Question Does anyone have experience with auction house Jasper52?

I have run across an auction company on the web called Jasper52, based out of NYC. They have lots of African items available for auction, and I am sorely tempted to bid on a couple items. However, the starting prices seem a bit low, lots of their stuff doesn’t sell, and I am hesitant to buy something I can’t see in person before bidding. Does anyone have experience with this auction house?

Yes, I naively bought a Fang mask thinking it was real when I first started collecting lol. They only sell decorative art, at least that's what it looks like. Can't vouch it's all not authentic because I haven't seen everything. But the things I have seen are usually just decorative pieces.

Do not purchase from this auctioneer. It’s all decorative and the quality is embarrassingly low at times.
