America's Value Channel Reviews

There was a piece that my friend said I might be interested in 'cause it was related to my hobby, and I was. I bid on it and I won it. The process was flawless. Just call, stay on the phone, and see what happens. If you're trying to watch it, there's a little delay, but if you're on the phone, it's fine. Since then, I bought six more pieces from America's Value Channel. I didn't open any of the latest six because I'm in the middle of doing my house, but the first piece I opened, I love. My friend stands by them too, so I'm in good hands.

I purchased a KEF! original and it was very easy. I also got reasonable value, and I have my fingers crossed that it will arrive undamaged. I have received items previously and the quality is very good. I've had experiences where shipping started and stopped though. For instance, I'll get a notification from FedEx that something is shipped, and then it goes from having an arrival date to not having one and it goes into some state where I have not received them. There are two items that are like that right now. Apart from that, it's straightforward. I purchase from America's Value Channel because of authenticity and price.

I appreciate AVC and their customer service staff contacting me to resolve the issues that I had. In addition, I appreciate the time that Mr. ** took to contact me as well.

I like art. I love the purchase of my first two from America's Value Channel. I purchased $5,000 worth of art and then I purchased a couple more later. But because one was gonna be a gift, I returned it and they took it back. The other one had no glass. It's an original oil painting and I wanna return that because there's no protection on the oil. Right now, I haven't heard anything. I'm having a rough time returning it. If they do not return it, I'll never buy from them again.

I was flipping through the channels and found America's Value Channel and I liked what I saw. It's very easy to make an acquisition by bidding over the phone. The quality of my last purchase was very good. I have 80 pieces of artwork that I purchased from them and I like them all. My experience with The Fine Art Auction was very good.

We bought one of Josh Mayhem's sculptures, Pegasus, from America's Value Channel and it was great. I was able to get it at a really good price. Then my mom bought a ton of paintings too. It's nice to be able to turn on the television and be able to purchase art. My mom and I are both VIP art collectors of Park West, so we understand values and pricing. America's Value Channel is a neat service. They need to change it though ‘cause my mom said it's getting a little repetitive. After you watch a few weekends in a row, it's pretty much the same thing.

I was channel surfing and America's Value Channel caught my eye. I've never seen anything like that before. The bidding has been fine and everything so far has been as advertised. I liked the idea that they have a little bit of everything across the spectrum. They have a little bit from pop art, classic, landscape, the new street art. Because that's what I'm interested in. I'm not just a particular collector of one style or whatever I like, where I can have a broad-based selection. Everything is positive, but there is one thing that irritates me a little bit. There are times when they’re really dragging out the bid way too long. Also, lately, there have been some technical issues, but overall, I've been very satisfied with everything.

The program is entertaining and insightful. I purchased from them and it was fairly easy to make an acquisition. My last purchase was a month ago and the quality is outstanding.

A friend told me about America's Value Channel then I watched it and I fell in love with it. I've been a serious shopper with them. I didn't have near the amount of art that I now have since I've been watching it. There are four nights and two different auctioneers. One of them in particular is extremely educational. The other one's educational too, but he's a little more of an auctioneer than the latter. They're very forthcoming in what they tell you and the potential investment of it. I haven't been disappointed in any of the art or the condition that I've received. I may have 18 to 20 of their pieces.

America's Value Channel has great prices and great works of art. The acquisition for bidding is easy and it has top quality. I don't think one can find better in galleries. It comes exactly as set up and has a certificate of authenticity, which guarantees that that's what it is for life. It includes good frames, which is very unusual. No gallery does it, typically. Everybody's been good to deal with, especially the person that helps me purchase, so I've used her many times for what I buy. She's dialed in and pretty quickly in getting me the last bid. Her name’s Jennifer. It's a fantastic experience overall.

I like the ease, the price, and the quality of purchasing from AVC. Also, I like the presentation. They give you good information and background on the products you're buying.

The staff at AVC was terrific and the quality of the pieces is remarkable. I only wish I have a lot more money to buy stuff. It's gorgeous things. My last purchase was a week ago. I have the stuff sent to my office and then I bring them home because I don't want to take any chances for UPS to leave it at the front door or something.

I'm interested in the fine arts and there's no trouble making the bidding over the phone with America's Value, but it's always very difficult to get in touch with the consumer service people. I've had two wrong deliveries as well. In one case, the wrong picture was sent to me, and we went through a long ordeal of attempting to correct the problem. I am a very good customer. I've spent tens of thousands of dollars on art and I had a very difficult time. Eventually, things got settled, but it seemed to take a tremendous amount of time. The communication between the clerk or the consumer helper and the people who deal with the paintings themselves seemed to be very disconnected. In any case, I'm continuing to be a buying customer. I intend to be a client. I buy every week and everything is fine

I've always been an art lover and I have a lot of art in my house. Before I purchased from America's Value Channel, I looked online for people's comments and there were some bad and some good. It seemed the company was legit, so I thought I'd give them a try. I took my chances for the first couple of pieces, and now I've spent a lot of money with them. They're a good service and I'm satisfied. I'm able to buy conveniently online. Three weeks ago, I purchased a KEF! original. The process was easy and the quality was fine. I used to be an art dealer. I might frame some of the pieces a little differently than what they framed, but other than my overall taste, that's the only issue.

I watched America’s Value Channel for quite a while. The auctioneers seem knowledgeable. The references are decent. I bought and collected art from other places from either the artist or from galleries. The first couple of things that I bought were of good value. It seems America's Value Channel represents a lot of French artists, either from a collection or from just connections. The first thing I bought came and it looked as represented, so I became more comfortable with it with time. Bidding over the phone was easier than it is at a live auction.

I've seen American Value Channel for years. I flipped through the channels and saw it on TV. I saw something I liked and I thought I’d buy it. You just call them up and if you wanna bid, you bid. if you don't, you don't. It’s no big deal. If I like it, I bid more. If it's too much, I quit. I bought a painting by Zero Gradient four weeks ago. I liked it and it didn't go too high. If it would have gone higher, I would have quit.

I stumbled upon the fine art auction on the internet. I see them on DirecTV. I was going through different channels and found it. I've already been an art collector for several years. I watched America's Value Channel for probably three weeks before I bought anything. I'd taken the first few pieces I bought from them and had them authenticated, and they're authentic. So, I've been buying since then. They have good prices on some things that you'd have to pay 10 times as much for an art gallery.

I know about contemporary and pop art, and America's Value Channel had some Miro’s that are lithographs. They're numbered and signed. I know prices of this stuff. AVC also have some of the Warhol’s, Shepard Fairey, Striker and Zero Gradient. And they can get good prices on some of the posters. So, it all depends on what you're looking for. If you're knowledgeable, you can probably find prices that are good depending on the night also. I bought most of the Myths Series of Warhol Series. There are 10 and the last piece I bought was one of them. I was surprised that they even had these pieces on. But my favorite is the Dines and I’ve got some. One’s a hammer and one’s a top hat.

America's Value Channel is fantastic. Purchasing is very easy, either with the bidding process or when they have a special and you're just calling in at a fixed price. The quality is what they say it is. It's excellent. I bought some Kalf prints. I'm becoming an art lover and I'm enjoying the art history when they explain things. From being a novice, they're making me more educated when it comes to art. America's Value Channel is a great diversionary channel because I can't stand watching regular TV. It's very educational for us novices.

I like art. My husband and I used to go to art auctions all the time. I just started watching and seeing some of the art pieces that America’s Value Channel was auctioning and had an interest in it, so I put in a bid. I won the bid a few times. They have an artist that they offer a screenprint on, where you don't pay a buyer's premium. They've been doing that at each auction, but they're about finished with that. So, I've taken advantage of that. My latest purchase was a couple of weeks ago, and I bought one of those screenprints. I've always been very satisfied with the quality. Overall, it's a good opportunity to buy some nice art pieces at reasonable prices. The operators are very easy to work with. They're there to support you and to get your bids, and so it makes it very easy.

I like art and I’ve seen the value of it. I've made quite a few purchases from AVC. When I see something that I like, I just get it. It is so sad that everybody is poor but I can help relieve them and pay for whatever it is they’re selling. That way, I get a good price and they get some money. AVC is affordable and the quality is guaranteed forever to be authentic. I also appreciate the fact that the pieces come in very nice frames and proper papers. I love the frames. There’s variety. I'm pretty big on William Blake and Salvador Dali. I live in a pretty big old farm house. I like to use art to decorate within the house. I was really glad that I bought the Andy Warhol canned soup which is very large. I put it in a certain spot and it really set up the kitchen.

I liked America's Value Channel's price and the quality of products. Bidding is very easy. We've been signed up with them for quite a while and the items we've purchased have excellent quality. We got a couple new Roes and Dalis. Recently, we've been into the Zero Gradients and the KEF!s. We've got quite a few different artists.

I've been collecting art. We have a host of distribution companies. We design rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms in homes. We also sell finished products, artwork and everything in the designs. Someone had told me about a few of the new auctions that were out there that I hadn't seen. ‘Cause usually it's either online eBay, Sotheby's, live auctioneers and then we found out about the service of America's Value Channel. So, we started using it.

My experience with AVC has been fun. I’ve bought about 100 pieces over the last few months from them and everything we've got so far has always been exactly as it's been represented. I've got some things that I would not have been able to get from any other sources. They've been attractive to me in the last few months. During COVID, a lot of their artwork has been sold for lower than normal prices. However, since some of the people who are working for AVC are not in the studio, it puts that customer at a slight disadvantage. They only have three people in the studio. Everybody else is taking phone calls. They're having to type things into the computer and there's more of a delay. If you happen to have one of those three people, you're kind of a little bit closer to what's going on and you can make better decisions right at the end. But Tony tried to do a good job to make sure he gave enough time for everyone to get their bid in at the end.

Interest, value and education led me to purchase from America's Value Channel. Bidding over the phone was a lot simpler than I thought it ever would be and the pieces of artwork that I bought from them are very interesting and good variety. We had some friends come over and they were quite surprised. But it was tough getting anything via FedEx or UPS. FedEx was a disaster and we paid a premium to ship via UPS when FedEx could not get things delivered mid to late summer. Other than that, the reps that we talked to were good folks. We have a gal that we call specifically and we've got her direct call-in number. We deal with her almost exclusively because she's reliable and competent. But we prefer not to tell anybody anything good about America's Value Channel because then, we're going to be competing against them.

The last item I purchased from AVC was a Raphael engraving. The quality of the item that I purchased from AVC has been excellent.

I enjoyed America's Value Channel very much. I love them. I was just watching TV one night and I was enjoying watching the paintings. Then when it came to that one, I thought, “Gosh, I really like that. I can go try.” I kept trying and I got it. Everything was perfect with the purchasing process. The rep was a darling and it was a great experience. The quality of the item is lovely.

I found out about America's Value Channel from my fiancé. He was watching it and I started watching it with him. My fiancé was getting art from them and started watching and I got interested in it. The purchasing process was fairly easy, but you don't get your prints as fast as you think. Some come a lot quicker, some not. Some take three weeks to get it. It all depends on the shipping. Some of the frames were not frameworked very well, but I got the art in good condition. Overall, the quality is okay. I like Ray, Mitch and Tony as well. They do a really good job. I like their channel very much so and I've even got coins for my great-grandchildren.

I have watched the art show on AVC since 2016 and have purchased nine paintings over that time mostly from contemporary artists. The art brings me great joy and the staff that answer the phone are always super nice and helpful. I wish I could buy more. I had a problem with one of the pictures when I got it because the frame was damaged. I was extremely happy that they offered to pick up and have it fixed for free. It took a little while to get it back but when I did it was in a brand new frame.. Amazing people. Just want to share my experience.

Every time I call this company, I am greeted by a happy representative ready to help me with my needs. The art work is just how it is advertised on TV and I couldn't be more thrilled. Thank you to the whole AVC team and keep up the good work!

I recently bought a couple of pieces of art. I loved the painting and the customer service is wonderful. Only issue I had was the shipping took a little longer than I expected but once I received the artwork it was exactly what I was looking for. The customer service with this company will go above and beyond to help with any issues. I kept calling and bugging them wanting to know where my purchases were and each time I called they were pleasant and helped me locate the tracking information and after sometime I finally got my paintings...yay.

I purchased a bracelet and was very disappointed as the quality did not correspond with the price of the item ($757.00). I followed the return instructions for a refund on the merchandise. After two weeks, I began to contact AVC, via telephone, to inquire as to the status of my refund. On three separate occasions, I was told I would be reimbursed on Friday. I then sent an email to Customer Service and received no response. After four weeks, I finally contacted The BBB who was able to obtain a refund within the five days.

I did not read any reviews before placing my order and was hoping my experience would be better than those described in some of the reviews. I ordered 3 snuff bottles that were on the Antique and Jewelry show with Sue. They arrived today and were exactly as shown in the show. I am very pleased with my purchase with the exception of one of the lids has putty holding it on. I can live with it that way but think this should have been disclosed prior to the sell and an adjustment made to the purchase price. With this being a positive experience, I am likely to purchase items in the future.

I have made multiple purchases of art in the past several months and have been very happy with the art, the framing and the bid I won them with. The Packaging is excellent as is tracking and the notification of the arrival. In spite of the careful packaging One of the large pictures was damaged by the carrier - something very heavy had been set on one corner and upon inspection had slightly damaged the frame. I immediately called the customer service number and reached Rita. She was extremely concerned and asked me to send her pictures of the box and frame. Rita called me back within the hour and offered several solutions - one was to send the piece back to be re-framed. I opted for another solution and it was done as promised. I even got a follow up call. Thank you Rita! Great Job.

Have been watching a number of coin sales channels. One coin sales program has excellent coins at premium prices; so I enjoyed seeing a new program (America's Value Channel). I have placed 3 orders with them. Two orders fairly close together. My orders were based on what was displayed on the TV. Coins that were graded by NGC or PCGS were pretty much as shown; but the uncircumcised coins and mint sets, as shown, were not of the same quality. Coins were heavily bag-marked, scratched deeply - supposed to be uncirculated.

Dishonest company selling crap. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!! Purchased a vintage coin which they displayed on TV. Coin that they shipped was totally different and inferior. Said they would refund my money upon shipping it back, they only gave me a partial refund. Had to get my credit card company involved to contest charges, which they did. I finally got a full refund, after spending way too much time holding these people accountable. Then when I went to post this review, I find out they have a 1.3 star average. Believe me when I tell you that they don’t deserve that. They are dishonest, borderline fraudulent, and they are betting people (like me) won’t read the reviews before ordering, only afterward when there is a problem. You can bet your bottom dollar that THERE WILL BE A PROBLEM!

I am very happy with all my art I bought from AVC over the years! Everyone has always been very helpful from the phone reps, customer service & hosts. I have collected many many beautiful pieces. All my friends cannot believe the deals I have got on my art. Thank you AVC! Keep up the good work!

I bought 3 piece of (cough) fine art. I received 2, the Van Gogh's frame was damaged so it's been in FL since October. I called and got the RM numbers, I haven't sent them back yet, and I'm afraid to know since reading the other reviews. I told them I sent them off today and to cancel the order on the Van Gogh. If they credit my money back I'll send the fake LITHOS to them.

My mother used my credit card to purchase a painting from this TV show and it was declined at first. This company put it back through a few weeks later and it was delivered by FedEx to my home. The FedEx driver dropped it off in the rain and signed a name that was on the package that was not my name nor my mothers'. It was her first name and my last name. She called and told the company she was sending it back. We never opened the box and sent it back UPS. I disputed it with my credit card and they said the charge was valid because the merchant claimed they never got it back. They did get it back and I now have the UPS confirmation as well as the fax that the AVC channel sent with the photo of the box and tracking number with the UPS tracking number of them getting it back. They must have sent that on accident to my bank.

America’s Value Channel is a complete rip off - complete. Rip off. I had the good fortune to get tickets to the Antiques Road Show and I took 4 pieces I bought from this network. I had high expectation of a solid investment. From the actual bill of sale - Lot - 219 - The Picasso - “One of only 100 examples” – FALSE – a copy - the frame was more valuable. Lot 107 - The Henry Pope original – was not an original – it was a page from a sketchbook – value – was in the frame. Lot 215 – A Raphael – the value is in the frame. Lot 111 - Renoir Original Copper Plate one of 375 examples – value is in the frame. I spent a few thousand dollars, foolishly I might add, and was duped by this network. Let my error make you beware. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS NETWORK FOR INVESTMENT.

I have been watching this art program for over three years and have bought numerous pieces of artwork. I have not bought any for over two years because you kind of get hooked (addicted). I have had my artwork appraised by other well known services and they have explained to me that the only value is the frame. I have also seen numerous pieces being described as very scarce and this may be the only piece in the US. "Find me another" claims the auctioneer Ray **. Well, by accident I happened to own two pieces by Matisse. If these are so scarce, how is it at least three have been up for sale on this program. I am not making any claims but I picture somebody has mass produced a lot of these lithographs and claim that they are rare, even hard to find because of the WWII. Buyer beware!

I had shopped with Ray Taylor and AVC for 6 months spending over $10,000 on beautiful pieces. Suddenly after bidding on an item and bidding went higher than I was willing to pay I passed on the item. I later called back and was told when I went to bid on a different item that I was blocked and no longer allowed to purchase from them. I called and spoke to the station assistant manager who was a very nasty woman who said she would look into it further. After calling back numerous times I was told there was nothing they could do and I was permanently blocked. This all started after I asked for their guarantee to be given to me in writing. I was told that they say it in every show but refused to put it in writing at any time. Sounds like they're not going to be around for long and certainly are not going to stand next to their guarantee which they refuse to put in writing anywhere as it is not even on their website.

They advertising being absolute auction. AVC bidding (running Bids) and buying their own items is not an absolute auction.

I believe this is the worst Customer Service Department I have ever encountered in my 70 year life. I purchased numerous art from them and then I was blocked from buying??? When I called to inquire why the person who said she was the Assistant to the GM was rude and said I was blocked for canceling----I never cancelled. They refused to explore the accuracy of their records. Really stupid and dumb to block a previously excellent buyer.

They will RIP you OFF!! I ordered signed Salvador Dali from Dali's, Comedy Divine collection, (ironically) LIARS, is the name of the piece. Buyer's remorse set in 2 minutes after opening up the box and looked at the art work. I called the company immediately. The art work was not signed. The auctioneer claimed the art was signed and it was not, he LIED!! Rita told me she would review the tape, she never called me back. Unfortunately the sale did go through. I was told by Rita and Kim that I would get a full refund $654.95, once I sent the art back. I sent it back within 7 days. Still NO REFUND. I have called over a dozen times, no response. Unfortunately, telling lies is their method of internal operational processes.

I ordered an artwork and checked it out and found that the auctioneer had lied about the artist. I stopped the sale and blocked them from charging me. I caught the lie the same day. They then blocked me from purchasing again even though I didn't lie. He did. They acknowledged that he misrepresented the artist. They reviewed the tape.

I purchased several pieces of art based solely on the alleged gallery price. As a real estate appraiser, I understand the importance of comparable sales. AVC loudly touted certain comparable sales by the same artist by respected auction houses ranging from $10,000 to $35,000 over the past 20 years. They proclaimed, based on this information, that the art for sale had a gallery price of $21,000. Prior to receiving the painting, I subscribed to a pricing service, looked up the artist and found, not the same painting, sold at an auction a scant 2 months earlier for $642! Not included in all the similar paintings by the same artist was the comparable sale for the article for sale. I have to believe that failing to disclose it is fraud.

I purchased a piece of art on America's Value Channel. They advertise their willingness to return the product if unhappy. I was told I would be charged the shipping fee, return shipping fee, 10% buyer's premium and a 10% restocking fee. I paid all these charges to return the product. I paid nearly $300.00. These are extensive fees, but I really didn't like the art! After sending the product back, I was told I would not be allowed to bid on items ever again! Can you imagine my outrage! If you have the opportunity to read this warning before you purchase, just be really careful. They do not completely represent and state their policies!

I purchased an unheated tanzanite and received it. I had it checked by a gemologist and was told that it was a heated stone. A natural tanzanite (meaning not heated) is green, yellow. Beware! Notice that they do not sell unheated on their website, so the bottom line is that they are liars and cheats!

I bought a tanzanite from AVC. When I got it, it was a lot smaller than it was made out to be. I sent it back that same day and I was surprised that I got a real person to give me a return code number for the item. They received it on April 18th and I still have not gotten my refund of over $1000.00. I can't get anyone to answer in customer service and they did not respond to my emails. They are nothing but a bunch of rip-offs.

Last May, I purchased a ring from AVC which was to be mounted by them. It was a 14K mounting and a 1.68 Jambalo Tourmaline. I received the ring in late July and within three hours of wearing it that same day, the stone fell out. This was not the first time that I had trouble with their mountings. I immediately called Rita who I had purchased the ring from and she asked me to call customer service the next day, which I did. I was given a return number and that same day, mailed it insured (this was only the setting) to AVC.

We purchased a set of graded coins. When we received the coins, the containers that house the coins were damaged. All dinged up, scratched, and chipped. It was like buying a beautiful painting and the frame is beat to hell. We were displeased with our purchase and wanted a complete refund.

I have found I'm not alone in being scammed by this company. They have not credited/reimbursed me for one item (of the many) returned. I have emails from them stating they needed more time, though I left one ring out of a return and they called immediately and I found it (I had taken it out of the box & forgot to put it back in) and sent it asap and yet, even after admitting they had the first ring I returned that was over $1k, they to this day have not refunded me a penny.

I bid on another mandarin garnet ring (bigger garnet) and won when I was sent to get proper sizing etc, the customer service girl gave me such a ration of crap about not having the gem put in the mount that I got mad and said, just cancel the order!

I ordered 36 different gems from this channel during Marvin’s Room. I was so excited to get them in the mail to just be totally disappointed. He made them sound like they were worth a lot of money, and when I got them I took them to my local jeweler and he told me that they are very poor quality and really only worth what I paid for them if that even! I will never buy from this channel again.
