Excellent service

Stuck on needing to withdraw a bid I finally rang Kenneth. He couldn’t have been more helpful and talked me through the process. Very good service.

Online issue

I was struggling to sign in and reported this to the sales room.com. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email back so quickly and also what I needed to do to get myself back on line and on track. This was important to me as I’d recently made a bid on some items and was anxious to know everything was in order.
Great communication and problem solved. Thank you

New to online bidding

I am new to bidding at an auction and had a question regarding my registration. The help I received by the online chat answered my question and I successfully bid for the first time.
I didn’t win the bid but I will be back! Thank you.

Unfair treatment to bidders

They blocked me to bid just because Ramsay Cornish complained of unpaid item. I have sent twice Ramsay Cornish to disclose the gold content of the item but I was ignored, I sought help from salesroom but did not help at all. Totally one sided and treating bidders unfairly

Good Service to a Luddite

the agent Kenneth got the issue straightaway and sorted it promptly with no fuss. And as I loathe computers , Ai,and all the other modern nonsense where you can't deal face to face with a human being, he made what was a trying experience actually useful and pleasant

Far too slow to register to bid

Far too slow to register to bid - final clearance came 90 mins after registration and so unable to bid on the lots I was interested in. I appreciate sale days are busy, but surely after decades you’d have this aspect down to a tee ?

Great Service

This was my first contact with the Salesroom customer service and it was great.
I was having password problems, and on a deadline, as I was wanting to bid on an item the next day.
I got very speedy service from them, and with the info they send me I was able to solve the password problem. And I even won the item that I wanted to bid on.
Thanks to the young lady that I spoke with.

I was bidding online for one lot at an auction house that uses Saleroom as their remote bidders platform.

Bids are time critical, so my bid before the gave fell(on a lot that I wanted) and before next lot (the I did not want) was presented, was registered to the next lot.
If auction rooms are going to use your system, then the application needs to be more time-critically accurate.

This is not the first time that a bid was wrongly entered when Saleroom was involved.

I have lost trust in saleroom!
