Today, I went to use HiBid to bid on some artwork, only to discover that Tom Hall Auctions…read moremaliciously flagged my account on the platform as "doesn't pay shipping." This is a completely false mark designed to damage my reputation as a buyer, despite them acknowledging their original failure to ship my items over a year ago. When I called to address this, "Catherine" was extremely unprofessional. She claimed she reported my review to Google to have it removed because my experience "wasn't valid," and openly admitted that my account was flagged on HiBid in retaliation for my feedback. She also falsely claimed it is illegal to name individuals in reviews. For the record, under the federal Consumer Review Fairness Act, consumers have the legal right to share truthful experiences without business retaliation or threats. I have formally reported this weaponization of buyer feedback to HiBid support, am submitting a complaint to the Better Business Bureau, and will be cross-posting my 1-star review to their Facebook page so other buyers are aware of these business practices. Here is my initial review: I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Tom Hall Auctions through the HiBid platform. I placed an order on October 28, and as of November 13, I have yet to receive any follow-up on the shipment of my items, despite numerous emails and voicemails. I do want to stress that the amount we spent was of higher $$$. So, you can understand our deep concern when we were not receiving ANY follow up to our questions on when items would be shipped... When I finally received a call from Paul at Tom Hall Auctions, he admitted they had not returned my messages and still had not shipped the items. He informed me that the shipping costs could be up to $1000 to $2000, which is outrageous. Due to the lack of communication and significant delays, I marked the transaction as fraud and reported my concerns to HiBid. Paul then got rather rude, stating he would report me to HiBid, which could prevent me from participating in future auctions, all without ever apologizing or attempting to make it right. He immediately went to "I'm going to report you" after acknowledging they made a mistake. I want to save people the headache of the unprofessionalism and wasting their money. This experience has been extremely frustrating, and the customer service from Tom Hall Auctions was unacceptable. HiBid has confirmed that they cannot block or delete my account and acknowledged that what Paul stated was very unprofessional. They have noted this incident for future reference and reached out to Tom Hall Auctions to emphasize that not returning phone calls and emails to customers is not appropriate. If you look at other reviews, the shipping charges and timely shipping is also noted to be horrible. I felt it important to let others know. Their excuses in prior responses stating that they list their auctions on multiple sites and get multiple views still do not give them the right to be unprofessional and not respond in a timely manner to people who purchased through their company. I would not recommend this auction company to anyone, especially if you value timely communication and professional service.

Tom Hall Auctions is one of only a few auction houses we do business with in the Lehigh Valley…read more They always have interesting auctions with a wide variety of collectible and antiques. Each online auction lot is well photographed and described, including pointing out any damage or other defect. Their buyer premium is reasonably priced. Pickup of items won is very easy since they have lots of open hours and don't require pickup appointments. All the staff I have met at Tom Hall are friendly and professional. Their warehouse is organized, clean and well-lit. They always say thank you and give the impression that they really do appreciate my business. I have recommended Tom Hall to other people and check their auction listings often.

Saucon Valley Auction Company has been one of my favorite auctions in the Lehigh Valley for many…read moreyears. I have purchased a number of items during that time and have always had a good experience. Their buyers premium is reasonable and they have a reputation for attracting a variety of estates and consignments, and you just never know what you'll see for sale. I like the convenience of online auctions and appreciate the care Saucon Valley takes in their photos and descriptions. They have always been reliable and honest with me and I have never been disappointed in anything I've purchased from them. Their locations for pickup are convenient and it's easy to make a pickup appointment since they use Shipping Saint. Staff is always pleasant, too. I purchase from Saucon Valley every month, sometimes several times a month, and recommend them to friends and family.

Quaker Antique Mall is tremendously huge ~ and just when you think you are close to seeing…read moreeverything they have to offer, there will be another hidden entrance to a whole other area you haven't even explored yet! But... disappointingly... we left empty handed. The prices here at the mall seem high. Albums, faux flowers/greens, comic books, toys, vintage home decor and also for sale is a small selection of new farmhouse decor. The inventory is quite the range of old, very old and new. Separated into little stalls, each unit is rented by a different seller and the presentation is beautiful. The staff at Quaker Antique Mall are helpful ~ however you are followed around a bit but I suppose they just want to make certain nothing is leaving the mall without money exchanged.

Traditional Antique Shop with a Twist! Great location and…read moreparking - friendly owners and vendors work in the shop to provide helpful, and knowledgeable service. The place is clean and well-lit. Each booth is a little shop on its own filled with unique and affordable treasures. In addition to a wide variety of antiques, collectibles, jewelry, toys, and glassware, they have decorative crafts, rustic furniture, vintage clothing and accessories. They even sell locally sourced honey at the front desk! It's a great place for serious and savvy collectors as well as "just browsing" treasure hunters looking for something "new" to feather their nest.

Collectors Bazaar is a mid-tier booth style antiques store located a few miles north of Quakertown,…read moredirectly off of PA 309. Customer parking is on the side with the digital billboard and dragon statue. One concern I would list, for anyone with mobility issues, there are stairs and smaller areas that could affect accessibility. Interior is clean and well presented with a good number of booths. This antiques store is well curated with a better selection of higher quality items compared to other booth style stores I've visited in the area. The selection of items such as stained/colorful glass, antique wood items, and old signage stood out to me. Due to Collectors Bazaars positioning as a mid-tier store, they have less toys, comic books, and trading cards then other stores. Staff were helpful and friendly. Overall, if you're in the Coopersburg/Quakertown area, and you like booth style antiques stores, Collectors Bazaar is worth a stop.

Collectors Bazaar does not disappoint ~ the entrance is fascinating with a few oversized and unique pieces of furniture. A few interesting wall hangings greeted us, alongside a display case filled with the coolest items. What a wonderful preview. Reasonable prices on most of the items here ~ though the vinyl records seem priced a little on the high side. It's a very large, clean store with plenty to shop ~ collectibles, jewelry, a limited inventory of farmhouse, garden chimes, stunning antiques. The staff at Collectors Bazaar are as super cool as their inventory ~ it's a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours even if you are not into the antiques scene.
