I was told they were as well however I didn't look at a copy of their insurance papers which would be a smart thing to do prior to signing on the dotted line. I would also ask if for some reason your agreed upon reserve price wasn't met who pays for return shipping back to you? I don't know how valuable or significant the items are but I would tell each auction house you are considering consigning to competitors and get the commission rate as LOW AS POSSIBLE. See what they can do for ya. Good Luck!
