Holabird is the best
Holabird is the best Auction house for Western Americana Memorabilia. Their auctions are lively and they are always knowledgeable regarding their lots. I really enjoy the on-line banter. I highly recommend them.

Simple, Straightforward and Good
The item in question was small and compact, so everything got shipped quickly with no muss and fuss; the item itself was excellent. So I'm happy.

Slow shipping. No way of contacting live.
I normally would wait until I received my purchase before writing a review. In this case I’m very unsatisfied with this auctioneer. I’ve won many items and have purchased from many auctions. I’ve always had easy access and communication with the other company’s. this Acution house has left me waiting and guessing to when I will ever revive or even hear from them. Still waiting and not impressed.

SKETCHY EXPERIENCE
NEVER RECEIVED ITEM. THEY ARE SLOW TO GET YOU AN INVOICE AFTER WINNING BID, THEN YOU CANNOT GET IT SHIPPED TO YOU. THEY CLAIM THERE IS A THIRD PARTY SHIPPER, SHIPPING SAINT, THE EMAIL THEY SEND DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO PAY FOR OR ARRANGE SHIPPING BUT SAYS IT IS HANDED OVER TO YET ANOTHER DEPT. WHEN I CONTACTED HOLABIRD WESTERN AMERICANA COLLECTIONS THEY GAVE THE EXCUSE OF STAFF ILLNESSES. HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT THINGS IF TURNED OVER TO THE SHIPPER? ABOUT 20 DAYS OR MORE NOW... I HOPE THIS IS NOT A FRAUD OPERATION. I WILL BID ON NOTHING MORE UNTIL I RECEIVE MY ITEM. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT MAY NOT HAPPEN, SO WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A REFUND SO I MAY MAKE A PURCHASE FROM A REPUTABLE SOURCE.

Upcharge after Upcharge, Poor Communication
Yes, they have a huge buyers premium and online live bids are through "third party" sites that also add a fee. But, at least a person is expecting those. Then, once you've paid for the bid and upcharges, you need to go through another process to arrange and for shipping which is not well defined. Then, they did not send a shipping invoice until I called them asking why I hadn't received one? I was anxious, because I was going to be offline for a short while. And, when the invoice does arrive in your inbox and you aren't around to read it, they badger you with multiple emails a day demanding you pay this invoice that you begged us to send in a timely manner. Bizarre. I also sent an email using their own in-house contact directly from the auction item page regarding the lot to which they never responded and probably never read. So, that's what you get with auction houses. You want it, they have it, nobody else can get it, so you supplicate yourself and feel abused in the process.

These folks are great! We needed our item quickly to take to a show, and they got it to us in time. Packing was outstanding, and shipping price was reasonable. Item was as described and better in person than in the photos. The Holabird staff is kind and professional. A + rating!

Get ready to pay up 50 % in fees-Most expensive auctioneer on liveauctioneers
Auctioneer charges 30 % buyer fee plus an additional processing fee So when you add those fees and in some states sales tax you are paying over 40 % in fees even before shipping costs. They also do not do in house shipping and it takes 4 weeks to get your items. They should do in house shipping for coins like most others. but no, I contacted the auctioneer who said it is Live Auctioneers that charge those fees then why is it i pay 15 % fees when buying from BK auctions on liveauctioneers and they dont charge additional process fee and do in house shipping my 1100 in buys cost me over 1600.. so forget reselling never again.
