Merrill's Auctioneers & Appraisers is a professional auction house. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, assisting bidders through the entire process from bidding to payment and pick-up. The auctions are well-organized with a good presentation and a seamless, enjoyable bidding process. They offer a variety of exceptional items, ranging from fine art to unique antiques, which are meticulously described. The experience for both buying and selling is typically very smooth and professional, with quick transactions. However, some buyers advise doing homework before bidding, as concerns about item authenticity and descriptions can occasionally arise. Additionally, some find the in-house shipping to be very slow and outrageously priced, recommending caution with items that require shipment. Overall, many participants report good experiences and are happy to return.
Just bought a couple of lots from Merrill's - they processed quickly, got it to the shipper on Monday (it was a Saturday auction), and they were in my hands by Friday. They responded promptly to my emails. They use a very good shipper, who was careful in packing many tiny items. A great transaction all around!!
