Gary Germer & Associates

I consigned some items and received my money, after a very fair consignment fee, quickly after they sold. The staff are friendly and very professional, as well as knowledgable. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Ugh. Not good with customer treatment. We scheduled a verbal evaluation of a couple pieces of art from my mom’s estate, as our first step in figuring out what to do with these pieces (worth doing full appraisal or not?, for example) and what to do with the whole estate.
They called to change the venue of the appraisal to far NE Portland because that’s where Gary would be that day «getting ready for a big estate sale.» When we arrived at this new location and found parking, Gary wasn’t there. We were told by the guy there that Gary was instead appraising an estate in the West Hills. We asked if we should wait for him to return and the guy said nah, he probably wasn’t returning (this was at 2pm). We asked why they didn’t call to tell us and just reschedule (or more professionally, schedule the West Hills appraisal after this set appt), and the guy said «I have no idea.» So this guy said he would be doing the appraisal, said he wasn’t that familiar with the type of pieces we brought in, and then spent 15 or 20 minutes looking up comps on his iPhone. That was it. Terrible way to treat customers — and inexcusable. And now we definitely won’t be going to these folks to deal with the whole estate.

Recently went into Gary Germer’s store looking for a wedding ring for my fiancée. We were helped very well by a young woman named Jessica. She was very knowledgeable, helpful and polite in all manners. She never pushed us on a more expensive ring, which was refreshing.
Overall, a wonderful experience! Their ring selection was amazing and Jessica was awesome.

I’ve been to a few of Gary Germer’s estate sales and have visited their ‘estate store’. I am impressed with the amazing goodies they get but what I love even more is the great prices they offer on their finery. I’ve always been the ‘never-​pay-​retail’ maven, so I love these guys. The staff is kind of kooky– a very Portlandesque group– but they really know their stuff.

My partner and I recently visited Gary Germer’s «Estate Gallery» in NW and were completely surprised by the quality of the items they had for sale! They had glass from Tiffany, Lalique, Stueben, Waterford etc. Pottery from Rookwood and Roseville. Lots of jewelry and decorator items, too. You’d never know it by the exterior. It’s like a best-​kept secret, a little jewel box of a place. It reminded me of places I’ve stumbled upon in New York City. It’s easily missed from the street. They are right across from Western Bike Works. The staff was really helpful too. Check them out!
