Exceptional Service and Reliability: A Seamless Online Auction Experience with iRostrum

Our overall experience with iRostrum far exceeded expectations. The platform’s stability, transparent and upfront pricing with no hidden costs, and their ability to deliver tailored solutions for our unique needs were all exemplary. Their exceptional service was even recognized and praised by our legal team. We would highly recommend iRostrum for anyone seeking a reliable and professional online auction platform.

Pros:

The assistance provided by iRostrum during both the setup phase of the bidding page and the auction itself was exceptional. Despite the time zone difference (we are a company listed in Australia), their team offered 24/7 immediate and highly professional responses to all our queries. Their flexibility in accommodating the required personalizations for our sale was remarkable, and the platform remained stable throughout the two-day auction.

Cons:

The only potential challenge was the time zone difference due to our location in Australia, but this was effectively mitigated by iRostrum’s around-the-clock support, making it a non-issue in practice.

Charity auction

Pros:

It was very easy to set up and user friendly for the people bidding. Also, we could tailor it to our needs and our branding.

Cons:

Some functionalities were not available yet, like the exports to excel. It would also be desirable to be able to export the whole history of each of the auctions.

Reasons for choosing iRostrum

Auctria seemed more difficult to setup and the support team were not as helpful as iRostrum's.

Pros:

We are very satisfied with the collaboration. There is active input on optimizing the website’s setup, and the bulk upload of auctions runs efficiently. The website is continuously developed with a focus on user-friendliness. The back-end portal is clear and uploading auctions is straightforward. Additionally, support requests are handled promptly and effectively.

Cons:

In the past 8 months, I have not had any negative experiences with iRostrum. The only minor drawback is that the CSV files downloaded can only be read with the UK version of Excel, while we use EU versions here.

Pros:

iRostrum was an absolutely find. We have used auction houses for years and knew that we wanted to do something different, holding our own timed auction is a game changer. iRostrum was such a straight forward platform to learn and host on. What should have been daunting was so straightforward and we were able to start and complete our first auction of 158 pieces within 4 weeks. Brilliant !

Cons:

Literally the only thing that I would change or that I struggled with a little was the getting the layout for the invoice right. Positioning my logo and going over to 2 pages threw things out a bit. I would spend more time on it next time.

Vendor Response

Hi Lisa Thank you so much for your positive review, it's been a real pleasure working with you and seeing your hard work translate into such a successful first auction! We look forward to the next one! Kind regards, Marijke

A regular acquirer and ocasional vendor who values the reliability of the MAAK iRostrum platform.

iRostrum is great but MAAK are even more impressive, especially as you have established a Foundation to support the under-researched ceramics field, and begun a programme of live in-person panel events. I wen’t to the )’Driscoll one and am hugely anticipating the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] one. Thank you. That these are free is also awesome for people on low incomes (of which there are alas far too many nowadays).
