    Speaking from the other side of an auction, set up by a landlord (and after a lockout during rent…read morenegotiations) to sell the assets of a 30-year medical college and clinic. While it was hard to watch from afar, I was impressed by how professionally they operated. Having glimpsed how this process works, if I were in charge of liquidating assets, I would work with Sierra.

    Sierra Auction is a big auction house locally in Tucson & Phoenix …read more They auction weekly cars & trucks ,merchandise , recreational boats , motorcycles ,rv 's and more in an online auction . I've always been intrigued watching the cars & trucks auctioned . The sellers can be government & municipal vehicles , charity donations , government police seizures . Some vehicles have reserve prices that must be met to seller said vehicle. You must pay taxes & fees based on sales price & other added fees that add up but probably similar but different from a dealership . You must register & put a deposit to bid . If you fail to perform on a winning bid your charged 14% of your winning bid . Fridays score the Saturday auctions you may view & start the card only . That said there's some good deals & " duds " both if guess . They also auction miscellaneous items ,store returns & more. There is a big helpful staff that has been most helpful in my recent first time buyer experience . Sold ! Sold! Sold ! Located north of prince rd just east of I -10 freeway in an old industrial area .

    I have been buying things for years from R&R and always had a positive experience with them. A few…read moremonths ago I decided to start taking my piles of items from abandoned storage units and let R&R auction auction them off for me. As a consigner I've been very happy with everything. I just drop it off and mark it with my consigner ID and they literally do the rest! They're all so friendly and a pleasure to work with as well. I recommend

    WORST PLACE EVERY!!!! BEAWARE!!!! I am so disappointed in this auction house. I had over 267…read moreitems to be auctioned off. These items where from a family collection that was worth a lot more than $10.00 each. The fees are crazy. $5.00 minimum commission if they sale for $10.00 If they don't sale, they still get $5.00. Then there is the $3.00 lot fee for items as well. They make out like a bandit. I had a lot of chinse cloisonne items that were worth a lot more and majority of them sold for only $10.00. They take half of whatever the final price is for items that are sold. What a ripe off. My grandparents and my mom would be so disappointed in me. I felt like I was taken for a ride and then left on the side of the road to fend for myself. Communication is crap! My items were sold on 05.28.26; I had to keep coming back to ask them about getting my money. I kept getting the run around, like, "an item was not sold, or we haven't received the payment yet." After going back every month, I finally got my money on 09.06.26. 3 Months later. They were very rude and unpleasant to deal with. When, I looked at the check I was so pissed off, I wanted to give them the check back. But I kept it and thought, people really need to know that this auction house, takes forever to pay, cheats you out of your own money. The itemized list that they give you breaks it done as to what each price went for in the auction. Hell, if I was a collector and a cheapskate, I would come here to get my collection, then turn around and sale whatever I could for a larger profit. That is how I feel about this auction house. This place is a joke. I had some more stuff to see if I could sale, and thought, "why I am just going to get jerked around again!" I gave the rest of my stuff to goodwill. I know someone will like what I had and appreciate it a lot more.

    As I knew he would do eventually because he does it with almost every one-star review (there are so…read moremany of them!), Bo Patrick came along and whined that he had somehow been mistreated by clients deeply unhappy with his service. Our contract with Fidelity stated that the sale would include artwork. It did not specify oil paintings. We did ask Fidelity to auction artwork, and all the artwork we wanted to offer for sale was photographed weeks ahead of the auction by Fidelity's employees or agents. To be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. In his reply to my original review, Bo claims that "The day before the auction [my family] removed $20,000 in artwork and now you are upset because we charged you a commission to do that but that's exactly what the contract allows us to do." First of all, it's quite a shock to read that we owned artwork worth $20,000, because that's not what Bo told us at the time. He gave us a much more modest assessment of the paintings' value. Second, regardless of the worth of the paintings, that is not what happened. I don't know if Bo's memory is so poor that he cannot recall the events of his sale with us, if he is so lazy that he did not bother to check the facts, or if he is sufficiently deficient in honesty that he doesn't care about the facts. But his account is wrong. Bo knew that the oil paintings would not be for sale. We had a Zoom meeting with him and Kelsee more than three weeks before the auction in which he tried to persuade us to let Fidelity sell the oil paintings and our father's home; thank God we never seriously entertained the idea of letting him sell the house. But we told him immediately after the Zoom meeting that we had decided against selling the oil paintings. When Bo originally talked to us about the paintings, he wanted to have an online auction, so that people all over the world could bid on them. But that never happened, because we told them weeks ahead of time that the oil paintings would not be included. Again, to be clear: WE DID NOT ALLOW FIDELITY TO PHOTOGRAPH FOR THE AUCTION ANY ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS OR ADVERTISE THEM FOR SALE ON THEIR WEBSITE. You cannot believe anything Bo says. He whines that he "had buyers from all around Arizona and other states drive-in for those paintings.... When they arrived, they were very upset with us as an Auction firm.... You affected our reputation that day big time." But if Bo had people traveling from out of state to bid on items we told Bo were not for sale and did not let Fidelity photograph or advertise for the auction, well, that sounds very suspect to me. It is by no means our fault if Bo advertised for sale things he knew would NOT be for sale. We did not affect his reputation--HE did. If people were upset with him that day, it is entirely his fault. Bo won in our lawsuit against Fidelity not because the contract let him charge a commission (the judge agreed that it was a very badly written contract and did not redound to Bo's favor) but because, as I stated before, at the hearing, the judge allowed one and only one witness to speak: Bo's partner Kelsee Wirtjes. Please read my original review to see what happened next. In the time since I posted my original review, Fidelity has received two more five-star reviews, but three more one-star reviews. Their previously poor rating is even worse now--and it's entirely their own fault. The crucial point remains the one with which I concluded my original review: Why would you hire an estate sale company who is so disliked by most people who have hired it? Learn from our mistakes. Stay away from Bo Patrick. Don't believe his unctuous denials. However much he tries to shift the blame for his bad reviews to the people foolish enough to hire him, the fact nonetheless remains that most people who hire him to run an estate sale are extremely unhappy with his services.

    A friend recommended this company to me for the sale of my mom's home. One of our family members…read morereached out (before I signed anything with this company) and said they prefer to go with a family friend realtor instead (keep in mind this family member waited until I had found Fidelity to bring up this other realtor which was frustrating for me but here we are). So I kindly reached out to Fidelity's team and thanked them for their time. The next morning I got a text from Bo saying I wasted all of their time?? LOL. DO NOT INQUIRE ABOUT THEIR SERVICES because apparently they will get mad at you for wasting their time?! ABSURD that this poor man would text me something like that while I'm grieving the loss of my mother. Well, CLEARLY I dodged a bullet :)
