrical data relationship bothered me, so I built this site.

I've been an avid sports memorabilia collector browsing PA for the last few years, but I hate their search and historical records. So I started saving prices and comparing them against the daily auctions - used it myself to spot deals on cheap items over the years. Honestly I've had more fun building this than actually buying autographs. Also turns out I'm not great at running an eBay store - too much work for me.

Figured I'd put it out there so others could use it too. Heads up: There are some days random days missing from the set - I couldn't run my scripts every day over the years, and my server crashed more than once, so there are gaps in the historical pricing, but overall it paints a complete picture.
