fraud
This company has one of the most deceptive and dishonest companies with a website on the internet! Avoid policeauctions.com at all costs! Their products offered are sub-standard and their signed memorabilia is mostly fake! More than likely they have someone in the back room signing worthless items that they then sell on their site as valuable signed...
Read full review of PoliceAuctions.com and 9 commentsvery disappointed with this site
I bid and won 2 rings from them. One an amethyst, received it with one stone missing. I wore for 3 days to show people and 2 more stones fell out. They said value was over $700, I don't believe it. I also ordered a Tanzanite ring valued over $800, I wore for a week and lost a stone. Can't get a hold of them! Very disappointed with this site. My other question is how does this "police" auction site get so many new items to sell?

Read full review of PoliceAuctions.com and 5 commentsnot a police auction and questionable practices
I asked the customer service at policeauction.com where they got their items because I wondered the same thing. They indicated that they have contracts to liquidate merchandise. The auctions are not really police auctions they are run by Vortel Inc. However, when I was sent the wrong item (which was damaged also). I was told to return it and they would send another. I had to pay to ship back the damaged and incorrect item sent to be by THEIR MISTAKE. So I did that. I wait a couple of weeks and see that they have received and processed my item. I also notice 3 of the same items going up for auction while I am waiting for my replacement. I finally call them and they say they don't have anymore so they will just refund it. After I questioned them further, the customer service person said well, we have 3 more on order so we will get more. They ended up just refunding my original bid and shipping. I think they just didn't want to spend the money to ship me my item. So I did not receive the item I bid on and it cost me an extra $12.95 for nothing. I have since seen 2 other of the same items going up for auction. So they did have them.
You need to be very careful when bidding on this site. They seem to have good bargains but they tend to send items that are not as described, the wrong item, or damaged items. (This has happened to me several times now.) You will then have to pay to send the damaged or wrong items back and at best get a refund for the original bid.
I can't say if the items being sold are genuine yet, but I am checking that out as well.
It would have to be a very, very good bargain for me to chance bidding again.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
The site looks like a rip-off as soon as the page loads; in no way does it resemble an official police auction site. Further, real police auction sites would have some sort of official seal or other identifying ID. Finally, everyone should know that government designs are very plain, you could not see a blazing multimedia banner. That is jsut not done.

I have placed at least 20 or more bids on items that were supposedly seized from police/government raids and siezures. On every item, I was not the high bidder, but was sent an email with a second chance offer to buy this item at a higher price. Every email says that another one of the itmes had been located and was for sale to me at this higher price...

Well, I bought a 14K white gold ring with 16 diamonds that was supposedly worth an estimated $2000. I won the bid for it at $400. I later went to sell it after a few months, and the most that I could get for it was $25. The lesson that I have learned is the fact that if you don't know anything about jewelry, stay away from these type of items. I don't know...
