Sotheby's Opiniões 96

had a great experience with Alogba. He kindly let me use the toilet when I really needed it, and he was genuinely nice and welcoming the entire time. It might seem like a small gesture, but it made a big difference. Really appreciate the kindness—thank you, Alogba!

Sans réponse de sotheby’s après une demande d’estimation…cela fait 3 mois maintenant…

they're gold diggers. had World war holy grail items, and they perm rejected it. they're gold diggers.

L'estimation de mon tableau signé du 19ème était "en dehors de leurs compétences"
" falls outside Sotheby's areas of expertise"🤔
Donc je verrai bien ailleurs avec un professionnel.
Les temps et les réputations évoluent.

No response or estimate received after submitting item on 21/08/25.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Tried to sell my Birkin bag in auction in london. Took bag to them. They checked it over, took ID from me.
Then 2 days before auction they email to say they have doubts about its authenticity and won’t now sell it. This was after having my bag for 3 months! I am so disgusted with them.

Honest. Fair.

We moved from London to Nice and were looking for a property to call home. We were fortunate to work with the Sotheby team who found us our perfect home. We worked closely with Kenneth and could not have been in better hands. He listened to our needs, was always accessible and committed to us as buyers and finding us the perfect home. He made the whole process as smooth as could be possible and kept us informed from the beginning to the day we got the keys. I could not recommend Sotheby enough and especially if you are intentional buyers or haven't purchased property in france before. They will be with you every step of the way.

Bought an 16k item in NY, asked them to ship it also in NY, asking $500 for it !, after paying I am already waiting over 14 days!!
Than they used an excuse that they could not deliver because nobody was there, It is in a F… office building with a receptionist, how can you not deliver?? Sotheby’s are really amateurs …. Never buy again!

Professionnel du métier depuis 38 ans. Je remarque que de plus en plus d'incompétents sont engagés dans les divers études britanniques avec une arrongance nauséabonde. Il m'est très rare d'écrire des avis sur les plateformes, mais là il le fallait. Le pire est à venir avec ces bras cassés...

If i could give zeros i would. After declining my clock upload i wanted to delete my profile. They won’t let me no matter what i do. And coincidentally I'm getting to a of spam calls. Bogus company. Do not trust!!!

Sotheby’s a site that says you can send in pictures for your evaluation, but they never seem to fit into any of their categories.
I’m reading the reviews and finding there’s something very peculiar going on there. I think the FTC should be contacted.

The NY store auctioned off a watch on 12/13/24 and I have yet to be paid for it. They have not responded to my emails or portal messages. The online chat bot opens “escalated tickets” that are never followed up on. They will steal your property with no care in the world. Do not ever use them unless you can walk in to their building to retrieve your payments.

Sothebys pollute my email box with marketing and spam messages but when I finally decided to login and give them my data, none of the websites worked and I had just waisted my time trying to fill up the forms.
I will not express my feelings about Patrick Drahi, after his business in France and new owner of this company but for sure I understand why Sothebys websites work so badly.

What is actually wrong with Sotheby’s? I won lot on December 17th. Today is January 7th but the item was never even shipped. Customer service didn’t provide any information other than “she will call you back”. Just comparing my experience with lot I won on different auction on the same day ( dec 17th) and received it on December 20th!!!! Again 20 days later paid item didn’t shipped from Sotheby’s!
Update:
On the end of the day status was updated to finally shipped. Well hopefully the rest go smoothly. 3 weeks wow and counting.

Elaine Holt is extremely unprofessional and rude

Nous avons proposé un portrait d'un grand maitre italien a cette maison de marchands, expertisé et attribué par une des meilleur et la plus honnete experte italienne en art de la renaissance, qui a travaille plus de 30 ans pour les tribunaux de rome et d'italie. Mais ils nous l'ont refusé sur photos, sans nous donner aucune raison et sans avoir meme lu le dossier. Et ils ont vendus des faux modiglianis ??? Et ils expertisent une banane collee a un mur, 1 million de dollars et nous refuse un portrait de ce maitre que personne d'autre au monde possede ?? Nous avions ete averti que toutes ces maisons d'encheres sont corrompue, maintenant, nous en avons la preuve !!

Actually lm trying to bid a Rolex watch, but l feel strange that they did not reply me a simple question through email. After reading the reviews here, l decided not to buy from this site.

Hublot watch 6 years older than advised
I bought a Hublot big bang watch from Sothebys to celebrate my 60th birthday, they described it as circa 2015 (approximately 2015) when it arrived it was a 2009, a huge difference. They then ignored my emails for 4-5 days and when they replied they said that circa means upto 10 years, which was completely laughable and disgraceful to say, in this case circa would mean 2014, so they are obviously trying to wriggle out of their bad advertising, I thought they were a professional company but this has really shocked me, I wait to see what they now come back with as a response but so far completely disgraceful without integrity

8 jours pour répondre à ses clients, pour ensuite se voir dire que les délais sont trop courts pour arriver à l'adresse.
Après 15 ans d'enchères chez Christies, Drouot etc.. Sotheby's a la plus incompétente équipe. Ils n'ont aucune considération pour leur client. J'ai dépensé plus de 50 000 euros en 2 mois mais cela n'est sans doute pas assez pour respecter un client.
Et les personnes ont pour statut: Shipping coordinator.
Il a fallu 8 jours, à raison d'une réponse par jour, souvent incomplète, pour arriver à un dénouement lamentable.
Ne cherchez pas plus loin pour les résultats de Sotheby's sont en baisse.
