Items were very poorly prioritised and Sold nowhere near the valve. Estimator turned up at the wrong time and date.
Would not recommend it to anyone who is not in the game. I genuinely feel robbed 😭

Efficient and professional service from the knowledgeable Stewart Atkinson. I have recently sold items in several McTears auctions and found the advice and guidance provided in advance to be generally fair and accurate. Commission is also clearly stated in advance and is well worth it for the market insight provided and access to many interested buyers. Would recommend.

Knowledge of pieces excellent.Friendly staff

Extremely professional and helpful. Mackenzie is a delight to work with.

I decided to sell what I thought was a glass trinket box. I contacted Mctears and sent pictures. Stewart Aitkinson
Came to my house told me it was French Agate and probably 19th century It sold at a really good price just over the estimate. Stewart made the whole process very easy explaining what would happen and completing the paperwork. I would recommend selling through Mctears particularly as I had previously taken the item to a car boot Sale and was prepared to sell it for £10

This was my first experience at an Auction. I had reservations selling as it was jewellery from a loved one. McTears was the best option. I was impressed by the decor and the quiet efficiency of the staff. Everyone was polite and professional. Having a complimentary coffee was a nice touch. I was given an immediate preliminary valuation followed by e-mail . Overall I felt my items would be safe & sold to someone who really wants them. I would have no hesitation to recommend this company.

I received more than predicted and am more than happy.
Great service from estimation to sale.

I received a perfect service from McTears for a sale of football programmes and my contact Stewart

A regular auction attender and for the first time, I requested McTear's to undertake two phone bids (Past & Present today) on my behalf. First one went most satisfactorily but unfortunately the second one was completely missed failing to contact me before the Lot came up. A first time phone bidder and not impressed. Disappointed in missing out on such a good Lot..

l have bean at other actions before but thay ar just flea pits to mctears mctears is so clean and tidy and the staf were great

It was very provisional and the staff were very keen to help at all times

I had an excellent experience with McTear’s Auctioneers and cannot speak highly enough of Stewart. From start to finish, he was a pleasure to deal with – professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Stewart took the time to explain everything clearly, handled the valuation and auctioning of my items with great care, and kept me fully informed at every stage. His expertise really showed, and the results achieved far exceeded expectations. The service was seamless and reassuring, and Stewart’s approachable manner made the whole experience stress-free. I would not hesitate to recommend McTear’s, and especially Stewart, to anyone considering selling items through auction.

Professional Process. Sold my collection of whisky through McTears and found the whole experience impressive in its efficiency and professional process. Well done.

Recently sold two items with McTears. One was valued at around £200, the other around £500. After the auction, they emailed to say they sold "both together" for £360. On the receipt they sent, they said the estimated sell price was "£200-£300" - absolutely not what they told me initially. I suspect they have added this to make the sale look good. After their commission, pick up charge and VAT, I made under £200. Please sell privately.

McTear's Auction provided a very professional and courteous service. The valuation and drop-off process was easy and efficient. All of McTear's staff have been very friendly and helpful.
A very positive experience.

This was my first involvement with an auction house and one that will haunt me for a long time!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong this was all my own fault as I failed to look into what an auction entails and for that I feel extremely foolish. I did not think that the sale price I had envisaged would turn out to be miles away from what the lot actually achieved and to say I was shocked is to put it mildly.
My only gripe with Mctears is that I received no advice when I stated that I did want to sell the items and did not wish to be burdened with a no sale resulting in the goods being returned to myself.
I would have appreciated some advice on what that could result in and it would have been sensible for me to think of a reserve but that advice was not forthcoming and in hindsight I would certainly have considered a reserve had it been given.
I would have thought that Mctears would have had a rough idea of the worth of these items and I do not believe it would have been £20.00 but as I have stated previously the fault lies entirely with myself and my naivety of auctions.
I have to admit that I have been intrigued by my experience and I am curious of the buying side of auctions but rest assured that I will be prepared for any eventualities this time

Very pleasant and helpful gentleman a pleasure to meet him

Very professional. Kept us informed from start to finish

I have never placed an item in an auction sale ever, so I was quite a bit nervous about the experience. However, McTear’s have been kind understanding extremely professional and efficient. The experience has been painless, and I made money. What is not to love? Highly recommended.
