Unbelievable people!
I bought this as a gift for my artist girlfiend, so I'm new at this. I got a great deal on an incredible piece of artwork. When it came to shipping, I thought it was a little high. They worked with me to get to an amount that was in line with the purchase. Couldn't ask for better people. Thanks, I mean it. Seriously, the packaging was bulletproof.

GREAT AUCTION EXPERIENCE.
This was my first time bidding with Richard Stedman Services and I must say it was a great experience. I had a question about the condition of a painting and received a quick, thorough and professional response. I arranged to pick up in person and was very pleased with the condition of the painting which was exactly as described. I will certainly be watching there future auctions.
