In the grand tradition of Ron Popeil, Fog City Auctions is truly a "Set it and forget it" shop…read more Andrew is able to provide a one stop location for your auction needs. He is able to take your items, research the current market value and provide a strategy to get the most value for your treasures. From managing the listing time, auction type, starting price point, and managing offers as received, he provides an end to end whirlwind of eBay jujitsu. I have used other auctions sites before (because I am essentially useless on listing eBay items myself), and Fog City Auctions is my go to from now on. Pros: - Full service site (handles research, listing and relisting if needed, payments, shipping, insurance, and manages any customer issues) - Responsive and patient (it is like working with a close friend who values your time and money) - Fair prices - Experienced staff Cons: - None yet!!! Do yourself a favor; clean out your closet, contact Fog City Auctions, and get $$$$ for your unused/old/collectible/unique items today!

He's great about responding to phone calls or emails promptly. He likes to price items higher, at least at first, and then lower them if necessary after a while. I had unusual items, many Asian or handcarved, and approximately half of them have sold. I recommend Fog City Auctions to anyone looking to get rid of any good stuff for the best price. He's absolutely great to work with!

For the past 50 years I have collected Chinese ceramics and other small objects…read more I am always looking to upgrade my collection. So, you can imagine my pleasure at finding an auction house where I could sell some pieces and maybe purchase some others. Mistake! I am not Asian. They did not allow me to walk more than 5 steps into their establishment. At that point a very polite little man blocked my way and a young woman in frayed jeans was brought out to deal with my unwelcomed intrusion into the shop. BTW the door was open. When I told the young woman that I have a collection of antique Asian ceramics, she gave me a look that even offended me... and I am from NYC! Unless you call for an appointment they do not wish to speak to you. Also their commission is 25% on all sales under 4000.00USD... You can do MUCH better than that. BTW. I was well dressed and groomed with jewelry. Sad!!!

It looked like it could have had some nice stuff, but the new location doesn't have a showroom. The owner reached out to me.

You may want to make periodic stops at the SF Art Exchange where you can see some rock n' roll-related art whether they be paintings, photos or illustrations. The gallery is just across the street from the Curran and ACT on Geary. Right now through April 4, they have a nice gallery of photos taken by Ethan Russell of the Rolling Stones' 1969 U.S. tour including the notorious Altamont concert where four people were killed. But they always have cool stuff there, even for non-acidheads. It'll like blow your mind. LSD anyone? Doot-in' doo-doo...Feelin' groovy.

Stop paying retail prices for marked up items. If you enjoy antiquing, why not pay 1/2 the price…read moreyou would spend at a boutique storefront? The gorgeous rings I looked at could easily be sold at retail for $8k and above. Here they start at auction in the $1,500 - $2,000 range. Bonhams offers much more than old jewelry paintings and furniture. There are modern design sales, vintage toys, historical arms & armor, writing tools, rug sales and much much more. Every item listed for sale can be viewed in the print or online catalog, or examined during the preview hours at the warehouse. Usually a day or two before auction day. The department specialists are on hand to answer questions about value, condition and provenence. This is an easy, more cost effective way of buying what you truly desire, without going to the mall, craigslist or the antique store.

Terrible company. They sometimes have nice items in their auctions but beware- they don't stand…read morebehind their sales. I bid on and won a native american bowl from them in December 2023. They sent me an invoice for the bowl, shipping and their description "all risk, door to door" insurance for the bowl. I paid it in full, It arrived in January 2024- in 20-30 broken pieces. I figured no problem- named company and their shipper and insuror. Boy was I wrong- their position- zero responsibility. We'll keep your approximately $5000 and you can keep the shards- and their guarantees and insurance don't apply. Why did they sell, and I take insurance ? They seem to prefer send the items off in commerce and if they happen to get there OK then fine, but if they don't they will just keep saying NO. Unless you can pick up locally in LA, NYC or London- don't do business with these scammers!!

On the first and third Wednesdays of each month you can bring five items to be appraised for free. I had heard about this from a friend. Unfortunately the five items that I had would be considered far from valuable. This did not stop me from emailing her with a few other items I have at home. Perhaps I'll have better luck with these other items not pictured here. She was very professional and candid.

Gave me his thoughts and was kind and informative. Tammie was my main contact and was also extremely helpful. She explained the process and I went ahead and had them list some items for me to sell in the auction. I also bought some items from them at an auc. I learned a lot about bidding on items! It was a first for me and will be doing it again! I should mention the other folks who helped but I did not save the cards. So I will say everyone was stellar. If you are someone who is looking to sell or buy I would highly recommend them!

However, the parking situation can be quite tedious when arriving after 10am. The entrance fee varies based on the time you come in, with the most expensive being when they open at 6am ($20). My family and I got there around 11am and it was a $10 entrance fee. They do allow re-entries so long as you get a handstamp before exiting. Today was my first time visiting and I was taken aback by how pricey a lot of items were - especially the clothing. Many were priced higher than new items. The food vendors present were underwhelming. We had Donna's Tamales and it was quite bland and overpriced. They charged me $18 for 2 corn chili tamales. My husband and I had hoped to find some items for our new spot, but left empty handed. Not sure I will be back for how marked up the items were.
