Lightning auctions provides weekly local auctions, curating items from multiple estate sales or…read moresellers. Items up for sale range from collectibles, to small appliances, art, serving ware, furniture, jewelry, and more. What I like about this auction is that you can preview what's for sale online on Thursday night, in-person on Fridays, and then the auction closes (soft close, so no last-minute sniping) on Sunday. Fast and straightforward, with the benefit of not having to rely on photos only, and no shipping fees since it's local. Condition of items does vary, so you need to review carefully before bidding (everything sold as-is), and check carefully when collecting your won items. I've seen broken things or things you'd find at a garage sale mixed with really expensive items. Items are laid out nicely in a spacious room, and staff are helpful if you have questions. Definitely something fun to check out but make sure to do your due diligence. Tip: closed M-W 12-12:30 for lunch

They really need to improve. I been shopping here for many years and since Greg left it is just not…read morethe same. He used to have nice things and the photos would tell the story. It is highly important to give the bidder the size of the item. Either show the size with a tape measure or list the actual size. I am not happy when the photo shows a large item but when I get receive it the size is smaller. The quality of the offerings are not as good and many times not worth the first bid of $15 plus all the fees that go on top. I have bought about 7 vehicles from this auction house over the years and all were good except one that was a total loss (they refunded). Now they have reserves on almost all the vehicles and you really don't know where the top limit will be. I used to buy lots of furniture and art and now there is a lot less furniture and very little that is good quality. I got many in my family bidding here and they still are doing just that. I hope things will improve enough so that I find good items at a fair price.

I was interested to see how the current items were displayed and was very impressed with the cleanliness of the display. I met with the owner, Kyle , who took the time to explain the process for getting items accepted, the costs associated with listing as well as other important information. He was very knowledgeable and very professional. A friend went with me and we both were very impressed. I will definitely be sending Kyle pictures of item I am interested in auctioning and hopefully he will want the items I am interested in placing in an auction.

She told my wife, she was canceling the service and we needed to find someone else. And we did! A lot more friendly and personable people out there in comparison to this tow company.

Items you can use or something you just love. They are friendly and do a good job on the auction write-ups. Photos are good and very important so that buyers know exactly what they are getting once the auction closes. Rarely do you find broken things here that are in bad shape. I have been happy with everything I won at this auction and I have told all my family who live in the area about them. My son loves sports stuff and magic cards while my other son likes art and collections. It has turned out to be a family thing and when the time comes to unload, I would not hesitate to use this company.

All bids final so be informed on the policies. You can visit on Friday 10-5 to see the actual items you want to bid on, I would highly recommend this step so you are not disappointed when you collect the item(s). It will be your own fault if you don't do the proper research. As an example they have Hexclad cookware. Most of it is brand new but there are gently used products too. On boxes, make sure it still has bar codes, I'd info if you are seeking warranty info as the case may be. Credit Card only, no cash. Pickup happens following auction.
