    I bid and won a purse for $32.50. The title was, "Marked Couch Purse". They posted one picture of…read morethe outside of the purse. Since it said "Marked", I trusted it had the marking label on the inside, as all authentic Coach purses do. When it arrived, the purse was CLEARLY a fake. No marking and a PU, not leather, strap. I had purchased an authentic designer purse from them last month, so I felt it was just a mistake...maybe a new employee assessing the merchandise and creating the listing. Not the case. I was offered as a one time courtesy to send the valueless purse back for a refund, but would not be refunded buyers cost or shipping to me. Basically, I would be re-couping 12 bucks (shipping back to them would be at least $20) and they have the purse to list again to fool someone else. It was not marked. They flat out lied. Dude went on and on how they use the word "marked" to mean something different then everyone else in the estate/auction business. And on and on about how I should have called them with questions. What? Was I to call them, an auction house, and ask what their definition of "marked" is? After I wouldn't accept his BS, he offered a partial refund without me having to send the trash bag back. I told him to keep his little money; my pride is not for sale. What is wrong with people?

    The designer mark is a leather label that should be below the zipper, on the inside pocket.

    This auction house clearly doesn't do its homework. They treat original artwork like dorm room…read moreposters--slapping on lowball estimates without consulting the artist or their representing galleries. It's lazy, irresponsible, and damaging. Selling a piece for less than a tenth of its actual value doesn't just shortchange the seller--it actively undermines the artist and the integrity of the market. Any reputable operation would pull those works and advise the owner to donate them to a museum or charity. At least then, they'd receive a proper tax deduction and preserve the value of the work. Instead, this is just sloppy and short-sighted. Shame.

    My experience has more to do with the selling aspect than the buying aspect. I recently sold a…read morevery valuable painting at Charlton Hall and the experience was quite pleasurable. I first want to talk about their pricing. I looked at Sotherby's and Christie's and shipping the painting to NY City. With shipping costs, expensive photographing fees, and huge commissions I decided to take my chances with Charlton Hall. My painting fit their repertoire. My painting was sold in the September 2011 auction, and went for what my personal research early in the game was predicting. Rebecca and Kinga were very helpful and willing to take the time to explain how comparables/prices are listed at other auction houses. They were not pushy and easy to work with. Their marketing is global via the internet (like the NYC auction houses). Every aspect of the auction was in effect during the sale of my painting. There was a bidder on the phone, on the internet, and one sitting right next to us. To the "mike d." entry: I have never tried to bid via the internet, but Charlton Hall is not an eBay (Fun Fact: owners of PayPal). The auction house functions more like a traditional auction. In business you like to stick with what you are good at, and Charlton Hall aims to represent a more upscale reputation than maybe a normal online bidding site. This is not intended to be an insult to eBay, it's just a different business model. With that said, they deal in cash, the safest form of payment. I am not sure where you live, but bidding on items in person is a great experience. To anyone selling, who wants to maximize value, I recommend doing your own research and spending time doing your own marketing. While an auction house will take care of their marketing and the sale of your item, it's good to reach a more selective group.

    Have you ever wondered what happens to the merchandise Dollar General or Big Lots does not want?…read more Have you ever wondered where you can get a tazer for cheap? A Dale Earnhardt lamp? A six pack of lighters? A random assortment of completely unnecessary leather goods? If so, boy do I have a place for you! Pop's Auction is local color extraordinaire. It is located off of Southport Road next to the Bingo hall. Open Thursday through Friday nights. This is redneck livin' at its finest and it is an actual auction. It's not cars or livestock or Sotherby's; what it is is a bunch of random shit that comes from God only knows where and now it is all here to buy. We walked away with Scarface air fresheners, key chains, packs of M&Ms, safety goggles, and more. We ate corn dogs and split a can of Coke. We shook our heads at all this..... stuff. They accept cash and checks. We also like the fact that there is a donation box for the Shriner's hospital for kids' toys and goods. Several items that went up for auction were actually put in the box. If you want a show, folks, this is cheaper than the movies. Even if you have that uneasy feeling and hear dueling banjos- it will subside as someone shines a 10,000 candle light power flashlight in your eye and tells you to buy some purdy nice stuff!

    I enjoyed every minute I were at the auction and plan to return regularly. I brought a lot of good…read morethings.... If you want to do something on the weekend this something good to do!
