McGinty Auction House is run by a young woman named Justine and her family. It is a small, locally…read moreowned business in the Clinton area- and one that I'm always happy to support. You can tell the small group of employees are a tight-knit group that really do always try to put their best foot forward. I've looked through the items this auction house offers multiple times and I'm always really impressed with their array. They have everything from furniture to home décor to tools to lawn equipment to gardening supplies to toys and games and collectables. Literally everything. Whether you love antiques, resell items, or want something new for your home at a ridiculously affordable price; this is the place to get it. They hold auctions weekly and are always very professional in the way they handle everything. Everything is clearly and neatly displayed and pictures are even posted on their Facebook group so you can get an idea of everything they are offering and decide if there are items you'd like to bid on up for grabs. Most auction houses now-a-days are still a bit 'old school' so I REALLY appreciate the fact that they advertise a lot of their items online so I can get a fair idea of what they are offering before I make the trip to Clinton. I haven't seen any other auction house that also posts great high-quality photos of their items online. I've discussed with Justine about her selling my items, and she's been very honest with me about the way she does business and has offered me her services in a fair manner. Compared to other auction houses I've spoken with, McGinty Auctions definitely has the friendliest reps and they're always willing to go above and beyond the call of duty in ensuring all of my questions are answered, and my concerns are addressed. Every time I call they pick up their phone and they're more than happy to talk me through everything. Whether you're looking to sell a lot of your old things, or you want to bid on some new things- this auction house is by far the best in the Illinois / Iowa area. I've been to a few different auction houses and this one always stands out as the one that offers the best service, the most diverse array of items, and the best prices. They have A LOT of furniture that can be upcycled for a profit- and also a ton of great items to sell on eBay. Totally worth visiting when you have some spare change to spend. There's always a treasure to be found here!

This was for a total of 13 very small pieces, and they feel like Material/Box and Labor to pack is worth $43.80 and the Shipping charge is $38.35. I dont know when these auction companies decided that they would make shipping their big money maker. The strike fee was less profit than their overpriced shipping charges are going to net. All I have to say is if you are a bidder and want your stuff shipped expect to be gouged on the unknown side with the shipping charges. I wish they wouldn't feel the need to nickel and dime people out of more money and its getting to the point that I will just no longer bid on items because the added strike fees and insane shipping charges make the item no longer worth it.

I will never buy a gun from them again. I have bought 7 guns…read moreover the last five years from them. Recently bought an Over/Under 12ga that was sold as "Mechanically excellent" only to find that the lower barrel wouldn't fire. The auction house requested I send a quote from a gunsmith for repair. I had it inspected to find that the firing pin was broken and was sold in that state. $450 for repairs. RIA offered a $100 credit for parts only and said that "mechanically excellent" is an opinion of their staff and they do not test their guns. I am in my 30's and, god willing, have another 30+ years of gun buying left. I will never purchase for them again as they sell broken guns. I will, however, be selling all my broken guns on their site and I have been recommending all I know to do the same. Poor business strategy RIA

Buyer Beware - Overall Experience…read more I have purchased from Sharpless Auctions many times, always hoping to find a good deal. Unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing. I have received far more damaged or unusable merchandise than items in satisfactory condition. In my experience, many items appear to be damaged merchandise returned from retailers such as Amazon, Target, and Costco. I have received items that were so badly damaged they were completely unusable. Packaging is also frequently torn, heavily damaged, dirty, or has a mildew-like odor. I have also experienced purchased items being unavailable or missing at pickup. They claim they will look for the items and if not found will reimburse you a week later. I have heard similar complaints from other buyers while picking up merchandise there. Another concern is that listing photos do not always clearly show the extent of damage, making it difficult to accurately assess an item's condition before bidding. I strongly recommend inspecting items in person whenever possible. Buyers should also be aware of the 7% sales tax and 15% buyer's premium, which add approximately 22% to the final bid price. I understand this is a "buyer beware" auction and that the auction house states it is not responsible for damaged or missing items. However, I believe potential buyers should be aware of these risks before bidding. I am sharing my personal experience so others can make an informed decision. My advice is to proceed with extreme caution, inspect items carefully, and consider whether the potential savings are worth the risks and additional fees.
