    I recently finished working with this company on an estate sale for my in-laws and would HIGHLY…read morerecommend them. My husband, his sister and I were facing moving/removing a massive amount of furniture and household goods on a fairly short timeline (from a rental) which was a daunting, stressful task in our eyes. Clay, Dudley and Lynne made us feel completely comfortable and handled everything for us from unboxing stored items, setting up, pricing, running the sale and arranging for a charity to come fill a truck with what was left. The charity was also just as professional. I've never used an estate sales company before so the first thing I did was to educate myself on what to look for. I attended sales of seven different companies and evaluated them on a whole list of things including 1) greeting customers, 2) good signage, 3) clear and neat tagging, 4) clearly marked stairways for safety, 5) background research to ensure they had been in business at least ten years, etc. I chose the top two (which included Absolute Estate Sales) and interviewed them in person with a big list of questions. You'll find good questions if you research estatesales.net. I was pleasantly surprised by the detailed accounting of each item sold which was a bit complicated since we had items from three families. I will recommend this company to friends and family members facing a downsizing like ours. They took all of the potential stress out of it!

    My husband and I met with Lynne and Dudly Collums of Absolute Estate Sales to have them arrange a…read moresale of household furnishings. They met with us in a timely manner, picked dates for the 3 day sale, and signed a contract with my husband. We chose Absolute Estate Sales because of a recommendation from a friend and based on their website. The website clearly explains the sale process and what they will do before, during, and after the sale. We were impressed by the thoroughness that they showed in their explanations. http://www.absoluteestatesales.net/index.php During the contract discussion, Dudly asked us what we wanted done with items that were left from the sale. He said that they had a charity that they work with. We asked that they call the charity to remove unsold items. This was agreed on, but it was not put into the contract. He said that the trash would be bagged and put on the back deck. This was stated in the contract. The Absolute Estate Sale crew came in, marked, and arranged all items. They did an amazing job, since there was a huge amount of furnishings and household items. They took 79 pictures, which they displayed on their website. Their publicity was good. When we drove by the sale, they always had a lot of people there. They took 30% of the proceeds, which seemed reasonable to us and was the agreed upon amount. A check was provided in a timely manner and delivered by registered mail. It cleared, as expected. Overall, we were satisfied with the way our sale was handled by Absolute Estate Sales. They did fulfill all of the terms of the written contract. However, we did have some surprises. According to the website, a sale recap is to be provided. That did not happen, nor was it in the contract. We had expected a cleared out house. It was not. If a charity was called, as Dudly said it would be, we did not see any sign of it, nor were we provided with a donation slip. After the sale we were left with unsold items. We removed about 30 boxes of books and 10 bags of clothing. The clothing had been mostly bagged and piled into the bathtub. A sofa bed was left. Most of the trash was on the deck, and so were two older, but working tvs. They were rained on. There was a small amount of trash scattered about the house and garage. Two doors that were taken off their hinges were still off the hinges. I estimate that we had about 24 man-hours of work to do to completely empty the house and dispose of the household items. Perhaps it was our misunderstanding, but we didn't expect this. I would suggest having EVERYTHING spelled out in the contract. Overall, we were satisfied. I give this company a solid 4 stars. My rating is based on several things. They did a lot of hard work getting ready for the sale and selling our items. I would give them 5 stars for the before and during the sale implementation. After the sale would be about 2 1/2 stars for the lack of follow through. I would be happy to recommend them or to hire them again.

    Equip Bids is a Local staging platform for sellers. The auctions range from estate sales,…read morewarehouse liquidation, to Amazon and online reselling. All lots are as is. The distance away is listed. Auctions are across MO, KS, OK, NE.... Make sure to read the descriptions of the items. Some are new, most are as is, open box. Most resellers will have a per item handling fee and most have limited pick up options. I've spent thousands over the years on everything from Art, Clothes, Plates, knives, coffee, tea, protien shakes, air mattresses.... I have had to donate or toss a couple things over the years, but that's the nature of online auctions!

    AVOID AT ALL COST! They use the "As Is" clause to avoid Ethically refunding you for a $200 item…read morethat did not work when plugged in at pick up. Never mentioned that the popcorn popper was untested. One would assume you are buying it with the dirt and all, but at minimum if it didn't work then that should have been disclosed! They essentially robbed school kids out of $200. I bid on 3 items from a liquidation sale in a retirement community in Gladstone. I bought what was described as an electric wide recliner chair. It was obvious there was no cords when we saw it. Just your standard cheap used recliner. It wasn't even a wide seat. When my husband brought it to Equip-Bids employee's attention she blamed it on A.I. changing the description. She offered us a full refund for her "A.I "mess up. We had brought a trailer and was looking for having the item described for a disabled Veteran. It was extremely disappointing and a major undertaking getting a room cleared out for this purchase. Let alone the disappointment to the veteran who was looking forward to his purchase. We then went to locate the popcorn popper that we spent nearly $200 on. When we plugged it in it did not run properly. Nothing was mentioned that it was non working nor not tested. My husband went to talk to the employee supervisor, but she had stepped out for a moment. We went and got the third item which was another chair and it was worn but usable. When we had a chance to speak to the supervisor regarding our purchase of the popcorn machine, I explained to her that it was not working properly. I also made it very clear that it was being purchased for a school event and that they were going to be very disappointed that we are unable to deliver. There were 4 employees that kept telling me everything is being sold "as is". I explained that that should not include not working or not functioning properly. No one would have purchased a machine like this for the amount of money we spent if there was any indication it did not work properly. Even mark it as "untested". I wouldn't have bid at all. They know that people typically don't pay much if it's disclosed as untested or non working. One of the employees, the only male at the retirement home pickup made a comment that I was upset because it didn't work as fast as I would have liked. The motor was seized up from sitting for who knows how long. Instead of doing the right thing and making a good ethical decision to refund me for obvious garbage, Sidney told me I needed to waste more time and leave the machine at the site for them to first reach out to their manager to determine if they would authorize a refund. I was told that they would not authorize a refund if I took the machine I paid for. The auction ended at 4:00. My husband received a message after 4:00 that they declined to refund us and now we had to go out of our way to pick up between 11:00 am and 2:00PM on the following Wednesday or forefoot our $200 purchase all together. Nope no need to go to work... must jump through hoops to accommodate this company. No consideration at all! This Company has the worst unprofessional customer service, absolutely unethical in their business dealings, and makes excuses for their human errors when it comes to properly describing the item being auctioned. We are going to report our situation to the Attorney General's office as "as is" needs to be less broader and more consistent with the condition of the item in terms of scratches, dents, dirt etc Not functionality. That needs to be stated separately if it's an electronic. We also plan on letting everyone know what our experience has been. We have spent thousands of dollars buying from Equip-bids affiliates in the past, but it is to the point they are using the "as is" clause to steal your money. a good 40 to 50% of what we have purchased has been incomplete, non working , not the same item listed, or just pure broken or dirty trash. This $200 used popcorn popper is pure trash that they are fully aware of but chose not to do the right thing and refund us. They will also tell you that there is a preview day, but most people won't see their auction until the day of closing as in our case. That does not excuse the fact they do not accurately describe the item being auctioned. Deception. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... save yourself your time and money and read all of Equip-bids negative feedback... these are real people being mistreated and conned by this company. I can only think that the few positive feedback responses are from the employees and owners. I wish now that I would have done my research and checked out the terrible feedback first. I feel like I personally lost these kids funds The contact of each person who was responsible for this auction. This information was posted on the Equip-bid auction that I am referencing.
