    I recently bought a ring and it was delivered yesterday. It is beautiful. If its fake, I would be ok with that. I spent more on a fake wedding ring, (to wear of vacation), in the department store that doesnt look nearly as nice. I will take it to my jeweler to confirm, but either way, I am very happy with my purchase. I won 2 more biddings and cant wait for them to arrive.

    Thank you for your positive review. Please note your item is as described, full gemology and materials are provided in the item description, including the plating information, if any. If you take the item to a jeweler, please print the description page and take it with you. 'Fake' is not a material used in manufacturing, but if you take a plated ring to a jeweler and ask them if it's fake, they will say yes, since it's not solid gold. This is a common source of the negative reviews we receive. Reading the full description is key to having a positive purchasing experience. If for any reason, you are unsatisfied with your item, you may return it for a refund. If you need any assistance, just contact us through support on the site, we'll be happy to help you. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

    Nice costume jewelry, but it's NOT real. Bought some pieces and they're very pretty, but when I tried to resell to a jewler, it turned out they were not real diamonds. (I dont even think there are any diamonds on anything I bought, even tho it says there are.) The estimated value is fake. Only buy for fun, not for serious buyers!!

    Thank you for your thoughtful comments. We use a portable stone-tester to verify the diamonds and other stones, so the items are as described. We're not responsible for someone else's negative comments. We do not provide values for the items. Please note we don't guarantee profits when you try to flip the items, especially to a jeweler. The key to a positive customer experience is to read the descriptions, we provide full gemology and materials on jewelry. We're happy to help you with a return of your items for a refund if you wish to return them. Obtaining a refund is easy, just follow the return link on your 'My Wins' page and follow the instructions from there. If you need assistance, please contact us through support, we'll be happy to help you. Thanks again for your review.

    I have purchased a few jewelry items over a few years. The item is described, and I have never been disappointed. The jewelry is just beautiful, and I'm very happy with my purchases that are lower in price than buying from a jeweler.

    I have purchased many items and I love each one. One bracelet was a graduation gift for my grand daughter and she loved it! I will continue to participate in the auctions. Right now I am hoping to win a ring for my daughter. Read the descriptions and print all the information on each item. Again my five rings and two bracelets are so beautiful!! I can't wait to see what I may win next!

    Bid twice on a ring that I liked and won. Was not really expecting to be as happy with it as I was, when I opened the box I was shocked at how beautiful it was. Very happy with my purchase and feel like I got a great bargain. Just ordered Topaz earrings and cant wait to see them.

    Today was the first time I had purchased anything from this site. I am pretty surprised to find out that they are in no way affiliated what so ever and that they are able to have a site that states they are a police auction, even the logo appears judicial. You would think that would be considered a deceptive tactic especially if they are selling "fake" items. All I have to say is this, the item I bought had the below description Product Description Auction ID: (I deleted the number for privacy reasons)This Auction Ends: April 28th 2024, 5:26:00 PM PDT Stunning Women's Sterling Silver 1.20 CTW Tanzanite Size 8 Designer Ring ***stone Description ***stone: Tanzanite Color: Violet *** Grade: AAA CTW: ***** CTW Cut: Round Cut Material Information Primary Material: Sterling Silver Primary Material Weight: 3.89 g Primary Material Karat: 0.00 k Jewelry Information Mount Type: Ring Gender: Women's Size: 8.00 regardless to what I may have paid for the ring, what it says in the description is exactly what I should get. If it is not then I will return here and file my complaint but for the time being I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    I have purchased many rings on this site and there are only 2 that I have issues with however, most were supposed to have 2 types of gems yet only had one. There was silver where the 2nd gem was supposed to be. One looked nothing like the photo but to return it would cost far too much because I have to pay for shipping both ways which is $17... one way so it is not worth returning it. The silver "dots" (which are supposed to be diamonds) on it are larger than the stones and it is really horrible looking. I have only done home testing and there is only 1 that I can say is fake, the others appear real, at least using the home testing methods. The majority of rings are all size 7, very rarely there is a 6 or an 8 which can be frustrating. It would also be helpful if you could search for only what you are looking for, such as "Rubies" instead of having to search through many pages to find what you are looking for. It would also be helpful if you could search for the size you want, unless it's a 7, you can count on any of them being a 7.

We do have other ring sizes but size 7 is the most common. We don't currently have filtered searches on the site but may add that in the future. We do over ******* auctions per year, and the vast majority of users are very happy with the products. If you have any issues using the site, please contact our **************** team, we'lll be happy to help you. Thanks again for your thoughtful review.

    SCAMMER ALERT SCAMMER ALERT SCAMMER ALERT SCAMMER ALERT SCAMMER ALERT If I could give it ZERO STARS I would. Its all junk that they sell. Every single time I've bid on an item, its immediately followed by a bot bid. Its a no win situation until the bids get ridiculously high and not worth the actual item. They should NOT have an A+ rating on BBB. STOP SCAMMING PEOPLE POLICEAUCTIONS.COM

    Thaks for your review. Apparently, you are unaware of *** bidding, where users can set their high bid, and the system bids up for them as needed until they hit their high bid. There is no scamming going on, just normal behaviour for an online auction. Your review is indicative of people screaming scam when they don't understand the fundamentals of the site. We could have easily explained this to you if you had just done us the courtesy of putting in a support request. We have an A+ rating because we do over ******* auctions per year with very few complaints. We are very responsive in our customer service with response times of no more than 12 hours, 365 days a year. If anyone reading this has an issue with the site, our products or service, please contact us through support. We will happy to help you and explain how the site works if you need it. Thank you.
