Re: Classic Auctions
I have consigned items twice with no problems. The owner, Marc was jusg here in Vancouver last month and picked up some items for the spring auction- good guy. You should call him directly and ask for his clarification/assistance.

Re: Classic Auctions
I bought from them and have been very pleased. They have great hockey items and are easy to deal with. Yes they did send my cert under separate cover and I called them for clarification. They were very helpful and I will continue to use them for hockey items!Leave a comment:

Re: Classic Auctions
Gingi is right about the taxes and duty fees. That is often why anybody shipping to another country will list the item at a lower amount. Also listing the item as a shirt rather than a game worn jersey will help prevent Customs from seizing it as a fake. If they inspect it as a shirt and find a shirt, it's all good. If they inspect it as a gamer and do detailed comparisons...that is where they may seize it.Leave a comment:

Re: Classic Auctions
Classic is doing something common with auction houses, they argue sending them separately protects you in case one is lost. Take that for what it is.
The $50 value was because if they listed it as $2000, you might incur fees upwards of hundreds of dollars for tariff or tax or customs. Some horror stories here:

Classic Auctions
Has anyone ever purchased an item from http://www.classicauctions.net/ ?
They are by far the worst auction company I have ever encountered.
I recently won a jersey that was shipped to me on 4/7/11. I was sent tracking etc and received the jersey (a $2,000 jersey) 4 days later. You might be thinking... why are you complaining if you received the jersey?
The reason I am complaining is that they "allegedly" decided to send the COA and photo-match separately even though the jersey was sent in a full size box that could easily fit a COA, LOA, photo-match etc!!! Its now been 21 days and I have still not received the COA and/or photo-match that would have easily fit in the box!!! The worst part about it all is the jersey is highly questionable and without the COA and photo-match, its pretty much worthless as it could easily be a retail model!!!
On top of all this, they literally sent the jersey to me with an insured value of $50.00 labeled as "1 Shirt". What if customs would have declared the "1 shirt" to be a fake borntrade.com knockoff and seized the jersey permanently?
It seems all too convenient that they sent the COA and photo-match separately, however they have no record of shipping it, no tracking, no delivery confirmation nothing.
I have heard horror stories about Classic Auctions and was wondering if anyone out there has similar stories?
