  Trying to get a paddle number for a friend wanting to bid online. She has registered but cannot see a number assigned to her. When does this happen, does anybody know? Does she just go online on the auction morning and hope there is a number attached when she bids online?
  The website is confusing, does not show her bidding number so she cannot be prepared to bid!

  Customer service is a completely foreign concept to the woman who answers the phone and seems to enjoy antagonising the very people who bid professionally, and weekly, and who’s auction fees fund her job. Rude, condescending, difficult and surly. Unfortunately she undoes all the hard work the rest of the customer-facing professionals in the business do. It only takes one to pull the team down and this lady is most certainly the one. How she still has her position is beyond me.

  Liars! They'll tell you one thing one week and a different thing the next. Wanted to sell some original and signed paintings, they declined because they say they're not accepting paintings they don't think will sell for more than $100 anymore. Why then are they listing prints for estimated value of $50?? Had a few other like responses for other items. Small & Whitfield sold them all for above their estimates. Scammells loss, steer clear.
  
  MORE LIES!!
  I note the owner's reply! This happened pre Covid, we have statement for other items sold on the day we were told this. We noticed they were listing art with estimates below $100 just the day our post was listed.
  The owner has actually criminally defamed us. It is illegal not to QR or sign in and the owner has accused us of such. JUST AVOID THIS AUCTIONER.

  Absolutely THE best auction house in Adelaide, if not Australia.
  Staff are fantastic, appraisers are extremely fair with their assessment of pieces.
  From reading some of the reviews, it would appear those not happy, haven't read the Buyer's/Seller's Term's & Conditions - quite clear & available on their website. At the end of the day, people are buying secondhand, not retail, therefore no warranty, no guarantee.
  The app is also great !

  Scammells Auctions is a wonderful place to either buy or sell items that you may not be able to find elsewhere. They accept your description of items without protest. They have a motto of "Its only Money", they are quick to sell items and their 16.5% rate is a standard. I have bought a lot of stuff from them over the years. Friendly staff willing to get your purchases. Our go to for bargain shopping.

  The people who run Scammell's Auctions are always obliging and helpful. They are honest with their appraisals and the market always dictates the outcome no matter how it is sometimes perceived, as the previous comment suggests. Sadly many of the Antiques are but a shadow of their former glory and the enthusiasm they generated but there are other eras that are now heavily contested.
  I applaud Jason and his staff for their valued contribution to the industry. It is always a pleasure buying at Scammell's sales and I highly recommend them.

  A professional auction house with loads on offer and with knowledgeable staff makes it a great atmosphere. Educated buyers and sellers always do well. I've had some great buys there and wouldn't miss it.
