Just bid/bought an artwork at a spring auction hosted by Hodgins Art Auctions. This is an auction…read morehouse you can feel great buying from. I was so impressed by the ease of bidding, the professionalism and efficiency and the helpfulness of staff, especially manager Kevin King. If you aren't confident about buying at auction, or this is your first time, start with this establishment. It was a totally pleasurable experience!

I purchased an item in a single lot on december 23. The item was listed as appears to be missing…read moretwo parts, the faceplate and worm. In the picture the face plate was clwarly not missing. The worm is not a part on the machine in any way. After bidding on the lot, winning it and purchasing it. We arrived to pick it up. Well loadung the items i had won in all the lots. The auctioneer heard a clunk from the machine i had purchased. He than opened the lid and found a bynch of parts that were included in the lot as they were part of the machine. Assuming they were the parts he listed as missing, he decided to remove the parts from the machine, including over 18 parts... far from two, rendering the machine useless. He than adnitted bluntly in message to him as i confrinted him of what i had seen from across the lot, as i couldnt address it that day cause he left somewhere inside and i was on a short time limit. My passenger and assistant confirmed to me what i thought i saw, so after addressing it over message. The owner and auctioneer admitted to removing the parts and stated he was selling them personally to a different customer he had that needed the part. After catching him in lying about how the parts got into the machine and why he removed them. He decided to stop replying as he has probably already sold the parts. He sells parts and items from the auction that sellers putting it in his hands do not know about at his otger "store" ice cold equipment canada. He claims to be a realestate agent selling seacans from the yard amd also operates what he claims is a UVC medical clinic from his auction warehouse, under the doctors names of sam, samantha and sammy. This guy is a legit scam artist and its time to take it to the news!

It's a bit of a religious thing for me, the search for an awesome auction for one thing or another…read more Back in Montreal, there were auctions, but they were fundamentally terrible with minimum floor bidding pricing very close to the actual value in a store... but here in Calgary, this place can yield a ton of surprises! I'm talking about Reid's Auction, an odd little bunker and yard across from the old UFA supply yard in the SW. It's really not much to look at, but when you get inside, there's rows and rows of tables full of items of all sorts depending on the theme of the week. You get to walk around and examine the goods the day before or (usually the Monday for Tuesday night auctions, or Friday for Saturday day auctions) and then decide if you want to bid at Auction time. As for how to do it? Walk in with a driver's licence or some sort of id to get a number. Then follow the crowd to make a bid. Wait... don't bid right away, and if there's no bids, the auctioneer will drop the price. Once it hits a level you are willing to start with, make your bid and be prepared to fight other for it. And be prepared to fight, because you never know who wants it too. Just remember to NOT go over what you're comfortable with, because I've seen way too many people bid too much for old stuff. Oh, and there's an additional 15% added on when you pay, the fee to the auction house. Over the years, I've picked up a case of Tetley tea for $3, a large box of Christmas wreaths for $5, some various brand-new furniture for less than $20, LCD computer monitors for less than $10 and all sorts of other stuff for waaaay less than I would have ever paid in a store. And every week, there's usually a theme, sometimes interesting like the lost and found stuff from Greyhound, or a restaurant or bar closure, or the Government of Alberta trying to get rid of old surplus and so on. It's worth taking a look at the site every so often to see what's coming up. It might give you a few interesting Xmas ideas! Good luck bidding! #31 of Yelp's 30-Day Review Challenge

I love thrift stores and this is my favourite one. Its a true charity store with all kinds of…read moretreasures to be found. It is obvious that effort goes in to make sure that stock is not junky or dirty. Staff and volunteers are very willing to help and prices are better than most second-hand stores. Fun to check out the on-going silent auction of artwork, jewelry, collectibles, etc. Furniture tends to sell very quickly because of the prices and value. Several stores and businesses donate to it as well as ordinary folk decluttering or downsizing. You can find everything from Ikea to antiques.

What I found is this, seems to be full of Costco items that have been returned by members or seasonal items that didn't sell. Rows and rows of items that still had the Costco tags on them now at a reduced price. Some reduced a little and others reduced by a fair amount, again know your prices before purchasing. Everything is final sale, so make sure it's in good condition and works before leaving the store. Everything from clothes, footwear, furniture, small appliances to food and out of season items. Definitely set up as a liquidation centre. -inside feels messy and not clean. -cashiers are friendly enough and telling each customers that this is final sale. -staff putting out different items of what they have in stock to sell. -parking literally sucks no other word for it. Be lucky you find a spot. -parking lot is shared with many businesses. Looking for deals then check this place out.
