888 Auctions

Don't trust these people. They sold me fake baseball cards for over $300 and are not willing to give me a full refund.

The description posted led me to believe they were authentic without question.

They are not willing to check authenticity or accept a mistake when they've made one. Avoid at all costs, they are thieves!!!

This guys are selling fakes, and they know since they are buying items to the forger in Peru! Do not buy!

They sell fake pieces of art that they buy from known forgers, they take advantage of sites like liveauctioneers to sell, do not buy, you will be defrauded!

They are misrespresenting items that are not authentic and woirth very little money but they keep gettiing away with it

Bought a diamond. It was a fake.

Cubic zirconium . This place is a scam selling fakes from China. Had the stone looked at by 2 jewellers.

Scam artists.

Buy at your own risk. Bunch of Chinese crooks

I consigned items for auction on July 1 and July 15,

total $19,600 US that they should pay me

very arrogant, primitive customer service

They are saying that check was sent Monday (19,600 US), I ask today what proof they have that checks were sent?, registered mail?, tracking? I don't trust them at all

They did not answer, typical, hiding head in the sand. I is my first China experience and I hate that, they are so arrogant

In June, 888Auctions had an auction that allegedly featured the large collection of a southern Ontario estate. Artists included Chagall, Bluhm, whanki and Miro.

Each listing said that limited provenance was available. Moreover, each listing stated:

All lots that do not carry established documented provenance nor any past record of auction history record are described in the catalog as attributed.

Because all the listings indicated that provenance was available and none were described as attributed, I was convinced that the auctioneer had some established documented provenance supporting the legitimacy of the works. Further, I wanted to buy pieces from 20th century abstract painters, many of whom were not well-known, and certainly nowhere near the level of Chagall or Miro. I didn't think there would be a high risk of counterfeiting.

I bid on and won 10 works for a total of $2800.

Following the auction, 888Auctions refused to provide any information whatsoever, even withholding the name of the estate due to confidentiality concerns.

In my final email, I asked them to provide ANY information that would help demonstrate they werent simply working with a large counterfeiter. They never responded.

To Whom It May Concern

I am writing to inform you that 888 Auctions based in Ontario, CA is knowingly and willingly selling forged artworks on the liveauctioneers, Hibid, invaluable & Proxibid online auction platforms, among others. I have contacted the Ontario Auctioneers Association, The Ministry of the Attorney General Ontario as well as Interpol and US authorities. They are purposely defrauding customers all over the world and all auction sites that list their goods are complicit in their scheme.

Selling fake art, obvious that signs tells them that item a copy

Bought a Freida Kahlo print on a August16, 2019 auction and when I received it a month or so later I found it in unexceptable condition. The catalog photo had been filtered to appear in good condition.

In fact, when received I found the print to be filthy and totally unacceptable. I contacted them and the refused to accept a return.

I'm out $366 plus $7500 in shipping costs. Do not deal with these scammers.
