Client Testimonials

"We first saw Grant on PBS Television and when we saw where he was from it immediately piqued our interest. We recently inherited a large collection of our late uncle’s property and were trying to figure out how to share his collection with people who would value it and appreciate it’s significance rather than just leave it all stored in a box, where no one would ever see and appreciate it. As a classic movie TV host and published Oscar historian, he was let me just say, not only an expert on the subject, but a serious collector of all things “Classic Movies”. We were quite overwhelmed with the sheer volume of the collection he had acquired and left to us. We called Grant and he came and looked over the collection with us. The more we talked, the more impressed we were with his expertise, knowledge and connections. He knew people to call we would never have been able to find. As a result of the tireless work of Grant and his team we continue to be so pleased with his work and the way he is helping us honor our uncle’s collection by sharing it with so many appreciative buyers. Grant, thank you and your team so very, very much."

"For the past year I have been working with Grant Zahajko, auctioneer, researcher, and antique expert as our family goes through collections and collectables. He is very knowledgeable about their value at auction and he is respectful to the emotions a family has when contemplating parting with their historical mementos. Not only is he an expert but his resources for both buyers and sellers reaches out worldwide. He knows the current markets and the value things will sell for. He has a huge data base of clientele and collections that his company reaches. My favorite part of working with Grant is his enthusiasm and excitement when unearthing historical collections, and teaching me what they are, their age, origin, and who will be delighted to find these treasures to add to their collections. I highly recommend Grant as an auctioneer and expert."

"I could not be more pleased with my experience in working with Grant Zahajko. Knowing that he had the outlet to get my items authenticated, and put up for auction, made me realize that I had made the right choice in contacting him for help. My trust in him led me to have no reservations in sending my items to him. The communication I received through phone calls and emails was off the charts. I was kept abreast of every step right through to the sale of my items. It would be a pleasure to be able to work with him in the future."

"When I first met Grant Zahajko I knew immediately that he was someone I could trust to send our rare 1960's Jimi Hendrix rock poster to auction.

He is extremely knowledgeable about the collectibles market and if further research is needed, he will do so to garner the best price. If you want someone you can trust, someone who's knowledgeable and someone who will work to represent you at auction, I would definitely recommend contacting Grant."

"Hello, I will look over the items in your upcoming book auction with great interest and definitely expect to bid. I am writing however to thank you very much for the outstanding service provided after I purchased 3 lots in your recent ‘Ceramics etc.’ auction in late July. All were in superb condition when received thanks to your substantial care in packing. (I now have no need for a long, long while to purchase foam peanuts!) The shipping charge was extremely reasonable and all of my ‘treasures’ are now proudly displayed in my home. Your company was not on my proverbial radar before, but it most certainly is now! Many thanks, from One Super Satisfied Customer"
–Johanne, Blaine, Washington

"Dear Zahajko team, From a perspective from Europe I really want to thank you for your excellent inhouse shipping service wiht a fair fee. This is the reason I like to bid in your auctions. You do it like allmost all European auction houses, but for the US this is the absolute exception. My experience many times is, that auction houses in the US do not care about shipping and external shipping companies use this to apply a sort of blackmail to the customers and take outrages prices. You are different and that is great. Stick to it and many thanks,"
–Sebastian M., Germany

–Judy M., Bethesda, Maryland
