There is a parking lot but it's quite small. There are different booths and each one is labeled with any sales that might be going on, but there aren't many staff members, so it was kind of difficult to shop. There are a lot of items that are locked in cabinets and you would presumably have to grab someone from the first floor to unlock it if you wanted to have a closer look. I wasn't trying to spend a ton anyways and am usually happy just browsing, so I just got a small ceramic cup that wasn't locked in anything. There was a booth on the first floor selling fine jewelry and tennis bracelets that were gorgeous but out of my price range. There were a ton of eclectic interesting things here, some kind of grimy and some in pristine condition--truly a one man's trash is another's treasure sort of place. I would definitely come again to browse.

But it is also accessible by Lechmere station. We found some cool paintings and a decorative dish. I would come back here! You can pay by card and the workers were friendly.

Nothing, well, for the most part is without some type of none perfect condition - so, you have to look carefully and IF you decide to bid on something you've seen I would take time stamped pics of the item at the time you looked it over - so IF it is damaged when you go to pic up it up you can prove it. The online bids really pick up rapid pace the last few minutes so take close attention. The Marlboro Showrooms seem to have a lower standard of quality than Boston - especially in the jewelry and silver area.

Usually in life when someone acts in such ways it says more about them. You can get some reasonable deals... but there are other auction houses that treat people and items in kinder and more professional ways.

How can I take a good picture? I don't know if I have time for this...) and when I found LRN I thought I would do some stress outsourcing. LRN does everything for you, from taking gorgeous professional photos to giving you the option of shipping your clothes and accessories to them. Siblings Eric and Andrea are incredibly kind and great at their jobs. They manage their sales on multiple platforms giving the consigner a greater chance of selling and their consigner agreements are very generous. Plus they have been great communicators and available through email for my questions and any updates. I tried to get some quotes from other local consigners and left with some low quotes for classic pieces. Use Luxury Resale Network if you're looking to get fair prices and great service. Thank you Eric and Andrea!!

Found this coin zippy wallet in this blue Epi using the Tradesy app. Wow what a steal I price I got this item for. This piece retails $430 brand new, and this piece I got for $135. The pics on tradesy did not do it justice. The leather had no cracks, and a minor boo boo here and there on the outside but over all this piece is in pretty good condition for being made in 2013. It's 6yrs old plus now. Super happy with the item, the purchase and this company! Thanks for the a smooth transaction and super fast shipping. I'll have to check you guys out again!

Many of the poor reviews here, have to do with the fact that the people writing them don't understand the terms and conditions of Maxsold or the auction process in general. The company is VERY TRANSPARENT. For example, if one wants to get a legitimate feel for how much items can sell for, I suggest they go to the Past Auctions results, where visitors can see what items have actually sold for at the end of every auction. NO OTHER AUCTION COMPANY that I know of lists such an extensive past auction history - for free. (This Past Auctions Record is also a valuable tool for pricing research) The fact that all items start at $1.00 and sell without reserve, (aka Absolute Auction) is the secret sauce. The absolute auction model is overall the most successful and most popular format in the auction industry. As far as claims that Maxsold doesn't do any advertising, many of you reading this realize that this isn't true. They extensively advertise on all major social media fronts, TV and Radio. After holding over 30 auctions with Maxsold, I've never gotten ONE late payment. Below are core metrics from a recent auction I had on Maxsold with some collectibles, bric-a-brac and coins etc. I CANNOT get those kind of results ANYWHERE else for these kinds of items! 1. Almost 8,000 views! 2. 3071 Bids! 3. 99.62% sell through! I love the auction industry, I've been in it since the late 1970s and I just hate to see a good company bashed by people who don't understand the auction process, Maxsold is a good company. If I had a better place to sell my estate finds, I would use it! Thank You for Indulging!
