Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.There are simply too many fakes here. The internet is flooded with counterfeit and forged Chinese antiques, including porcelain from various dynasties. Ming Dynasty doucai porcelain is particularly notorious for the large number of fakes. The same is true of Chinese paintings, with many questionable or forged works attributed to famous artists such as Zhang Daqian, Fu Baoshi, and Qiu Ying.
I've had an excellent experience using Invaluable. The platform made it easy to discover reputable auction houses, review high-quality catalog listings, ask questions before bidding, and participate in the live auction with confidence. Communication through the platform worked well. I contacted the auction house with questions before bidding and received a prompt, helpful response that allowed me to make an informed decision. The bidding process was straightforward, and the post-auction payment and shipping process was seamless. I also appreciate that Invaluable brings together auction houses from around the world in one place, making it much easier to discover items that would otherwise be difficult to find. Overall, it was a smooth, professional experience from start to finish, and I wouldn't hesitate to use Invaluable again for future acquisitions.
Invaluable does not vet its sellers nor do they do anything to help a buyer. They banned dalshire international a seller who has sold hundreds of forged signatures of celebrities annd sports figures. A blatant fraud scheme. The items had certificates from guaranteed forensic authenticators also in Texas . Years later since my 2021 purchases I find this out now. They have also been suspended from Live Auctioneers. All invaluable does is offer a canned email. They are not the seller. That is true ,they are the venue. However they made no attempt since banning the seller to contact the people who bought things so they can try to file a fraud suit. They do nothing but close their eyes. Fortunately the clock starts when you know an item is forged. While I do not expect money repaid I’ll file claims wherever I can and warn people. I was a VIP buyer as well. Stay off of invaluable.

Bidding was seamless, shipping handled by the seller. All good
I could not pay for the item using my computer. I had to call the seller.

waited for two hours to bid on a ring. When the ring was up for bidding, there was no opportunity to bid before a figure was provided and then the bidding closed. Could not enter a competing bid before they closed the bidding and sold the item.

I have trouble logging into the site on my phone. Other than that, once I’m logged in on my computer everything is fine. I guess the thing I like most about Invaluable is that it’s a one stop shop for auctions
I have never had a problem with a transaction on the Invaluable platform. All of the auction houses they work with are reputable. The website is really easy to navigate, and the live auctions always run smoothly. I highly recommend using Invaluable.
There is in consistency in the amount of time for submitting a bid and either moving on to next item and allowing more time when bidding on an item is brisk. When there is a lot of interstate more time is understandable. But when there is little interest, next item is swift before a bid can be submitted when it appears starting bid may not be achieved.
Objects from all times and from all places. If it existed its likely it still exists here someplace. I have my favorite auction houses that cater to my tastes. One stop shopping.
An essential platform for any collector or seeker of rare finds
I'm writing this because I have 250 or more auctions under my belt your doing very cool as far as Im concerned however your shipping is gone over the top I'm cutting back because I won an auction and the shipping cost more than the item not working for me so unless the shipping goes down I'm not bidding
Bidding was easy :-)
