Akiba Antiques TrustworthinessPlain and simple, the answer is Yes!Alexander has gone above and beyond what was necessary to resolve an oversight on an auction item purchase. In todays busy climate it seems that customer service has gone to the wayside but not at Akiba Antiques.Alexander has demonstrated that customers do matter and when there is an oversight to recognize it, own it and resolve it. Which all in all is extremely rare these days and should be recognized for what it truly is - Akiba Antiques provides Excellent Customer Service! Kudos to Akiba Antiques and specifically to Alexander!

By far my favorite antique dealer online. The entire staff is responsive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the business they are in. I have had nothing but positive experiences involving multiple purchases and in some cases unusual requests which they managed to negotiate on my behalf. They are certainly the premier antique dealer in South Florida in my opinion. I look forward with baited breath, my next purchase and encounter. Thank you all so much !!!!

I first came across Akiba looking to buy odds and ends such as coins, music boxes, and WW2 memorabilia. I’ve been buying and consigning solely with Akiba for the last three years. Whatever I purchase always arrives on time and accurately fits the description of the lot. The employees there also are very helpful and passionate about antiquitiesA+ would definitely recommend

First-class auction house.I have been an Akiba client for 2-3 years.They are professional and transparent (which is atypical for many other auction houses in the South Florida area). Staff is both knowledgeable and friendly— they will always take the time to answer your questions / work out a reasonable arrangement.I would recommend to any collector who is looking to buy or sell; they will not disappoint.

Like so many auction houses in South Florida, they have, at times, resorted to selling fake Russian antiques. I bought Russian lacquered boxes from them at a hefty price and the boxes turned out to be cheap prints pasted onto boxes which I think are not even lacquered, but some cheap imitation. Just be warned when you see Russian stuff that it could be fake and almost worthless. I have my suspicions about other items that keep appearing at Akiba, but without proof I will not say more. Be very, very careful with this auction gallery as they will NOT disclose that certain made-to-look-old objects are counterfeit.

Really bad customer service, bought silverware and they couldnt find it when i went to pick it up, left my phone number so that somebody could call me when the found my stuff, never got a call and after 8 days i went to pick it up and i parked outside and the workers there were blaming me with hiting one of their cars, they even called the police and the officer investigated and saw that i didnt hit their car, awful place, they dont know how to treat customers

I adore going to thrift shops and finding goodies for myself as well as my home. So imagine my luck when I found this hole in the wall. The entire block was an antique community. I then realized I needed a vintage vanity. Marco was kind and gave me a tour of the auction house. No vanity’s this time but he showed me how to setup an alert on my phone for whenever they get one in. Customer service gets ten stars from me.

I originally dealt with Jonathan and he was extremely nice, gracious and professional. We did business and it was easy and seamless. Jonathan and Matt are very nice to deal with. They are a pleasure to do business with. If you are selling or wanting to place on auction, they are the folks you can trust! I highly recommend them. They are great!

Jon and Alex were extremely helpful during my move. I wanted a few things to get consigned for auction but was overwhelmed with transporting the 4 large pieces to their auction house. They told me to not worry, we setup an appointment to come to my house in the gables with their moving van and blankets to wrap the pieces. All this was arranged on my schedule which meant a lot. Shows their professionalism and obvious care for the client. Thanks guys!

Amazing customer service, Jon was very sweet and answered all the questions I had about consigning my items. I had been to other auction houses and did not feel their intentions to be genuine. I’m glad that I kept shopping around, found a place and staff that made me feel comfortable.

I had a fantastic experience. Alexander and the team at Akibas was professional and diligent. They were not only fair but were able to find the right buyer for my antiques. I was very impressed with their knowledge and their organization. Should I decide to sell more of my antiques Akiba Antiques is where I am taking them. Thanks again guys!!

Was on my way to Hollywood beach when I came across this gem, didn’t know too much about the antique world and bidding except for ebay. Alex informed me on the process of the auctions. I thought they were held at the office like in the movies but it’s all online which is even better for me and my crazy work schedule. He let me know if I wanted to see something in person to just call them beforehand. Very nice group of ppl. Two thumbs up all around!

This auction house charges you a “Buyer’s Premium”, as if it is somehow a great privilege that you are allowed to buy from them. Just think about it. Would you go into any other business and pay this. Go into any major or minor retailer. Pick say $1000.00 in merchandise. You get your sales slip and they want $1250.00 plus any applicable taxes. You show them the mistake and they tell you it is a “Buyer’s Premium”. Would you pay it? Why pay it here? The hammer price is the same as the price in a retail shop. Why are you paying more?Just something to think about.

Sells absolute fakes - NEVER buy from here unless you can actually see the object in front of you.

Having Alexander and the entire Akiba Antiques team to turn to is truly a treasure, given just how crucial it is to deal with honest, trustworthy people (with whom so much is entrusted) in the context of buying/selling fine antiques, and the serious financial implications that might arise otherwise.
