Very simple process from start to finish and my bottle sold for 20% more than the valuation that Whisky Hammer gave me. I won't hesitate to use them to sell any other bottle in the future.

Dropped off whisky bottles as local to me.
Waited for auction to end and the proceeds were transferred within the week.
I would use again if I had any un-opened whisky bottles to sell!

Good communication
Good communication! Very helpful company who steered me, a complete novice, through the system. A very pleasing result for me!
Buyer Beware 5cl miniatures start at £20
I ended up buying a 5cl bottle of whiskey at a cost of £37 with postage delivery etc. Yes I’m a silly old fool but there was the same 70cl bottle for sale with free miniature bottle so I didn’t check the detail when bidding assuming that a respectable auction would not list something at such a high price (£20 min bids) I contact the customer care who less than helpful supported the seller and not the buyer with the usual my fault etc.
and re the response, evidence that they value miniatures (or any lot) at £20, surely placing items on an auction at a starting bid way in excess of their value is in my opinion unethical.

The team did an excellent job assisting me in preparing my whisky for auction, resulting in a satisfying sale price. They offered convenient and complimentary pickup for six bottles, and collaboratively planned an effective approach to maximize profits. The commission rates were fair, adding to a great overall experience. Well done, everyone!
