Disgusting company who made a mistake and blamed us. Thousands of lots purchased a year at auction. Wouldn't recommend this company to anyone and we have dealt with most of them.
I sold some rare photographs worth hundreds through this auction house with no issues. Seems to me that all the poor reviews relate to buyers who have purchased a box of stuff without knowing what it... See more
I’m an experienced buyer that purchases hundreds of lots per week from various auctioneers. William George had a lot that stated in the terms it could be collected, which appears to be a mistake... See more

Hi Vasile, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. There can unfortunately be a bit of a risk when buying customer returns that you do not know what is inside or the condition of how the original customer returned the items. I'm really sorry to read you are disappointed. If we can help with anything else, please let us know.

Masters in Customer Support
Apart from product the best thing any company can offer is excellent customer service and William George have this in abundance. Those at front of house respond to any queries I may have almost immediately with polite professional responses with a bit of humanity thrown in. A lot of smaller companies and larger ones for that matter could learn a lot just by taking a leaf out of the William George book. Faultless. Hannah my fee is in the post and looking forward to spending my 10 zillion pounds :) x

Brilliant auction house
Very impressed with this auction house. They dealt with all my questions/concerns most competently and professionally.
I have no doubts about bidding on-line with them again and would recommend them to anyone wanting to buy from an auction.
