DO NOT SELL THROUGH THIS AUCTION! I am absolutely devastated at the results I've received by…read moreselling a large chunk of my mom's estate of antiques and original artwork through this auction. I've sold items through auctions before and my family has a long history in antiques and art, so I know the number of good quality items that I had. There was ruby glass, depression glass, pieces of Hall and McCoy, plus many professionally framed original paintings and more. My items should have easily sold for much, much more. I am also extremely upset that they grouped some of the original paintings together, and did not sell them off individually. My results from them selling more than 7 boxes of antiques and collectibles, more than 5 large framed original paintings, numerous other framed pieces of art, a box of embroidered antique linens, a vintage American flag, a small handcrafted wooden bench and more came to a total of only $69. Never in my worst nightmare could I have imagined results this horrible. I wish other sellers had posted their results from selling at this auction, as I would never have considered it if I had known this horrible of an outcome might be possible. Writing this as a warning to anyone else considering selling estate items at this auction. If anyone was at the June 2024 auction and wants to sell any original paintings you purchased back to me, please contact me at debgillian@gmail.com. Wish so badly that I'd at least held onto the paintings to feel a little less devastated by the outcome of this auction.
