J. James Auctioneers & Appraisers

Great place to buy as I was able to purchase some rare military artifacts at a very reasonable price! Will be sure to keep an eye on future auctions.

Very knowledgeable and helpful…love this company whenever I need them for an appraisal or go to an auction

5 star review

I have consistently had a fine experience dealing with this company--items are well researched and presented, and the staff are very helpful with inquiries.The photography and descriptions with their online catalog is superb, making an assessment of a lot much easier remotely than it might be otherwise. It is evident that they take the customer seriously and from what I can discern go the extra mile to do the best job possible for their consigners. I would recommend this auction highly, and without reservation.

Had terrible experience and will never buy from them again. Won a Prussian sword that they listed as good condition. False listing. They hand guard was broke and the handle that connects to blade loose. They do not have in house shipping and cost me $107 to ship. The sword was only $125. Normally cost $50 to ship with other in house auction houses. Then the don't take credit cards were most auction houses do without a fee. So I went through Live Auctioneers. Now J. James would return but not at their cost. Even when it was their fault. So I'd be out $107 and around $50-$60 to return. That's not right or fair. When I talked with them they were rude and went so far to give me advice on fixing it. I don't want their broken sword. Also beware of Live Auctioneers. Sent in a help request on this and has been three weeks with no reply. Terrible customer service. I have tried to contact them many times with my reference number but nothing. Now may have to dispute with my bank. Not right with these two places that I have to go that far. I will also discontinue with Live Auctioneers also. Very upsetting and hassle. Stay away from these bad places. Their response is not true. An employee called Josh was yelling at me on the phone and had to ask him many times to stop. He admitted someone else did the describition and did not deny the problem with sword. He kept going around in circles about their shipping policies when I mentioned was expensive. He stated I should deal with other houses then. Which I said I do and will. Was very rude to talk with and the only bad word I used was bull. I'm a disabled Vet and was treated horribly. The only option they gave me was to return it at my expensive. When I mentioned it already cost me $107 to ship the sword and they should pay for that too plus the return shipping He went wild on me. Keep going on and on and yelling. That's when I said bull it was your fault with listing and I shouldn't have to pay for return. I am a decent soft spoken person and don't use foul language. I should not have to pay more for the sword to return it than it's worth. Which was $125. They would not work with me on the return. That was their only option. Not many. Their more concerned about themselves than the customer. I even mentioned that! Hey I'm the customer here but no reaction.

I had a fantastic experience with J. James Auctioneers & Appraisers They were incredibly knowledgeable and thorough in appraising my coin and jewelry collection. I felt they were fair and honest, and I was very pleased with the value they provided. Highly recommend Josh and his team"

I recently had the pleasure of working with J James Auctioneers and Appraisers, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the initial consultation to the final appraisal, their professionalism and expertise were outstanding. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the items I brought in, and they took the time to explain the appraisal process thoroughly. I felt completely confident in their evaluation. Their communication was excellent, and they were very responsive to all my questions. If you're looking for honest, reliable, and highly skilled auctioneers and appraisers, I wholeheartedly recommend J James.They exceeded my expectations in every way!

Auction house misrepresented an item in writing that I bid on and won. I would have never bid on the item had the item been correctly and accurately represented. This has caused a lot of time to be wasted and been a very disappointing experience. I have also yet to receive a timely and full refund of all the monies I paid from the auction house.
