Best Auction house in Canada

B	Ben Goldenthal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ AVOID WADDINGTON'S!!!! If you're a buyer they are ok but as a seller you'll find no bigger ripoff in Toronto. They claim to be "experts" and tell you you'll get big money for your items however they advertise auctions extremely poorly and will get you nothing for your items every time. They then take a seller's premium on top of this and offer horrible reserve prices ensuring they can sell it cheap. If it doesn't sell they also donate your item to charity. Ridiculous!
R	R Morgan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They have a wide range of collectable art as well as their wine and Spirt auctions through out the year. Helpful and knowledgeable.
W	William Green on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Recently had some art to sell and filled out their consignment form on line and got an auto reply they will be in touch. One week later no reply. Then sent a new email to their general inquiries asking what happened to my consignment and again after a few days no reply. Obviously they could care less about dealing on line even though they are set up for it. I like to deal on line, so have now contacted another competitor that does reply. Wont waste my time with this company any more.
p	paul bremner on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My experience with Waddington's has always been a joy. As a seller and as a buyer it is always a pleasure .... Waddington's have always gone far beyond being helpful and courteous and professional.... many years of dealing with a GREAT Canadian auction company.
j	jeff jeff on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ i wouldn't give even 1 star. for Asian departments, the strategy is to mark everything as low as possible. Apparently, those specialists have limited knowledge in some areas though they may have some deep knowledge in some other areas. when taking photos, they missed most important pics and do not brother to make changes. Avoid this!!!
c	c Ross on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have used this auction originally taking a trip to Toronto couple times a year staying at a bed and breakfast just down from king street and going to Craft Burger for lunch. So I have a very long history with this auction and they have second to none honest and helpful employees that pride themselves for being honest to a fault. The antiques from this auction fill my home and this auction has been a really big part of my life, I consider the staff my friends and I care for them deeply. When going in person, went for drinks with staff after the auction finished. The quality of antiques, pictures and jewelry is outstanding and very expansive. The price you pay is well worth it and the online auctions are amazing and you know what is going on all the time. All the condition reports I get for 15 years have been spot on and very accurate more accurate that any other auction house world wide I have dealt with for 15 years. Buy and consign with confidence. They get great prices but are very conservative as they should be with estimates. This auction has been as mentioned a big part of my life and will be for the rest of it!!! It is much more than a auction house. Without Waddington's my life would not have been as rich in experience.
J	Jodilyn Morel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I wouldn’t work with this company. I reached out for a quote on a white gold Concord and received a rude email questioning the authenticity of the watch and the rep telling me that it was “tarnished” and therefore fake as white gold “doesn’t tarnish.” Anyone with any knowledge of white gold knows it can and will tarnish and that white gold has the bright “white” lustre due to a rhodium coating, which will wear off over time. This is my second experience with the same rep, both bad.I deleted the email regarding the watch and will never deal with this auction house again.
S	Shirley Sundberg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I hope this is getting to Waddington's Auctioneer-the first picture is of Lincoln and it looks like it is bronze and copper bottom. The second picture is of a music player that uses a wire to play and there are little cannisters-there is an instruction booklet and it is in a cabinet. The cricket player plate is 1 of a series.. Pope John Paul's visit to Canada in 1984 and is copper with a wooden frame. The Royal license plate was on the Queen's car for her Canada visit.. The vintage lamp has been painted. There is also a vintage wedding dress from 1948.. Want to put on auction
