Bill Hood & Sons Art & Antique Auctions

This place has really gone down from what it once was. They built a great reputation over the course of many years in South Florida, but now everything seems to be slipping. They list most or all of their items to be sold online and the photos are often so low quality, blurry and/or low resolution that the viewer can't even see the details of the item. This is especially problematic since they don't seem to have the time or inclination to disclose details about condition that would be of supreme interest to the buyer. It isn't hard to take decent photos--in fact, you have to be especially incompetent not to. A recent lot of books contained several photos that were so blurry you couldn't even make out the titles, much less the condition of the volumes. Of course nothing was listed in the description. Just lazy and shoddy. They want that online money, but don't want to put forth the effort to conduct a quality sale. Go to a quality auction house and you will see excellent, sharp, hi-resolution photos that clearly show the item being sold.

Have bought from and sold with the good people at Hood & Sons. Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, are just a few of the reasons I have continued to come back.

A family affair. Completely honest and upfront which is rare in the auction business, even including the big international houses. There is a fair amount of ordinary stuff but they frequently have something good that goes for a very fair price. They specialize in paintings and are known to buyers all over the country and probably beyond. Definitely recommended and I have been going to auctions for fifty years.
