    They tore the house apart, took the built in microwave, cut wires. We had to pay for repairs to the house after they left.

    Sierra Auction is a big auction house locally in Tucson & Phoenix …read more They auction weekly cars & trucks ,merchandise , recreational boats , motorcycles ,rv 's and more in an online auction . I've always been intrigued watching the cars & trucks auctioned . The sellers can be government & municipal vehicles , charity donations , government police seizures . Some vehicles have reserve prices that must be met to seller said vehicle. You must pay taxes & fees based on sales price & other added fees that add up but probably similar but different from a dealership . You must register & put a deposit to bid . If you fail to perform on a winning bid your charged 14% of your winning bid . Fridays score the Saturday auctions you may view & start the card only . That said there's some good deals & " duds " both if guess . They also auction miscellaneous items ,store returns & more. There is a big helpful staff that has been most helpful in my recent first time buyer experience . Sold ! Sold! Sold ! Located north of prince rd just east of I -10 freeway in an old industrial area .

They tell you like it is, help when they can and they are always willing to discuss any issues or questions I may have had. The young men always offer to help me when my item(s) are heavy. I think most people don't ask the right questions, expect too much and blame them for their own mistakes. People need to Read all of the information that they post before they bid/sell any items. I have bought many items from them and always enjoy the next new auction! Great people, helpful and Definitely hard working. Thank you R&R for a great shopping experience!! Sharyn M. Glendale, AZ

We had numerous items from large leather sofa and love seats, very nice desks, dinining sets, bookshelves, storage units, armors, jewelry, 10 bags of Anthropologie clothes, shoes, dressers, Samsung washer and dryers, tvs, arts, you name it we had it. We had other businesses like them come and see our stuff they told us they can probably get 4000-$6000 for us. The only problem was we had to move quick and the other businesses did not have time that fast and they would have come and collected everything themselves. After 5 months of waiting, I got a check for $237!!! For everything. I had two electric matters base/bed that were never used from mattress firm that I had bought for $600 each. That was just two things. I am beyond disappointed. Never again. I much would have rather donated everything. This is insane.

    I have worked with SAM Auctions for a number of years on many projects. The sales and marketing…read moreteams are top notch. Their on-site crews did a great job of cleaning out the locations and making them ready for the landlords. They do projects all over the country and the selection of items are great. They will keep you posted for auctions for the locations where you are. They also have a sammarketplace.com where you can purchase items at a fair price without having to go through the auction process. If you have a need for auction services or quality pre owned equipment I would strongly suggesting giving SAM a call.

    I totally agree with the other disappointed customers of SAM Auctions and their reviews here on…read moreYELP. We have been buying used equipment from SAM Auctions for over a year now. We have been burned on MULTIPLE occasions on purchased items that are poorly identified and misrepresented. SAM provides very few photos, and rarely disclosed known defects/problems. After the online auction is won, it is a nightmare trying to reach anyone at SAM to coordinate the onsite equipment removal. There does not seem to be any accountability, and it's often unclear, who to even contact to handle your remote purchase removals. Many of the onsite people require you to fax their hotel rooms and other archaic, hit-or-miss means of communications, despite the technology available to businesses today. SAM Auctions appears to hide behind lame policies such as "onsite preview was available" or "Items bearing Quality Assured stickers are eligible for up to a 10% refund". So if you buy a $1000 item, and it arrives missing parts, internal motor housing corroded, and it doesn't function, they refund you no more than $100. WTF?! We, like so many other online bidders, make our auction purchases remotely from out of state, using online bidding platforms, so onsite previews are absolutely impossible, and SAM Auctions realizes this fact. I feel that SAM takes advantage of their out of area online buyers to dump and over-charge on sales of defective equipment that no onsite "bricks and mortar" buyers would ever touch, by failing to disclose these obvious quality issues. BEWARE!

    Very professional group! Quick checkout…read more Great estate sale. Definitely can tell that they have been doing business for 30+ years.

    As I knew he would do eventually because he does it with almost every one-star review (there are so…read moremany of them!), Bo Patrick came along and whined that he had somehow been mistreated by clients deeply unhappy with his service. Our contract with Fidelity stated that the sale would include artwork. It did not specify oil paintings. We did ask Fidelity to auction artwork, and all the artwork we wanted to offer for sale was photographed weeks ahead of the auction by Fidelity's employees or agents. To be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. In his reply to my original review, Bo claims that "The day before the auction [my family] removed $20,000 in artwork and now you are upset because we charged you a commission to do that but that's exactly what the contract allows us to do." First of all, it's quite a shock to read that we owned artwork worth $20,000, because that's not what Bo told us at the time. He gave us a much more modest assessment of the paintings' value. Second, regardless of the worth of the paintings, that is not what happened. I don't know if Bo's memory is so poor that he cannot recall the events of his sale with us, if he is so lazy that he did not bother to check the facts, or if he is sufficiently deficient in honesty that he doesn't care about the facts. But his account is wrong. Bo knew that the oil paintings would not be for sale. We had a Zoom meeting with him and Kelsee more than three weeks before the auction in which he tried to persuade us to let Fidelity sell the oil paintings and our father's home; thank God we never seriously entertained the idea of letting him sell the house. But we told him immediately after the Zoom meeting that we had decided against selling the oil paintings. When Bo originally talked to us about the paintings, he wanted to have an online auction, so that people all over the world could bid on them. But that never happened, because we told them weeks ahead of time that the oil paintings would not be included. Again, to be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. You cannot believe anything Bo says. He whines that he "had buyers from all around Arizona and other states drive-in for those paintings.... When they arrived, they were very upset with us as an Auction firm.... You affected our reputation that day big time." But if Bo had people traveling from out of state to bid on items we told Bo were not for sale and did not let Fidelity photograph or advertise for the auction, well, that sounds very suspect to me. It is by no means our fault if Bo advertised for sale things he knew would NOT be for sale. We did not affect his reputation--HE did. If people were upset with him that day, it is entirely his fault. Bo won in our lawsuit against Fidelity not because the contract let him charge a commission (the judge agreed that it was a very badly written contract and did not redound to Bo's favor) but because, as I stated before, at the hearing, the judge allowed one and only one witness to speak: Bo's partner Kelsee Wirtjes. Please read my original review to see what happened next. In the time since I posted my original review, Fidelity has received two more five-star reviews, but three more one-star reviews. Their previously poor rating is even worse now--and it's entirely their own fault. The crucial point remains the one with which I concluded my original review: Why would you hire an estate sale company who is so disliked by most people who have hired it? Learn from our mistakes. Stay away from Bo Patrick. Don't believe his unctuous denials. However much he tries to shift the blame for his bad reviews to the people foolish enough to hire him, the fact nonetheless remains that most people who hire him to run an estate sale are extremely unhappy with his services.
