"Best variety of auctions; excellent customer service."

"My only criticism of LiveAuctioneers is that it's addictive! I've found incredible deals on rare and niche pieces of vintage furniture close to me that I wouldn't have found otherwise. A new way to find and shop for antiques, and WAY better selection than eBay, Etsy, or 1stDibs."

This is a fake company. And all the auction houses that work with it are very difficult to deal with and probably fake as well. They ask for your debit card and don't even give you options for shipping or details and all of their phone numbers or older disconnected. You actually bid against yourself.

Horrendous app. Been inundated with SCAMMERS since using the app. Also extremely high shipping costs in access of $400 for something that costs just $38 to ship to the UK with added charges for invoices you never asked for No refunds been given on the items won. Several emails asking for money hourly. Do not use

Many time you don't get approved to bid till it's to late. Most coins/bills go for way to much and can be found at local or online dealers cheaper. You never know shipping until after you win things. Waste of time and after you win a few things you realize you overspend. Soon as I receive the few things I won deleting this garbage.

Very slow. Takes a very long time to load. Notifications are late causing you to miss auction items. If you hit placr bid live, BEWARE! Load times may cause you to bid way higher than you intended as bids accumulate while your click loads. If you wait on it, often times it goes off without warning and sells under your feet for cheap. Someone is profiting from this app.

This app is frequently so slow that it doesn't work. I have lost bids because of the lagging, and that means I also lose sales and money. The other apps aren't so horrible that people won't use them if this isn't fixed. If too many sales are taking place at the same time and slowing down the system, you are going to have to assign time slots.

Will not accept credit card entries. I use several online auction sites. This is by far the worst set up app and online. To enter a bank account it want password information on that account. I'm not going to trust idiots that cannot even enter credit card information with my bank access. Please use different software developers that know what they are doing.

When it works, it's a great app. However, it crashes frequently. I'll click on a item and the screen goes blank or buffers forever. Fortunately it hasn't happened while I've been bidding. The only fix has been to uninstall then reinstall. Very frustrating.

I like a good auction but this app needs a confirm button. I accidently hit the bid button and won the auction for something I did not want. While the item up for bid was still open there was no way for me to retract the bid for the item before the item closed. I called the auction house and they'll take a return for a 20% restocking fee. OUTRAGEOUS for an app that does not have a way to confirm your bid like eBay just in case you hit the button on your phone on accident or a way to retract your bid when the item is still up for bids. DO NOT USE THIS APP or you'll be sorry you did.

This is worst app in the auction history. Liveactioneers has always has had issues with their site,and even though they have improved it over the years,this app is not showing images for the saved items,keeps glitching,and would not allow you to bid and would simply throw you out of the live auction,seconds after you join it . Would not recommend it at all

App has become useless. It's slow, disorganized, and now has stopped loading product images at all - seems like it's timing out trying to load because the main page/list of auctions doesn't even fully populate. I've cleared cache & data, un- & re-installed, and nothing has resolved. Just use the website.

This app used to be good. Or at least, it used to be actually functional. I'm not sure why but in the last month or so the app has completely fallen to pieces. No longer to list favourited items by Starting Soonest without it showing you EVERY item you've ever favourited - meaning you'll see a few dozen Sold items before seeing any upcoming ones. Notifications are broken as well so sometimes you'll miss items and be notified AFTER theyre sold. Bad app now, might as well just use the website.

After fees, buyer premiums, and inflated shipping costs, this turns out to be much much more expensive than eBay. Inwont be back.

Very glitchy. When I'm watching my saved lots it doesn't refresh even if I manually do it. It will say your item is 15 lots away then never change. I have to restart the app to refresh. Sometimes not all my favorites are in my saved lots so I will miss out on those item. Today only one auction of the two I had saved items in we're in my favorites and they were going off at the same time I had to jump around constantly. I sometimes watch over a 100 lots and it gets to be a pain in the...

The new updated app is poor and does not work like the previous app which was much better. The new app is unresponsive meaning you don't receive auction updates for the item that is being auctioned during the live auction. Even the "bid" button grays out and you can't place a bid nor do you know which item is up for auction as the app does not progress through the auction. This has gone on for over a month now since the app was updated with the new version. Please fix the problem. Thank you.

I have enjoyed using this site to buy items. I'd like a search option to search a specific Auction House as well as the entire site. Bid issues: Delays during an auction. Example: nothing going on for several seconds, then a sudden run of bids; or suddenly showing sold; or a new lot appears & my bid posts to the new lot instead of the the lot I was bidding on. Frustrating... also, when repeated messages post: Bid faster! Bid faster! Bid faster!

they appear to be advertising for more items than they actually have available for auction. There have been several occurances that I've bid on silver/gold/platnum which only recieved 1 bid (mine) that I lost suddenly, sold at almost double the value. I haven't bid on anything else, but their service is not worth pursuing for my purposes. I do not recommend it.

This functional app brings bidders together with a variety of online auction houses. The content is fairly organized but navigation isn't as intuitive as it could be, so these a learning curve of trial and error. There are a few annoying bugs and glitches - one such glitch persistently drags you backward as you try to scroll forward. Needless to say, progress is slow going for that feature, and it can be exasperating. All in all, while the app has its issues, it manages to get the job done.

Auctions live or online can be a great way to get the things you most desire for a reasonable or even lower price than you could get if you shop at your local antique store. They are highly stimulating and can be a bit addictive! Research your item, have a plan and have a limit in how much your willing to pay for the item. And don't forget, there is a buyer's premium that will be added on at the end as well as shipping & handling. THIS PARTICULAR APP is SLOOOW!! Which I find very frustrating.

Totally unreliable app. Worst every day. The list of auctions on the Calendar menu is in no order, takes long time to load and once it seems loaded, it won't stop changing while looking it up, making you get even more lost on the list. With perfect WiFi connection, your bids take long time, losing any chance to win anything. You're waiting for a lot to be live and suddenly it's already sold. I can now only bid with Live Auctioneers from my laptop, which is almost never. Uninstalling.

The site Works "quite well" for what it does and prompts are quickly completed. But, I have 4 complaints. I am only interested in 3'+ tall, bronze garden statues. For some reason, I get every bronze [not just statues] every size. Scrolling through everything, is time wasting. Some descriptions don't even include their size. It would be nice, if the size were included in the title line. Some sites, I can retract my bid and others no. Some sites provide shipping cost information, others do not.
