We have consigned with J.James several times and found it to be a pleasant experience. Josh, the owner and Kimberly, the office manager, were always ready to answer our questions and handled our business with professionalism. We will consign with them again!

I definitely would assign this business minus stars if there was a choice
If you're considering auctioning some of your valuable belongings, stay clear of J. James Auctioneers and Appraisers in Plymouth, MA. You might as well hand them over to the first person you encounter in the street. You're apt to receive the same unprofessional treatment from a stranger. I have used two other Auction Houses in MA and in comparison J. James was a horrific experience. Anything that I asked for and that I was told would happen was ignored. The owner appraised one of my items for $10,000. I told him
