I started attending the Redlands Antique Auction just before the pandemic and was dazzled by the high quality antiques that were always coming through. When it transitioned to online, it was a fun way to spend part of my Saturday while I did chores, running over to my laptop to bid as my items came up. It was always a pleasant experience when picking up my treasures; all the staff are so friendly and helpful, and insisted on loading everything in my van for me. Then I fell in love with a man in Palm Desert and it was time to downsize my 5 bedroom Victorian home in Los Angeles and sell it. The Redlands Auction staff made the long drive to come out and accepted about 90% of my offerings and spread them out between 2 auctions. I was more than pleased with what my antiques brought in, and it saved me so much time trying to sell them another way. Now it's a couple years down the road I am back in the buying market again to add my own touch to our desert and mountain homes, and of course Redlands Auction is where I turn! I have gotten some AH-mazing deals! read more

I am a first time buyer. I find fare prices and quality merchandise. Special thank you to Roy for his honesty and guidance.

Consistently excellent in terms of selection, pricing and service. Highly recommended.

Good auction house, however auction invoice was $51.36:and since they do not have in-house shipping they use UPS , my shipping bill from UPS is $118.45. So may be auction staff should not put shipping or inform buyers in advance that shipping will be handled by UPS. read more

Drove to Redlands on a whim, hoping to find a new buffet table. We drove by this location and decided to stop in. The items inside are incredible and the gentleman walking around was busy but very helpful in explaining how it all worked. We are looking forward to placing our first bids on the items we liked! This place is definitely worth a stop! read more

Instead of a vintage lithograph, they seem to prefer "pictures". I would not believe a single 5 star review. I have heirloom pieces, a lot of them. I sent sample photos. For example, a vintage framed Allegre scene of "Venice" , a lithograph worth a glimpse, however they did not offer to come and view anything. 1930's Radio, Victorian Square Piano desk, marble base garment display rack, the Charles Levier? No, no class. I enjoy experimenting with the referrals I receive, to discover the whole story, and leave reviews that will reflect the truth of the matter. RAA-1 star read more

Sold our Mom's lovely antiques here from her estate. Emotional to let go, but Ron made it as EZ as possible. Auction was one day. Received our check in 3 days w/ a very detailed breakdown of items sold & deduction of their commission, which is very fair. Will definitely do business w/ them again. read more

I am so happy I made the connection with this fine company. Redlands Auction came to my place to purchase a large quantity of antique furniture I had for sale. Every part of this transaction was exactly as it should be, with no surprises and every promise kept. I received a fair price for my things and can now move on with my plans. The buyer, Kenny, is a gentleman and certainly knows his business. The men who came to load the items were courteous, careful and thorough. The job was done on time and exactly as outlined. Everyone worked quietly and quickly without disturbing any of my nearby neighbors. I could not ask for a better experience. If you are considering selling your items, you would do well to speak with Redlands Auction. read more

This review is for people looking to sell items. I came here a few months ago to drop off a few items for consignment. The workers were very professional and helpful. One of the managers came out, and talked about how the system works. They take about 25% off the top. They gave an estimate, and never made any promises except that they will do their best to sell our items. About a week after our auction date, a check came vial mail. For me, time is money and these people do a lot of the leg work and busy body stuff. Yes, they take a portion but this is a business and how they make their living. Overall, we were very pleased with the entire process. read more

Why pay retail prices when you can buy at wholesale levels? I have furnished my Victorian home with items purchased at this business. Better know your value though, as you could spend too much for something that you MUST have. Staff here are very professional and the evening moves along quite quickley. I will return with my credit card and see what else I can buy. read more

What a great business. These guys know their antiques and know how to run an auction. They have always treated me and my wife with the utmost respect and professionalism. It is a fun atmosphere on auction day, and Ron and Roy are always helpful and honest about their items up for bid. read more

I have been going to Redlands Antique Auction now going on ten years. I have bought everything from a antique couch to a Grandfather's Clock. The owners are knowlegeable, and skilled. Auctions are quick paced, and pretty much everything sells. If you want a crack at antique furniture and jewelry at a fair price, this is the place. read more

My boyfriend and I love antique furniture and collectibles. This past Sat, 8/25/18, I decided we would try something new and attend an antique auction. Walking in and not knowing what to expect we were first of all blown away by all the beautiful items in the auction preview. Since we were new to the auction scene we spent the evening just watching and learning and asking questions about how the auction worked. Everyone was so nice and helpful, the staff made themselves available before the auction for any questions. As it was summer, it was warm in the auction warehouse, so I would suggest bringing a small cooler, some caffeine since the auction can run several hours into the evening and something to snack on in case you get hungry. The auction is done at a fast pace and it can be exciting. I was amazed at some of the items and what they went for, unfortunately most of the items I had my eye on went for higher prices than I wanted to spend, but I saw some great bargains had on some beautiful antique furniture and paintings. We can't wait to come back next month and hopefully pick up a few pieces to add to our home!i read more

I contacted this place recently to inquire about selling some trunks. When I called a spoke to a Ron who right off the bat did not seem too interested in speaking with me, was abrupt over the phone and just gave me his email address and asked for pictures. I sent him them the same day to which he did respond right away explaining that they charge 30% fee and that the trunks even though old ( 125 yrs) were only worth between $100- 200, which I did actually agree and decided to try my luck on craigslist. I then emailed him back regarding an antique upright grand piano that is in excellent condition both inside and out. I let him know that I was hoping for 2k but understood the market right now is not the best. The response back was a single lined email stating he could not help.. Not sorry we don't deal in that why don't you try this or nice thanks but the market is not for this type of piece. I guess the problem I had with them is you would figure that for 30% fee there would be more of an interest to sell or at the very least give some friendly advise on what to do to sell since that is supposedly what they do every day. What he failed to appreciate is that while he may not have been able to help me if he was a little nicer, showed more interest I may have recommended them to family, friends, etc if there was a future need to sell antiques. I guess I am old fashioned to expect a little nicety in our not nice world today... Needless to say I will never contact them again. read more

The auctions here are a lot of fun. The owners are hands-on and will discuss items with you if you show up during preview events. The selection is eclectic and there are treasures aplenty. You can arrange for delivery if your item is too large for your vehicle. If you need to furnish a home, this is more affordable than retail and the quality can be better even if your item is 100 years old. Check it out. read more

Great antique furniture and bric-a-brac.

I have been doing business with Redlands Antique Auction for well over a decade. Whenever I had them sell something for me, I received a fair price. Whenever I bought something, I got it for a fair price. I have always been treated professionally and courteously. They are knowledgeable and if they don't know about something, they are eager to look ok it up. Their passion for what they buy and sell is what keeps me coming back. I also found them to be honest yet compassionate when I needed to part with some of the items from my mother's estate. They helped me see the actual value of some things and the lesser of others. While they had been important to us, some tens were really not sellable for the price we had expected. They were right on the money in both cases. It's not an easy line to walk, but they have very accurate knowledge of the market. I trust them wholeheartedly. read more

Had a recent experience with Redlands Antique Auction as an out of state absentee bidder that was exceeding positive. This is a professionally run business that knows how to take care of their customers. I would not hesitate to trust them with your bids. Their post auction process and attention to detail when it came to shipping was excellent. Am looking forward to bidding on more good things in the future. read more

Best hidden secret in Redlands! We recently moved to Redlands and restored a 1909 Craftsman home and furnished the entire home with furnishings we purchased at Redlands Antique Auction! Ron is the best and always takes care of his customers and goes the extra mile. Great selection of antiques! read more

I have been doing business with Ron & Roy @ Redlands Antique Auction for over 20 years now, & have always found them to be Professional, courteous, civic-minded Hands-On & HONEST. Every 3rd Sat., They feature a vast array of nice quality real pre -1930 Antiques & Collectables--at refreshingly reasonable prices. They also have a few box lots of restorable items for those new to the hobby, or looking for a bargain. Recently, they began to feature more than a few Mid-Century Modern Pieces as well. I consign items several times yearly, and am always pleased with my "cut" from the sale....esp. the speedy 2-3 day arrival of my winnings check in my mailbox! While it's true you won't find any low-end trunks and anyone who knows Ron also knows that he'll Never sell Another Piano as Long as He Lives, what you will find is a completely different selection of Nice Antiques, artfully arranged, every Auction. They even have a kickin' Snack - Bar! Best of Luck to All @ RAA! You folks WORK for IT!! read more

I was very pleased with my experience in having some furniture auctioned by Redlands. I felt that they were very fair and worked to get me the best price that they could get for me. I thought the price was fair for me and fair for the buyers. read more

The auctioneer panders to the regular dealers, so if you don't attend on a regular basis don't expect the auctioneer to take much notice of you as he will drop the hammer quickly for his regulars. By doing this the auctioneer is doing a disservice to his sellers because he's not getting them the very best money for their items. So whether you're a buy or a seller I would not recommend this auction house. read more
