I had some collectible pens that I wanted to sell and had no idea how to do so. I was introduced to Kenneth Imjle at Clarke Auction Gallery. I have never used an auction house before and admit I was intimidated by the process. Kenneth was kind and knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable with the process. He did extensive research on my items in preparation for sale, and produced descriptive and beautiful pictures and text about the pens. He advised me on how best to separate my items into appropriate lots and the results were beyond my expectations. I made significantly more money than I anticipated and was so happy about that. All of my items sold and I received the payments within 30 days. Beyond results, the team at Clarke supported me during the process. They answered every phone call I made with questions, and the warmth and care made me feel supported and confident. I have nothing but good things to say and Kenneth and Clarke Auction Gallery. I am so glad to have found them and recommend them highly.

The people at the Clark auction couldn't be nicer. I have visited three times to their free Wednesday appraisals. They accepted a few of my things, and explained why the others were not acceptable. it was a great learning experience. I am amazed at how patient they are and knowledgeable.

Unfortunately their shipping recommendation lead to pickup confusion and a near doubling of the original quote which I had no alternative but to pay. All in all a disappointing after sale experience

I made several attempts to contact but was bounced around from phone to phone. They are a busy company who are not concearned with customer service. Rude people with poor phone etiquette. They placed me on hold several times, yet were impatient and unable to answer questions . They hung up on me saying "we have a lot of other calls."

I contacted them for a question about some antiques I own and they wrote back to me in what I thought was a rude way to talk to anyone epically a new customer. They advertise on their website encouraging people to reach out to them about antiques and they will evaluate and let you know what they are potentially worth. When I wrote to them expecting a welcoming and evaluation though what I received was basically a one sentence email from them that said "Clarke Auction is not interested in your antiques" Well then why do you say on your website urging people to bring their antiques to you if you're going to be rude and dismissive when they do. All you had to say was tell me something nice about them and approximate how much they are worth. Even if it's $50 to $100 People reaching out to you are hoping for a positive experience with the auction so please try to remember that when writing to potential customers. I would have visited this place and maybe bought something now I won't ever visit.

Great stuff, but:"I really appreciate your rules, that read more like constant threads. I followed your guidelines and hired one of the shippers. (Btw, only 2 out of 4 cane back with crazy to moderate pricing)As a collector I have not choice to buy when I see something I need for my collection, but your attitude is not the best advertisement for your business"

Prior to my recent trip to Clarke my auction experience was minimal. Whitney Bria was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process. She took the time to show me the bracelet I was interested in along with a few other gems I may have otherwise missed. Auction preview was a fun opportunity to see what was being offered, and a new way to spend my Saturday afternoon!
