Live bidding or leaving bids available. Very attractive and varied array of lots available. Estimates generally were not high. Catalog online with pics and descriptions. Questions readily and cheerfully answered by phone. They dropped off my prints at a local shipper, and the professionally boxed carton arrived the next morning. Very pleasant experience !

Worst auction house ever. I bid on-line on an item at $225, 12 hours before the actual auction was…read moreto take place. Then, the next day, I logged on to see if I had won. I was so excited because South Bay said the winning bid was $225! When I called the house to pay for my prize, they said they had given it to someone on the floor for the same price. I said, "Wait, how did someone on the floor beat my bid at the same amount when I was the first bid at $225 a whole day before? They said, it's easier to collect from someone on the floor than someone online... What? Then, to add insult to injury, they said "If you had only left a bid for $25 more, you probably would have won." On-line bidders, pass this company up.

Reading these comments makes me only shake my head. Your stuff is rarely valuable. People are…read moresentimental and refuse to hear the truth about its realistic price. Whether eBay, Craig's list, FB marketplace, etc., most people have no idea how to price and that is why a liquidator is necessary. Take your items when purchased. Tip someone carrying out furniture.

Thos. Cornell Galleries is an auctioneer of fine antiques. I have found them to be honest and…read moreprofessional people who operate their business with a high degree of integrity. The reason for my low review rating is this. I purchased from one of their auctions through Live Auctioneers and when it was time to ship the item I was turned over to the local UPS store which has ruinous, predatory rates. Obviously, Cornell Galleries is soliciting auction business from far away and encouraging people in other states to bid on their items through the Live Auctioneers system. We have no way to retrieve the items except to have them shipped. With the local shippers, the shipping charge is likely to be more than the cost of your rare, antique item, even if it is small and easy to ship. The profit margin of these shipping stores has now reached the stratosphere. Unfortunately, I can no longer do business with this fine auction house if my only option for shipping is to be raped by the local UPS store. Please consider in-house shipping, and I will be back.
