We just came back from an auction and I must say I really enjoy an old fashioned type auction…read more We went to the preview. The people were very helpful. They gave us information about each one of the items we were interested in and assisted us getting to know the lay of the land. One of the things I really appreciate about this auction is it's so close to Burlington and downtown Church Street. We had a great dinner then after the preview and went back to the auction. You always feel better when you win the mid and when we did we got great assistance breaking down a bed and I had it in the truck in about 20 minutes while the auction was still going. The whole process was easy and enjoyable. The free lunch while they gave the auction wasn't added. Plus pretty good pizza. A little soda coffee in the morning. Just enough to keep you going. The auctioneers kept it at a good cadence about one item a minute and you were never bored. An auction really is about the things you buy and we got what we wanted.. but it's also about the people. Friendly and knowledgeable helpful. All in all a very easy process.

Twice now I have taken time out of a crushingly busy schedule to go in the morning of an auction to leave a bid on a particular item, only to find, at the end of the day, that they "misplaced" my bid and sold it for either the same price or less to another bidder. Fool me twice...? Never again.

My father passed away in May 2025 and my mother had passed three years before, so it was time to…read moreclean out the house and sell it. I live in Illinois and did not want to wait a long time to have things go to auction. Bridge Street Auction was able to pick up the furniture and household goods in June 2025 and take it to their gallery. (Note that this increases their commission by having it go to gallery.) My sister and I were told that everything would sell inside of a month, but it is now September 2025 and we are still receiving payments. Steve Brodi, owner of the auction house, indicated that he sold furniture on one night and collectible items on a different night and household items on a third night. This sounded like a good plan because you have the buyers there that are interested in what is being sold. But there are two problems with this method: 1) It took them several weeks to work through my parents' items by taking it to the gallery. 2) They don't just sell your items. They sell other consigners' items as well, and I believe that your sold items can get assigned to another consigner's inventory list and then you miss out on payment. We had several items that we know sold, but we were not paid for. It took several phone calls from my sister and myself to finally get payment ($1000) for those missing items. They will tell you that there is no need for you to have an inventory of the goods, that they will inventory everything for you. Do not do that. Get a notebook and write down every single item that you are sending them and take photographs of your items. If we had not taken an inventory and had not watched the auction and written down what items sold for and cross-referenced with their statement, we would not have been able to get that thousand dollars. Also, if they come to pick up your items, make sure that they put your inventory number sticker on every box, piece of furniture, painting, lamp, rug, etc. I noted that the guys were more interested in getting stuff loaded into the truck than marking with my consigner number, so I picked up the marking gun and made sure all my items had a sticker. I also put a consigner number sticker on every single page of my inventory to prove that the items listed were mine. This helped when reconciling what items we had and hadn't been paid for with their statement of sold listings and proving to them that we had sent certain items to the gallery but didn't get paid for. If you don't have a written inventory for yourself to refer back to, you will most likely forget that you gave them certain items and will miss out on payment. Especially if you are trying to clear a house after someone has passed away as we were. The emotions of losing someone and letting all of their things go is a lot and it's easy to forget all that went to auction. (In a way, I think this is why they tell you not to worry about an inventory, because if you forget, more money for them.) It also might be better if they do an on-site auction rather than having it taken to their gallery, because then they are only selling your merchandise and you get paid once instead of at random times whenever Steve sells your items at his gallery. You do need to have Internet service for them to come to your house so they can stream on Facebook and my parents did not have that. In retrospect, I wish I would have paid to have Internet hooked up for the one day auction. it probably would have been worth the money to avoid the hassle. And it ended up costing us more in commission for them to come and get it and take it to the gallery. But it all got sold in the end. I just wish I had read a review like this before I went with them. I hope this enlightens someone out there.
