I've been to several of George's auctions these past two years and have found some great deals…read more I've gotten a lovely couch at an extremely reasonable price, two collectible sewing machines, a few chairs and some wonderful framed prints. Many many years ago I bought an old porcelain table with matching chairs that I still have in use! The estate auctions have some interesting things in them; sometimes I go without any intention to buy. The atmosphere is casual, George is friendly, and you can even bring your own beverages/munchies although they do sell some great food there. My only complaint is the parking. Getting in and out of the place is a little crazy. Getting your stuff out the night of the auction is a little hairy and fast paced too; don't expect any help with heavy items - they're just there to collect your receipt and hand you your goods. Be prepared!

I have been going to George Cole Auctions for 30 years. My experience with them has always been…read morevery positive and wonderful. They have quality items for sale. I have purchased many things from them for my home. I have also sold a few things through the auction house. I have found the customer service to be outstanding. George and Robin are lovely people who are friendly and welcoming to everyone who comes into their auction house. Their staff is totally professional. The only people who deserve any criticism are those who purchase items there and leave what they have purchased in the auction all for weeks on end cluttering up the place. I whole heartedly recommend the George Cole auction house. It deserves a ten star rating. If you go there for auction night, you will find it fun and entertaining. It's a great Saturday night out for everyone. Franceska

While not Christies, this is a very professional and upscale auction in Orange County, NY…read more Finding it takes you along some lovely country roads, but keep your eyes on the road, lots of wildlife, think deer, out for an evening stroll. While the website (www.oldredbarnauction.com) gives you a good idea on whats going to be put up at the monthly (1st Sat of the month) auction, going there is a better idea. You can really see things and look them over carefully. They allow you in, give as much time as you would like and are helpful if you have questions. They have many pieces of furniture, much from older estates being sold. Some come in on consignment. There is artwork there, often some interesting pieces. They have old stoneware on occasion. Stamps come in from local dealers. China sets from "the old country" (which could be Russia, Belgium, Greece and any country in-between). Glassware from the 1920's. Leaded glass. Chandeliers. Some things will go for $10, others for $1,000. I have seen a few things go for much more. VIEWING is usually Friday afternoon before the auction, and Saturday afternoon just prior. Cash, MC, Visa, NO AMEX, local checks 15% BUYER'S FEE - I don't think there is a discount for cash. Seating is not super comfortable. but if you get there early enough its manageable. Or you can stand in the back area. Get there early on Saturday, parking will be difficult, at best. That's one annoying thing. The other is the cost of the food they serve. Ludicrous, and not good enough for the price. 5 stars because you don't go for the parking and food anyway, the auctioneer is good and he keeps things moving along.

First off, the stated address is not where the auctions occur. That address is 612 Washington…read moreAvenue, right by the Olympic Diner (don't park in the diner's spaces though) off the 28/87/587/Washington Avenue roundabout. Second, and most importantly, I almost always have a great time at these auctions. The merchandise runs the gamut, and I've made some great purchases, from the 14 identical vintage Banana Republic bags to the ephemera lot that included a signed letter from Dame Maggie Smith to the bolt of 1950s atomic cloth to the bronze elephant pedestal that I still haven't found a place for. The auctions move at a nice clip, so you won't be there all day. Pick-up can be a little slow and hectic, but it should be expected in auctions where there are more than 500 lots for sale. I can't recommend JMW enough if you're furnishing a home, reselling at your vintage shop, collecting odd items, or you just like to see what's out there.

Many small auction halls seem to play games with buyers and consignors. I'm honestly not sure if it has to do with ineptitude or dishonesty on their part but it just seems to be the norm. Flannery's is one of the exceptions. I have been attending auctions in the area regularly for the past 10 years. Flannery's is one of the few auction halls that I've been to in my life that I don't feel like I'm being misled. I've been picking for a long time and have been to auction halls both big and small from coast to coast. Marianne and her staff are top notch. She seems to really look out for her staff and respects the people that work for her. This is rare in the auction business too. Best of all for me is that it is a quick drive from home.
