If I could give them a 0 out of 5 stars I would. I have purchased numerous art pieces to find they are fakes, they refuse to provide provenance information, and when you question them, they ghost you.... See more

Bought a GGL certified Ruby and when I got it appraised found it to be synthetic. Buyer beware the reputation of this place is horrible

Stay away
If you ever register for one of their auctions they will constantly email you about what is in their upcoming auctions. I have been trying for 6 months to get them to stop.

It's a massive scam
After my experience buying through Invaluable, I can confirm and assure that all three pieces of art are fakes. They sell pieces under the name of the original artist and shield themselves in their terms and conditions, but the truth is that I haven't received any answer.
The auction house are still repeatedly selling fakes and are doing nothing to stop it. Invaluable is protecting all these auction houses from fraudulent auctions. And this doesn't mean that all the auction houses that use Invaluable are fraudulent, but a VERY high percentage are. Just do a Google search to find hundreds of results on different pages, reviews and videos.
It's a shame, this seriously damages the credibility of the industry. Shame! Stay away from 888 Auctions if you're looking to buy an original piece.

Wish I never heard of 888auctions.
Thieves. Do not send your products there EVER. I should have done some homework before I agreed to send my antique woodblock prints. First, its been over a year since i sent them. I was told a few months ago that they woukd send them back for $65 shipping. It only cost me $48 from us to canada. Then they tell me that they have only 4 left of 10 to send to me. I was told by the rep, that none were sold. I never received any money or notification of sales. I looked them up and found that the owner had just been released out of prison for selling black rhino horns. A global sting operation called operation crash by the US and international police agencies. They don't respond to my emails or phone calls. They have no decency. No honor in their word, their word means nothing. To sum it up, I basically sent them 10 of my prints and they kept them. I supposed I should not have trusted them, so it's my fault. But I would hate to see this happen to another.
