Wow! Who knew Arizona had such an amazing memorabilia store. This place is absolutely huge! If you…read moreare looking for an autographed piece of memorabilia you will probably find it here. They have a wide variety of autographed media. Sports, movies, bands as well as historical autographed pieces, this is my go to local business for autographed gifts. Autographed items come with a COA from industry leading authentication experts such as Beckett Authentication Services, PSA/DNA, and James Spence Authentication. Today I purchased two Christmas gifts. A Taylor Swift autograph framed piece of memorabilia for my daughter and a Shaquille O'Neal autographed jersey for my son-in-law. I truly do enjoy purchasing from CBU Auctions and have done so for the past eight years. I first stumbled across them when the Majestic Movie Theater was called the Alamo. They had a display table in the lobby of the theater that featured autographed memorabilia. My husband is a huge 49ers fan so we bid on a Jerry Rice Helmet and won it. That's when I found out not only do I get a wonderful certified piece of autographed memorabilia at a great price, but a portion of the proceeds go to a reputable charity. It just doesn't get any better than that. You can still find their memorabilia in Majestic theaters. You can also make purchases online. In one of my pictures below, you can see a screenshot of their home page. At the top of the screenshot, you will see their email address. https://store.cbuauctions.com. Thank you to CBU Auctions and their wonderful staff for always providing reputable products and fantastic service!

For…read morethe past 15 or so years here in Phoenix I have purchased from and done business with several different auction houses. Honestly some have business pratices that are questionable at best. But, I have nothing but positive to say about Bradford's Auction Gallery. I have, in the past, purchased several items through them. Recentl,y I had the pleasure of submiting an item for a civic organization of which I am a Board member, for them to sell for us. The experience was incredibel! Great commuction as to exactly when and how the item was to be sold. All emails from me were answered promptly. All questions were answered in detail. This is truly a well run, ethical business that I hope to do more business with - both buying and selling - in the future.

Upon receiving the unit, I was extremely saddened that whilst the unit was indeed powering on, the output sadly was not producing any tone. To my great pleasure, Matthew from A.C.E.S. was super professional about it & offered to either refund me and I could return it, or they would help facilitate the repair. The latter is what ended up occurring, and even though it took many months longer than expected for the W2 to come back fully functional, but when it did, Matthew indeed made good on his word to reimburse me for the repair work done (by another amazing company, local synth wranglers "Bell Tone Synth Works" (if you are a synth person in the tri-state area, they are the *best*) Anyways, would 100% buy another weird music item or other oddity from A.C.E.S. in the future.

I did an online bid at their recent 3-day auction. I put in pre-bids on several items I was…read moreinterested in, including Native Art, pottery, paintings and some pistols, a rifle and shotgun. I did win many of the items I bid on and lost a couple due to higher bidders, as expected in an auction. My wife and I went up to pick up the items and I got delayed on the gun applications, which was sort of expected with an election going on. I looked at all the items and they were exactly as represented and actually I was pleasantly surprised with the condition as it met or exceeded the pictures and description. As to the prices, they were really fantastic and because I read the fine print, I knew there was a percentage fee to the Auction House for online bidding. The fees are standard and expected, so I was aware of them and still adding them in to the prices I got really excellent deals. I would buy from Reata with complete confidence. The staff were extremely helpful and positive, we discussed some upcoming auctions early next year and I look forward to placing some bids on some really great stuff. If you are looking for art, or modern or antique weapons and so much more you should check out Reata and if you are like me, local, go in and see all the cool stuff they have and talk to their very helpful staff.

The actual piece is clearly marked as a form of callotype from an ink jet printer basically. When this was brought to their attention they claimed the description is accurate because they use the words photographic print.

Can't trust an auction house that does this

As I knew he would do eventually because he does it with almost every one-star review (there are so…read moremany of them!), Bo Patrick came along and whined that he had somehow been mistreated by clients deeply unhappy with his service. Our contract with Fidelity stated that the sale would include artwork. It did not specify oil paintings. We did ask Fidelity to auction artwork, and all the artwork we wanted to offer for sale was photographed weeks ahead of the auction by Fidelity's employees or agents. To be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. In his reply to my original review, Bo claims that "The day before the auction [my family] removed $20,000 in artwork and now you are upset because we charged you a commission to do that but that's exactly what the contract allows us to do." First of all, it's quite a shock to read that we owned artwork worth $20,000, because that's not what Bo told us at the time. He gave us a much more modest assessment of the paintings' value. Second, regardless of the worth of the paintings, that is not what happened. I don't know if Bo's memory is so poor that he cannot recall the events of his sale with us, if he is so lazy that he did not bother to check the facts, or if he is sufficiently deficient in honesty that he doesn't care about the facts. But his account is wrong. Bo knew that the oil paintings would not be for sale. We had a Zoom meeting with him and Kelsee more than three weeks before the auction in which he tried to persuade us to let Fidelity sell the oil paintings and our father's home; thank God we never seriously entertained the idea of letting him sell the house. But we told him immediately after the Zoom meeting that we had decided against selling the oil paintings. When Bo originally talked to us about the paintings, he wanted to have an online auction, so that people all over the world could bid on them. But that never happened, because we told them weeks ahead of time that the oil paintings would not be included. Again, to be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. You cannot believe anything Bo says. He whines that he "had buyers from all around Arizona and other states drive-in for those paintings.... When they arrived, they were very upset with us as an Auction firm.... You affected our reputation that day big time." But if Bo had people traveling from out of state to bid on items we told Bo were not for sale and did not let Fidelity photograph or advertise for the auction, well, that sounds very suspect to me. It is by no means our fault if Bo advertised for sale things he knew would NOT be for sale. We did not affect his reputation--HE did. If people were upset with him that day, it is entirely his fault. Bo won in our lawsuit against Fidelity not because the contract let him charge a commission (the judge agreed that it was a very badly written contract and did not redound to Bo's favor) but because, as I stated before, at the hearing, the judge allowed one and only one witness to speak: Bo's partner Kelsee Wirtjes. Please read my original review to see what happened next. In the time since I posted my original review, Fidelity has received two more five-star reviews, but three more one-star reviews. Their previously poor rating is even worse now--and it's entirely their own fault. The crucial point remains the one with which I concluded my original review: Why would you hire an estate sale company who is so disliked by most people who have hired it? Learn from our mistakes. Stay away from Bo Patrick. Don't believe his unctuous denials. However much he tries to shift the blame for his bad reviews to the people foolish enough to hire him, the fact nonetheless remains that most people who hire him to run an estate sale are extremely unhappy with his services.
