Do not recommend!
Garth’s was slow to ship the item after payment was made. Then UPS lost the item (obviously not Garth’s fault). A claim was filed with UPS, and even though Garth’s states a refund from UPS is coming, Garth’s refuses to refund me MY money until they receive THIERS. It is now two full months since the original purchase was paid, yet I have neither my item nor the refund due me. There is zero appearance of a first time customer being of any value and as such I will NOT use their services again.

George, Your experience with us is not at all the norm and we regret terribly you feel undervalued. However, we have never refused to refund your money and it is always our goal to resolve these matters to our customers satisfaction. The problems surrounding lost packages are often challenging (and things have been extra crazy given the holiday shipping nightmares across the US that companies and individuals faced in December 2020). We are simply following UPS protocols and are stuck within their timeline as follows: 1. Report the Missing Package (it was shipped 11/30, reported missing the following week, and searches can take up to 1-2 weeks after that); 2. UPS Authorizes the Claim; 3. Document Review. 4. UPS Pays the Claim to us. 5. We pay you. Now, the GOOD NEWS-UPS admitted fault and the claim is in process of step 4. We expect to receive payment from UPS soon and get same out to you ASAP. Again, we appreciate the 2-stars given the circumstances and are grateful you realize that the lost package situation is not Garth's fault. We also understand your clear frustration. We hope you will reconsider choosing to work with us again once you have the refund and the dust settles from this unfortunate scenario.

The auction closed on Sunday and the item was delivered in New York on Wednesday. And the item was as represented. Doesn't get better than that.

Expect evaluation of items, well packaged and a no hassle experience
First time dealing with this auction house and I’m very pleased with my experience. Things were well represented with any flaws noted. Items arrived well packaged and in excellent shape. Shipping times were better than other auctions I’ve purchased from. Good experience.

Arranging Shipment
I have been dealing with Garths for years & generally are happy with their auction items. Some of the items go higher than I would like, probably because they have a large following from their well known reputation. However, my issue is their shipping. I live out of state & I would prefer that they would pick out the shippers for my items or items and arrange the shipment. Instead of having to go down their list of shippers and pick out one. An example: I just went thru was I had a couple items oversize; who out of that list do I call for shipping? I picked out say shipper A, after two days they told me they could'nt ship cause of the size. Ok, now I; ve got too pick out another shipper. Its christmas time things are hectic for me as it is and I know Garths want these items removed from their facility, Pressure and inconvenience which I dont need at this time of year Fortunately I found a shipper that will ship my larger items... I work with a few auction houses and they have shippers ready. You pick out and the auction houses take care of the rest. The shipper calls you when ready to ship... No hassles especially when youre out of town or state, Then when you do find that shipper for garths item, you have to call garths for releasing the item. Too much inconvenience, I would hope they might take their cue from other auction houses and do what they do as far as shipping policy.

A most professional operation.
Bidding online through Live Auctioneers made the process easy. I bid on one lot only so I did not need to spend the afternoon in front of the computer. When I was sent the invoice, I called their office and indicated I would pick the item up myself to save shipping charges and the necessity of contracting a shipper. When I arrived, the office staff was most courteous and brought the item to my car. I shall follow Garth for future sales.
