My name is Pri. Over the past decade, my experiences as a buyer in the auction world taught me valuable lessons—especially the importance of delivering exactly what was promised. After encountering items that were broken, damaged, or not as described, I saw an opportunity to raise the bar. When launching Black Belt Auctions, with support and alongside my husband Ken - We made a commitment to uphold the highest standards in everything we do. Our approach is simple: provide detailed, transparent descriptions of every item, including any marks or damage, and back them up with professional photos so buyers know exactly what to expect. I like to say that I bring the discipline of excellence from martial arts into the auction world. We always include shipping insurance on every quote and package we ship, just to be safe. However, we are well versed in packing techniques, that at times can be creative, to prevent issues during shipping. And if anything does go wrong, we jump to make it right as quickly and efficiently as we can. Our mission, what we call our 'Black Belt Style,' seamlessly blends the values of martial arts—dedication, commitment, and excellence—into everything we do.
