B&L
I had some items in the previous B&L auctions and I was very pleased with the entire process, especially compared to my consignments with other auction sites. I don't know about cash advances, but everything else was first class.
Ease of consignment was A+. I mailed the items to B&L so I didn't have to make a long trip to meet someone in person. I didn't have to fill out a lengthy consignment agreement.
I was very pleased with the hammer price for my items. Again, A+.
I didn't have a lengthy lead time in advance of the auction, so I wasn't waiting for months for the auction to start.
Zero consignment fee. This was very significant, especially when compared to 20% for some auction houses.
No paper catalog to hold in my hand, buy who really cares? The website was great and worked well. The only glitch is that for the past couple of auctions the extended bidding period doesn't work correctly with the Google Chrome browser, but it is easy to change to IE.
The descriptions were very good. Sometimes when I read through an auction catalog it seems like they are just going through the motions with their descriptions or they don't have enough knowledge of what they are selling, but I thought that B&L did a good job.
Zero consignment fee. (Did I mention that already?)
Quick payment. I had a check in my grubby little paws 14 days after the auction closed. Can't beat that!
B&L did a great job, and I will consign with them again when I am ready to move some more items.
