I love the Alderfer Auction employees -- they are so helpful and friendly. The auctions are great and I've purchased some quality items, and some items just for "fun". The employees make the entire process so easy. Big shout out to Bruce and all the other employees that make the experience so easy!

Terrible selling experience. Very high commission. Misled me as to which auctions items would be placed in. Would not return emails. I have used multiple auction houses in the past, this was the worst, ever.

Absolutely love this auction house. Nothing but friendly staff and great items. Auctions are auctions there are fees and rules that are clearly documented. Sometimes things sell for more than they're worth, great for the consignor. Sometimes less, great for the buyer. This is the way of the auction. Happy bidding!

Second time using Alderfer. I couldn't be any happier with both experiences. Easy to bid, easy to pay, and the staff on site at pickup are always exceptionally friendly and helpful

My experience with Alderfer Auction was absolutely WONDERFUL from start to finish. Everyone was very helpful, payment was easy, & the best part was that they shipped my item. Yippee! No need to find a suitable third-party shipper. Alderfer Auction is also EXCEPTIONAL at packing! I was very impressed with everything they did & definitely look forward to attending more of their online auctions.

Love Alderfer Auction. I have been a customer for years. They have fabulous premier Estate Auctions from Bucks and Montgomery County, jammed packed with the collectibles and antiques I am looking for. Their specialty auctions can't be missed either. The staff is always helpful and friendly, especially the ladies who assist on item pickup days.
Thank you!

WAY overpriced buyers premium and shipping it just a plane rip off. If you can win one for way below whats its worth then it may be a decent buy!! but you will pay way more at this auction co than almost any other one out there for fees that's for sure. nice people, decent items.

Alderfer Auction did an outstanding job helping my father downsize from his house to his new residence. The staff was very professional, courteous, and efficient. I would certainly recommend their services.

Do not put your precious items with this auction house!! The absolute worst place !!!!! We dealt with Tim
We had a military collection that we trusted them with. They came to our house to pick up all the items We had a list of estimated worth of the items. We sent them. They never acknowledged it ! They gave out collectibles away for nothing on the first auction , before the second auction of our items we asked to pick them up and they told us no we have to pay 25 per cent of the price they were listed for. They ended up auctioning our items in lot One of our flags was never listed never to be

I would highly recommend Alderfer Auction. The staff are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. I enjoyed their fine art auction. The items were one of a kind, authentic, and quality items. If you are a person who likes the finer things in life and has appreciation for good taste you will be pleased with Alderfer’s Auction.
