BRITISH AMERICAN ART AUCTION SCAME
i have written earlier about the scam artists these people are. We had bought pieces on the Equinox in OCTOBER and non-receipt.. Parrot POP, Celebrity and British American Auctions.they had reached a partial compromise when they said they would send the Ted Williamss Collage he wanted... Guess what... it arrived today and it is NOT the piece we bought. The other piece is 'backordered' for another month.. and i truly believe it will never be the other piece we bought.. Tomorrow Parrot pop will contact Celebrity AGAIN.. i beg all of you not to go to their auctions..CELEBRITY, BRING BACK PARK WEST!!!

ESCHEW--Parrot Pop spotted theTed Williams collage before the auction and was able to buy it without bidding.. The piece I wanted was just about $100.00....Dukey1.... I have never had a problem with Park West and they are still doing business on several lines, including NCL.. As for the champagne...that is why some people go to the auctions. and get "softened up"..ahead of time.. These pieces were NOT very $$$ but it is the idea they are selling and you are bidding on an item and suddenly they don't have that item and what they sent in the case of the Williams piece was far inferior...just a framed poster.

Help!
I feel like such an idiot. I took my entire family on an Alaskan cruise for my parents 50th anniversary. I bought over $3000 worth of art and my parents and brother also purchased items. I never thought that this could be a bad company if they were on the cruise line....
It has beeen 11 weeks today and they said between 8-10 weeks. I started panicking and came across this site. Please share all the contact info and ways that you were able to get someone to work with you.

Art and jewelry (unless you are an expert)- why does anyone buy these things on a cruise??? If you wouldn't spend $$$$$$ at home in a Gallery or a known jewelry store, why buy them elsewhere where you have no idea of quality or reality? It's a mystery to me.

I think that many people buy artwork or jewelry on a cruise as a type of memento or souvenir of their trip - or, at least if I were to buy something, that would be my thinking.
I doubt that many people really believe that they are making an investment by purchasing any artwork - I think it's something that will give them pleasant memories of their vacation whenever they see it.
