Would avoid dealing with this company. They misrepresented one of the listings I purchased. I reached out to them and didn't even ask for them to refund the purchase but just asked for them to resell the item and they didn't even bother responding. Why would you deal with a company like this when there are so many better options around? Avoid at all cost. I should mention that I am experienced with purchasing from auction houses and have purchased hundreds of items over the last 2 decades from various auction houses so have plenty of experience dealing with auction houses and this was one of the worst experiences I've had. Pick another auction house to deal with.

I regret working here. The owner directly slandered consignors to me and slandered his staff including his own family. And has stolen and/or lost and/or destroyed my property and ghosted me. The attorney said I waited too long. I had let the owner gaslight me into waiting. About a year ago, one of their staff threatened me on social media.He regularly lied to customers over the phone.I've watched him waste half an hour AFTER THE APPOINTMENT TIME and his staff urging him to go to his scheduled meeting with a customer because the fall-out always puts everyone one behind. Half an hour late, even before heading to the meeting, he'll call them and lie that it's traffic... He hasn't even left the building.They've lied to me for over 15 years. Currently waiting for the last promised "I'll keep you updated" and then he ghosted me. Some of my coworkers there were enabled to harass and assault other employees for 10 years. The employees he harassed? They ALL ended up quitting, aside from me. I stuck it out for over 15 years until the boss fired me without telling me why.Besides being a victim, I witnessed it happen to coworkers a dozen times. Half the staff there let me know the owner was slandering me behind my back and when confronted on half a dozen occasions, he promised not to do it again, but he slandered me again and then made the excuse it was a joke but the witnesses he told didn't hear it as a joke nor did it sound like a joke when I caught him saying it on 2 occasions.An attorney said I waited too long. If you leave your property there and it takes more than a week to get back to you more than once, contact an attorney or even the police to retrieve your property before it's too late. As I am such a witness you can point out that you could lose your property due to their either malice or ineptitude.They've been "it's a hoax" anti-makers during packed auctions and regularly block fire exits. One time I was told, "The fire marshal won't be here during the auction".The owner told me not to disagree with him at meetings and then at a following meeting he once again made a false claim but out of the blue asked me specifically to agree with him... to the staff. I chose to keep my principles and simply refused to answer, reminding him he told me not to disagree with him.My biggest regret was not contacting an attorney sooner and not quitting like friends and family kept insisting.I have records, emails, public recordings and photos.

Top-notch auction house in St. Petersburg, with monthly auctions. Attend in-person, or follow along online.

If your an advanced collector of antiques and fine art or looking to decorate your mansion, Burchards is the best in the bay area- probably most of Florida. If you are on a budget or a flea marketer Burchards is most likly out of your league.

The best auction house in town. These people have the knowledge and the contacts to get top dollar for your merchandise.

COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE & MISREPESENTING! They DO NOT do what they say they will do. We spoke with them MANY times, (even the owner) we emailed MANY times, they NEVER did one single thing they said the would do. You best decision is to deal elsewhere at an auction house that conducts themselves in an honest, upfront, and business-like manner. I DO NOT recommend Burchard Galleries. Judging by the high percentage of negative reviews, we are the only ones who have had a terrible experience here.

I've found everyone on the Burchard team to be honest, professional and easy to work with. They are highly respectful and sensitive when working with the recently bereaved and helping families with dispersing estate items. After working with these guys several times, I feel comfortable enough to just hand them the house keys and let them work unsupervised with no worries what so ever. .
