Quality Personalization

It is always nice when you find yourself working with helpful, knowlegeable and accomodating people. Government Auction always offers this high quality of personalization in meeting the various needs and quirks of its many clients. In todays electronic age where most companies rely on impersonable computer programs to assist clients, I've found Government Auction to be a direct person to person contact. This person to person contact makes purchasing a seamless operation where if a conflict arises it is quickly resolved saving the client time and any aggravation they might feel. For me it's easy to recommend a service which continually displays this high quality of personalization.

Total scam

Total scam. Stay far away from them and do not send them any money. I am still waiting for my refund and have filed a dispute against Governor auction through PayPal. They claim they refunded my money. But it's listed as pending on my PayPal account now for 5 days.

word “Government”

When a word “Government” or United State Government seal used. It’s expected to deal with government unconsciously. Unless would be a crime. How the government let any company use their name when we all truthfully live under this seal?! I request the law to pay attention to this issue to not let any to use these terms to misleading the citizens or people. Thanks.

DECEPTIVE BUSINESS AND SCAM

I personally do not recommend Government Auction to anyone. Be advised that some, if not most jewelry come from a "wholesaler" at wholesale price.

The jewelry that they claim is certified and appraised is exaggerative. For example, Government Auction has a certificate appraisal on a ring of $2000, but in reality, the price is $100 from a wholesaler. I won a few pieces of jewelry from them and after further investigation, I have returned all items. I have yet to receive my refund from them after following return instructions.

Also, if you pay through PayPal and open a dispute, make sure you keep the dispute open until you receive the refund! Government Auction will tell you that in order to receive a refund, you will need to close the case.

I was advised by PayPal not to close the dispute until you receive the refund. Please do not do business with them, they're are a complete scam and shady business.
