There have been very few problems in the time I've used the saleroom and any queries were sorted quickly. It's a user friendly site. The rating would be a 5, but nothing is perfect.

DO NOT USE
I used these in the past and was a great experience with Lots Road Auction. However 17.12.2025 i bid for a timed auction for a very expensive item via Hatton Garden Auction Ltd. Total scammers - They request money for goods in advance and collection is in Norwich - mailing shop!. It was only after receiving an invoice/ text and email stating I'd won - i checked my account and no items showed as won!.
Saleroom suggests that's normal ?! Haven't bother to raise a complaint as see no value from the saleroom reply. I would encourage others to report to cybercrime and the police.

Dear Sabia,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear about your concerns regarding this auction and understand how unsettling this experience must have been, particularly after receiving communication suggesting you had won a lot that did not appear in your account.
The Saleroom operates as a platform for independent auction houses to host and manage their auctions. Auctioneers are responsible for their listings, invoicing, and post-sale communications. That said, we take reports like this seriously and encourage customers to raise concerns with us so that they can be reviewed appropriately.
If you would like us to look into this further, please contact our Customer Support team at customersupport@the-saleroom.com with the details of the auction and any correspondence you received.
Kind regards,
The Saleroom Team

Fantastic Customer Service
I would like to take this opportunity to praise thesaleroom.com (Noonans). Without going into immense details, an enquiry by me saw prompt action and considerable action before a (favourable) decision was made. The fact that this was handled so professionally impressed me greatly as a ‘negative outcome’ would have caused them less work. In short, thank you (especially Amelia and Philippa).

thesaleroom.com need to vet the auctioneers
thesaleroom.com need to vet the auction houses on their website more carefully. I have just been stung by an auction house which misrepresented the lot I bought. I found out after the event that this auctioneer has dreadful reviews online for doing exactly to that to many, many people. I asked thesaleroom.com to intervene and stop anyone else being taken in by this. But they forwarded my email to the auction house who came back with a very rude reply. They then refuse to help anymore. Bizarrely, as a buyer you have more protection on eBay than by using thesaleroom.com. The directors of this company must be on notice that their site is enabling scammers - isn't this an offence?

The Saleroom operates as a platform for independent auction houses to host and manage their auctions, and auctioneers are responsible for their own listings, descriptions, and post-sale communication with buyers.
That said, we do take concerns about auctioneer practices seriously and review feedback we receive about auctions conducted on the platform. We’re sorry to hear that you felt unsupported in this situation.
If you would like us to revisit the matter, please contact our Customer Support team at customersupport@the-saleroom.com with the relevant details so that we can review the case further.

hans international auctions is hosted on this site, simon hans acts as contact but there are multitudes of fraud
1 there are adresses which are drop boxes
the seller takes payments to wise group in england but asks you to pay someone in japan
the item is described as in london
but it is sent from china
the goods bought when sent are dress jewelry
they describe them as worth thousands of pounds to hundreds of thousands
more like 30 pounds is accurate
why does the saleroom ruin its reputation by hosting fraudulent auctioneers.
the company in uk is a shell its executive is chuha hu who takes the money in japan.
we lost 13500 for dress jewlery dont touch this auction house

Avoid This Clown Show at All Costs
An absolute joke of a website. Whoever’s running this circus needs a serious word with themselves. The service is beyond useless you’d get more sense out of a traffic cone.
Customer support clearly operates on a “don’t know, don’t care” policy. Every interaction feels like you’re asking them to solve quantum physics with a crayon.
Overall, a masterclass in incompetence. If frustration was an Olympic sport, Saleroom.com would take home the gold. Avoid like the plague.
