I bid on one of their online auctions and after the auction was over my card was charged for the items I won. When I arrived to pick my items up, I was told one of the items (the one I really wanted) had to be pulled because it actually "belonged to the home owner and was part of his personal collection" I asked to speak to a manager and the Gentleman on the phone was rude and would not give me the opportunity to talk. I was trying to explain to him that I worked in the auction industry and knew once I bid and my bid was accepted that was a legal binding contract (which they make sure to tell you

BUYER AND CONSIGNER BEWARE!!!
In the three decades that I have spent in the antique business, I have never dealt with a more unprofessional and careless group of people. After having paid for my item, I was shipped someone else’s lot. I waited six weeks for them to get around to sending me a return shipping label. I still haven’t received my item that I paid for six weeks ago and the “auction” company will not return my calls. Unbelievable.

I purchased an item from an estate but the workers failed to double-check that all items were accounted for. I tried more than five times to contact this estate sales company but to no avail. The company did not respond to my two initial voice messages and did not respond to my initial emails. After three days, I finally got through to a company representative and reported that my item was not included in my other purchases. They said they would check to see if the item was in their warehouse, but did not follow through. Please be aware that this company seemingly cares little to ensure a good

Never let them remove anything from your home, they did from mine after an estate sale that brought about 1/3 of projections. The items that were not picked up they took and said they would sale free and send me the money. I received an email outlining the same. Over the year I saw all of MY items sale at their sale and I was NEVER PAID. RUN DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I sent them an email and to this date after 1.5 years have never been paid. Items stolen basically.
had the owner come to my home and look at a large amount of very fine items that I needed to auction. He said he would send me something

I have purchased a number of lots from Peachtree & Bennett estate auctions and have always had a wonderful experience. The items have always been exactly as advertised and the people are amazing. On a number of occasions I have been out of town during the pick up window and have always been able to arrange alternative pick up with no issues. I highly recommend Peachtree & Bennett and will continue to shop their estate auctions!

My experience ranged from 1 star to 5 stars depending on the issue. One Star: I had to repeatedly contact them to 1. update the listing 2. include provenance. 3. initial photos did not do the item justice and made a small issue with the piece appear far worse than it was. Five Star: Alejandra quickly responded and made adjustments. One Star: While the buyer is required to pay within 72 hours, payment was not received for over two weeks. It took multiple calls to get my funds transferred via wire transfer.
Five Stars: I was counseled to wait a few months for a bigger auction that would have a larger

My wife and I recently attended our first auction here. It will NOT be our last. We had a great time and came away with some tremendous deals. The staff is wonderful. They are all so courteous and friendly; we felt at home immediately. We particularly liked Alejandra the female auctioneer. She was excellent (as was her co-auctioneer Gary). It was nice to see a woman be successful in such a male-dominated field. Anyway, We really enjoyed the whole experience and will look forward to the next auction.

The experience I had with this company was not a good one at all. They were very unorganized and the employees did not keep an eye on things during the sale. People would come in and just take things and leave. My father’s house was very neat and organized before the auction. When it was over, his house was completely destroyed. Items that were not supposed to be sold were sold anyway. Items that were put in a room that were not to be touched were gone through and items taken from them. Those items were sentimental to me. Some items were taken to Gary’s gallery without my consent and I have

After we had finally resorted to our negative reviews, Gary- the owner, reached out to us. He worked very hard to address our issues and was very apologetic. He explained there was a confusion with our account. Over the next 2 weeks, in regular communication with Gary, they updated the status of our consigned items and wrote us a check to satisfy our balance. We really appreciated the effort Gary went to, to resolve this. It seems like they have a good system, but somehow, our account fell through the cracks. And they were able to get good prices for many of our consignment items

I recently sold many works of art through Peachtree and Bennett. I've never done this before so I was a very new to the auction experience. Alejandra and Gary were so helpful in educating me on my pieces as well as the process and what to expect. I feel my pieces were marketed very well and reached the audiences needed to fetch the price tags we hoped to obtain. Not only that, I was unable to drive to Atlanta to take the pieces to them so they arranged for a pick up service which made my life so much easier. Upon the pieces arriving to Atlanta, Alejandra and Gary contacted me to go over each piece
