Sequels Estate Sales solved a major problem for us, and they made it so easy and profitable we can…read morestill hardly believe it. The daunting task of completely emptying our home of more than 21 years of accumulated stuff had kept us from putting our home on the market for at least a year. Enter Tom and Penni Yanessa of Sequels Auctions who reassured us that the process could be relatively painless. All we had to do was identify and remove what we wanted to keep. They would do the rest -- sift through everything else, sort it, photograph it and list it for sale on their auction website. Considering the mountainous nature of what we left in that house, we were astounded at how well Tom and Penni were able to wade through it all and stage it for an effective auction. It WAS easy - for us, at least - and unbelievably lucrative. The final sale result hugely exceeded our expectations. We enthusiastically recommend Sequels Estate Sales if you need help turning stuff into money. Working with Tom and Penni was a complete pleasure.

The auction items are eclectic, interesting, and in good-to-great condition. Bidding is legit, (no indication of last-minute shill bids).

When we did get in touch we were told they needed our paypal information. When we rejected this and said they have all the information they need, they finally sent our refund back to paypal .Not to our bank account which it came out of. We also had purchased two items that were said to be 925. They may be 925 somewhere in the world but are not up to our standards here in America as they broke out my wife and left a green hue on her skin. The Velvet Cricket has lost our business and we cannot recommend them.

The store had an insane deal so I was excited to pop in. At the time, there was a $5 and $10 shirt/pants/scarf selection and several mystery tees for adults and children.

Teams you'll find are from colleges, Reds, Bengals, FCC, Cincinnati Zoo, local breweries, pubs, Cincy businesses... these guys are huge supporters of all things local!

Members of the Cowan's team are there to answer any questions you have and pick up an auction catalog plus enjoying some wonderful food and beverage courtesy of Funky's Catering. I attended the Fine Jewelry preview event to check out the Art Smith pieces they were auctioning off, a beautiful pair of sterling earrings, necklace, garnet ring, brooch, and contemporary pin. When you attend a preview event you're able to check out the items the night before the auction and try them on if you would like. Each auction is different and has a different buyer's premium, I'm interested in attending future events to see what unique items are in store to add to my collection.

Cowan's Auctions is a rip off. DO NOT use them, unless you don't care about money. I got some…read moreincredible items at a low bid, then got hit with shipping to Austin, TX that cost more than the items. These were small silver-plated pieces, candlesticks, serving utensils, and a small lithograph. The shipping and handling came to over $350, on a $295 bill! If I didn't pay it, I wouldn't be able to bid on other items from other auction houses, through the auction site that Cowan's used. I have had items from over 6 auction houses and NONE charged anything like Cowan's for shipping and handling. I was extremely disappointed in their callous communications, and lack of integrity. I repeat, don't work with Cowan's, you will regret it.

ReSettled Life to the rescue! I decided to go with the auction and clean-out option. Anne, Tracy, and Jenni were my contacts and they were great. All I had to do was remove the valuables that I wanted to keep and they did the rest. They worked quickly and carefully and I did not even have to be there while they worked. In less than a week, they set up an online auction for all my parent's good stuff and sorted the garbage from the stuff that could be donated. Then the house sat for a week while the auction went live. After the auction finished - every item sold! - the buyers came to the house to pick up what they bought under the supervision of the Staff and all the garbage was removed and I was able to list the house with a local real estate agent. It couldn't have been easier. Every item was accounted for and the staff were friendly and easy to reach by phone, text and email. Make your life easier - downsize with reSettled Life.

Working within my limited budget, they revived a 50+ year old a silkscreen poster. I was initially unsure if the piece could be salvaged, it had so had many problems from years of bad storage, including folds, fading, yellowed tape, acid burns, water stains, and insect damage. This was a completely remote transaction, I spoke to and exchanged email with Christy to get started. She was great and understood that I had a limited budget for the project. From Southern California, I sent them the folded and stained poster (about 30"x30") and they returned it bright, clean, and pressed flat to acid free museum board. Their packaging was bullet proof !
