Anybody buy from Pristine Auctions?

[Onlineracing]

Hi All, new here and exploring the site, came across the auction page and have looked at some of the sites. Has anyone bought from Pristine Auctions? Just the shear volume of the auctions would suggest some decent deals. Anyone have good or bad experiences with them?

Thanks
Brian

It's been a few years but I picked up some boxing-related items (posters, tickets, programs) from them and everything went smoothly.

I don't have a lot of AH experience to compare it to but the packaging and delivery of my items was fine and the added buyers fees didn't seem to be out of line with others.

Thanks Bob.

Never bought from them, but from what I know I think they're legitimate.

Legit -- Not an issue

One of my friends buys a ton of stuff from them and sends me links all the time to discuss what to buy

It helps he lives in NJ and can save shipping

I like pristine and have bought through them with no issue whatsoever, but good luck on finding deals. I don't know who bids on their auctions, but a lot of prices are what can only be described as "bananas". I was outbid on an Aaron judge card last night. It's a $20 that eventually went for over $70. This is not a rare occurrence either. Couple nights back, same thing on a chipper Jones card. $10 card went for $50. I can't figure out who is buying these prices.

Proceed with caution. Ive won a couple of ungraded cards, which were clearly over advertised for their grade. This might be a dumping place for misfit cards that look good but wont grade good. I will say their customer service is good and fair. They accepted my return and tried making good with an instore credit for future business.

Bought from them a few times last year and never had an issue.

I've never bought from them, and have never had an issue.

I mostly buy from them when I am looking for a signed/framed piece for a gift. They have always come through and have a very good, large selection of recent stuff that fits that bill. I do think that they have very high hidden reserves on vintage stuff though. I have bid on items in the past and was outbid, then saw the same piece a few weeks later for auction again.
