First off, 20,000+ likes on Facebook? Not bad, not bad at all. People seem to dig it. But then you see that “8 talking about this” figure. That’s… kinda low. Makes you wonder if those likes are, y’know, *engaged* likes or just passive “yeah, I saw it once” likes. Like, are they actually *using* the thing?
And then there’s this LiveAuctioneers blurb: “brings you the best auctions in art, antiques and vintage luxury goods. Shop sustainably and support…” Support *what* exactly? They kinda trailed off there, didn’t they? Sloppy. Makes you wonder if they’re just spouting buzzwords.
The bit about a 4-star rating and 3,332 reviews? Okay, that’s a decent amount of feedback. But ratings can be deceiving, right? My aunt Mildred *loves* anything with a picture of a cat on it, so her online reviews are always skewed. Gotta dig deeper, see what people *actually* say. That TrustScore thing they mention? Yeah, I’d definitely wanna check that out before dropping any serious cash.
Then you’ve got this LiveAuctions.com vs. LiveAuctioneers thing. I’m guessing they’re related? Or maybe competitors? The internet, man, it’s a jungle. Anyway, the description of LiveAuctions.com sounds pretty fancy: “old masters, post-war and contemporary art.” We’re talking some serious dough, potentially.
And then BAM! Outta nowhere, we’re thrown into “Guernsey’s, NY” and a random cut glass auction by Woody Auction LLC in Kansas… happening *in the future*?! March 7, 2025? What’s that about? Is LiveAuctioneers a time machine, too? Seriously, this is all over the place.
Same with the “ELITE AUCTIONEERS LLC, FL” bit. Suddenly, we’re looking at a Royal Bayreuth milk pitcher featuring Santa Claus… also being sold by Woody Auction LLC. Are these guys running the whole damn auction scene or what? It’s confusing, I tells ya!
And ending with White’s Auctions, Heartland Artifact Auctions, and past catalogs? So, they list a bunch of different auction houses, which makes sense if they’re a platform… but the whole flow is just… jarring.
Okay, so my expert opinion (based on, like, five minutes of reading) is this: LiveAuctioneers *seems* legit. They’re probably a decent place to find auctions. But, and this is a big BUT, the information they’re throwing out there is a bit of a mess. They need to tighten up their marketing, maybe hire someone who can string a sentence together properly, and, for the love of Pete, get their future auction dates sorted.
