Hanlin's Auction Service

Happy with experience and items that I won on. Interface through LiveActioneers was unreliable, but once I contacted directly quickly set up shipping option and had item before I knew it. Items were described accurately.

I recently took part in one "Hanlin's" Auctions, winning four Items in total. Although I've been collecting for over two decades, this was the first Hanlin's auction I've taken place in, and it left me blown away. The auction itself was perfect. This includes the items that were available, starting prices, and the auctions pacing. PERFECT. After the auction ended it didn't take long to get an invoice for the items won, and then followed by a shipping quote. The shipping prices were more than reasonable (keep in mind, one of my items was a sword). Now, was there a slight hick-up when I received my items? Yep. I had reached out to "Hanlin's" and they not only solved the issue, but kept in contact every step of the way. I think people forget life isn't perfect, mistakes can happen. I chose to not judge a mistake, but how it's handled. "Hanlin's" were complete professionals that showed nothing but kindness, responsiveness, and patience along the way. I wouldn't hesitate for even a second to do business with them again. Remember, a little patience and kindness goes far. Note: From one collector to another, auctions will have a "buyers premium." This is a certain percent that is added to the total amount you spend. This is an industry standard. Every auction I've ever participated in, here or anywhere else has had it. It is your responsibility as a buy to keep track of what you're spending, not the auction house or the seller. Example, If you spend $400 with a 25 % premium, your total will be $500 before shipping and any applicable tax. As far as "Hanlin's", even with the premium and fee's I paid, the total was far less for my items than if I purchased them anywhere else. Two of my items won, I had lost out on in the past on other platforms. Yet, I won theme here at a cheaper price. Another item won cost me 1/5 the price its listed as elsewhere. Again, I won't hesitate doing business with "Hanlin's" again and I look forward to participating in their next auction.

Before you bid on any items in Live Auction's. Check the payment method. And Shipping information before you bid. I prefer an Auction House that has PayPal and Shipping on small Items done in house. But some do not. Read before you bid. Hanlin's is a excellent Auction House.
