We have consigned to McMillan Bros several times and are always paid promptly. They make an effort to accurately describe our merchandise. I would do business with them again. read more

Avoid McMillan auction service at all costs. Dirty location, antiquated processing and absolutely rude owner. I have had many issues over numerous years with this company. They are not good about posting good descriptions or taking very good photos. Always leaving key information out and then being upset when the buyer points that out. Today was the straw that broke the camel's back. Horrible photos and completely WRONG description led me to win the auction and when I went to pick the item up it wasn't what they tried to sell it as. I said as much and the owner gave me a spiel that it was my fault. I won't be doing any more business with them and you shouldn't either. read more

DO NOT BUY ITEMS FROM THIS AUCTION COMPANY! THEY FALSELY ADVERTISE THEIR ITEMS! On October 7, I made a purchase to McMillan Brothers for $20.99 for an advertised aquamarine stone. Yes, I know an aquamarine is an expensive stone but that's besides the point as it was advertised as an aquamarine, not "aquamarine like". When the stone arrived, I held onto it until I could get a jeweler to validate the stone that I purchased from them. I took it to a jeweler on 11/20 and they ran 3 separate tests on the stone. Come to find out, the stone is a fake. So, therefore, this is a fraudulent sale on their part. I contacted the company and they refuse to refund my money even though the don't say anything in their auction details about not being responsible for verifying that what they are selling is as advertised, just that they don't validate the worth of the item, which is not what I'm claiming. I would like to have my money refunded. $20 may not be much to some, but things are difficult for some of us during Covid and to be fraudulently sold an item that isn't what it was advertised as is disheartening. I expect more from an American business than to operate like that! read more

We have spent a bit of money here over the last several years... It is really hit or miss sometimes... Some good deals but alot of junk sometimes.. The online auction through hibid is a sure improvement over proxy bid... We have done both in person and online... I would like to see better pictures and descriptions for the online auction... Infant I almost gave them a 2 instead of three because of purchasing a vehicle which the pictures were pretty misleading... read more

Pretty heartless people, I would avoid doing business with them at all costs. They pick over items that are in lots such as stacks of vinyls and cards and remove valuable ones. Essentially leaving you with the remainder which is mostly garbage. I've seen them do this on several occasions now, and I have purchased items from them as well that they said were tested and do not work at all. They lie to get bids as high as possible for their consigners. The people they don't care about are the buyers. read more

My wife and I have been going to the McMillan Bros auctions for the last three years. It's been our date outing a couple of times a month. We live an hour's drive away but still go to this auction house over all the others in the region as it is consistently the most friendly and best-run auction house we've found. Every last person there is friendly and jovial. Even the auction-goers here have more of a party or family-gathering vibe instead of the fierce competition and back-stabbing gamesmanship I've found elsewhere. It's just plain fun to attend one of their auctions. Recently we've also taken to having them sell some of our items. We've been to enough auctions to know that our precious sentimental family heirlooms are not necessarily going to sell for huge amounts of money (people go to auctions to buy at bargain prices after all, and items don't have the same sentimental value to them) and we've actually been happily surprised at how much some of our items did bring. We would never bring a sewing machine to an action for instance, since we know they are heavy, bulky, and not in high resale demand, and thus will likely be sold at a disappointing price. But some vintage jewelry or old items from the barn can be a pleasing eye-opener on the return. They do right by us. I noticed a comment here about employees bidding on items. Employees do bid on the rare occasion, but not with ANY favoritism or early closing of the bid so friends or family will win. Instead the opposite seems to happen with them giving extra time on closing bids to be extra-sure they are being fair if an employee has the current high bid, which usually means they only get it if there is no real interest in the audience (how much can one afford to buy with an auction helper's pay?). The auctioneer himself of course never bids at all, as is proper. In an auction of 600 items the employees might walk away with 3-4 items total. I have a hard time faulting them on that. In three years and many dozens of auctions I've never felt in competition with an employee. read more

INTEGRITY is completely missing from this company. They let their employees bid, the same employees who are allowed in before the auction. The same ones who drop the hammer early while their wife is the high bidder. They also open up lots for choice only when they want something out of the lot and don't want to pay for everything. (like what their customers have to do) Also the slowest most boring auctioneers in the history of auctions. read more

Steve contacted me via facebook about a 1950's singer sewing machine, model 66 I had for sale in the local buy, sell, trade group. He said he wanted to buy it so he could sell it at their auction house and insisted I take the machine there and guaranteed to buy it. So I drove quite a distance to their location and brought my sewing machine inside and the lady working the desk said "Its not a feather weight" I said I know its a 66 model singer, just like the ad stated. She rudely said that they do not want it and it is not worth anything! In most cases buyers come to you when doing local sales, I was guaranteed they would buy my antique if I drove to them, I wasted gas and time all for a rude letdown. Vary unprofessional, terrible and dirty location, They are not people of their words at all, P.S. My ad was vary descriptive of the year, make, and model of the machine, if they assumed or were unsure Steve still should of followed through. read more

I tried to go to auction today. Web site and email that they sent me Yesterday both were start times for 3:30 so I showed up at about 3:10. They were done already. The very nice lady I have known for years called the next facility to let them know I was coming.They had not started at the next location so I shot up there. They were just finishing when I got there. No apology. Was told we were on his time not ours. WOW. I have been going to these facilities since they opened... sad I wont be able to go anymore. Can not afford to waste my time chasing an auctioneer that is partial to bidders! DON'T USE HIM! Just be warned... not a good auctioneer in my book. read more

I have been to a lot of auctions and this one is not worth the time. The owner will bring his own stuff to the auction and if he doesn't get the price he wants, he just moves on to the next item. The auctioneer is also very rude and arrogant. I would rather watch paint dry then listen to these two fumble around and screw everything up. read more

Professional, Well Run Auction House. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The negative reviews here all sound like armatures or first time auction goers who are not familiar with how the auction business works. As someone who has been going to auctions for 50+ years I can tell you that this is a very good and reputable operation. Highly Recommended read more
