I understand the situations are different but through the years I have "returned" two items I have won. I put the word "returned" in parenthesis because one I never had in hand.
The first was with Heritage. They had a framed item that hid some small print that told me if the item was legit or not. I asked my questions and showed them another of the same item with the wording well before the auction was over and they replied that if I won the auction they would then take it out of the frame to examine. If the wording was present they would send it to me if not they would agree to not hold me to my winning bid. They took it out of the frame, the wording was not there, They still insisted the item was original, but true to their word they did not hold me to my bid. They later relisted it, noting the missing printed words, while still saying it was original. The second was a listing in a Lelands auctions with a number of photos. I forget the exact amount. Only a few photos were shown, but the listing stated that 30% were autographed. When I received the lot nowhere near 30% were autographed. I asked to return the lot and they agreed. As noted these are different circumstances than the OP asked about, but to say all sales are final etc. that is not always the case.

I will never bid or consign to them again.
The worst! REA is where it's at. Most in the hobby know this for buying or consigning. Dean and the REA crew are incredible! Peace, Mike |

Just to be fair, I have seen HA showed card damages (ceases) on an image taken by digital camera and they also provided images taken from scanner (not showing those ceases as much). Taking images using digital camera on a tilted angle makes a big diff..... just like Chris's Jordan brown Lenox

Last week I left 2 voicemails for Peter Calderon (on diff days) asking him to please call me as I have a coupe of questions about 2 different lots in today’s auction. He is their “grading expert”.
Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Zero. Now I won’t be bidding on either item. It has to make the consignor(s) proud! |

Back in the day when I could not reach a human to fix a cable TV problem, I called back and chose the option to buy more services. I got a person right away. Unfortunately, that doesn't work anymore either. Its almost all completely online or automated now. Its now a complete sh*tshow.

You'd have a better chance of landing an Israeli fighter jet in Tehran International Airport.

LOTG is also in that top-tier category... Nothing but great experiences on both the consigning and buying ends, always with honesty/integrity and no BS. |

And Sterling too.
I've also had good experiences with Clean Sweep, tho I have heard from others with troubled transactions.

I would love to see a list of all the Auction Houses. And to hear people's personal experiences. The good AND the bad. With all that is going on with my situation, I am tempted to just sell everything and leave the hobby. Would love to hear how these auction houses responded.

+1. Everything about REA is world class, especially their customer service. I had an issue recently in the realm of the OP's question and REA resolved it for me very quickly and professionally. The experience only further solidified them as my favorite big auction house, by far.

I’ve been buying & consigning through REA for over 25 years.
By far and away the #1 auction house to deal with. |
