Her tone was condescending and dismissive, and the overall interaction made me feel unwelcome as a customer. Rather than being helpful, the attitude came across as unnecessarily unpleasant and unprofessional. Customer service plays a huge role in the overall experience, and unfortunately this interaction completely undermined what could have been a positive visit. There are many other places to shop where courtesy and basic respect are still part of the experience. I won't be returning.

This auction house has changed significantly over the years. In the past, auctions could last all…read moreday, with auctioneers actively engaging the crowd to drive bids higher. In the box lot area, there was even an auctioneer--an older man with a cane--who might spend 45 minutes or more on a single box. There was also a small kitchen where you could buy freshly cooked meals, which added to the overall experience. Today, the approach is very different. I see little to no online advertising for their auctions compared to other auction houses, aside from their website and a limited group they notify directly. Auctions now move quickly: items start low and end fast, with minimal effort to increase the final price. While this format can benefit buyers, sellers should be cautious. With the current pace and lack of active bidding, it is unlikely that items will achieve strong selling prices.

Even if you don't buy anything, it's worth the trip. Blaine is full of great stories. There is always at least a few items that surprise. The auctioneers do their best to get the most for their consignors but there are still bargains to be had (if you have knowledge and a little vision!). Definitely part of the week for which I always look forward. The people who work there are all a delight. Usually about 4 auctions going on simultaneously so you have to stay on your toes! J.

He is truthful and though you may want to be charmed more- he gives an honest estimation of what items will bring when you consign. He is rarely proved wrong.

Because COVID. (It's now 2025.) After digging through the whole website I found one sentence deep down on one page referring to the "live online" policy. This is what's known as gaslighting. Went because they had picked up some unique items, and to try them as I am looking for an insurance appraiser for some museum-quality antiques. Obviously it won't be this firm. To the consignor of the Kemble Bergdoll lots and other potential sellers, you're missing a bunch of bids from at least one serious collector due to their unprofessionalism. Consider this in context of many other comments here. Based on other responses I fully expect to be flamed and by the owner. This isn't how business works.

The ladies there who own it, are friendly and helpful. The young guys who help load into your car and such, are kind and helpful too. They offer delivery for those of you who buy a lot or need help with a larger vehicle. This is a really great touch. It's family-run and in addition to the antiques they also sell mulch out back. I drove past it the first two times I went because it comes up quickly and is somehow hard to see on Chester Pike there, but once you know where it is you'll do okay. Looking forward to my next trip. Just reviewing this place has me wondering what's new down there.

My mother and I had an excellent experience with Briggs as sellers of antiquities. My mom was…read moredownsizing into a smaller residence, and had to give up many precious antiques that she and her mother had collected for years. Everything that Briggs did to handle the estate was top-notch: from initial communication about the process and their pricing structure, to carefully packing and moving the items, to researching and assessing each piece, and finally, to selling the items with detailed, accurate descriptions, then providing a detailed list of what sold, for how much, and a check sent within a month of the last sale. Josie from Briggs was great both on the phone and over email (and in person, per my mom). My mom said she couldn't be happier with Briggs - even if some items didn't fetch as much money as we had hoped they would, we felt like everything was handled very professionally and fairly - and sometimes, antiques just don't go for as much as you'd think they would. It's a finicky market. Many thanks to Josie and the Briggs team for their outstanding professionalism and service!
