This place has been my first stop every holiday to find something special. The crew at Capitol are as honest as they come. Professionalism and responsiveness are normal here. Good deals and quality items every sale are always to be found. It's worth the drive.

Well, I've gotta give it to them - my 2 star review was responded to by management (always a good…read moresign to me that someone cares) and I felt like I needed to give this place another run. As I mentioned in my earlier review, I wasn't too fond of going in person so I have been checking this auction out online for the last few months. I must say the quality of the items as well as the overall 'feel' of the auctions has improved. Since I am not doing this for entertainment (like lots of nice folks) I prefer bidding on line due to the distance (Salem) and I can avoid the drive IF I don't purchase anything. You have the option when you buy online to pick up the items or have them shipped. So far we have only done the pickup and it has all been super smooth. Overall, the professionalism of the owner & the types of good items they have been selling has been far more to my liking - so much so that an additional star is certainly deserved. I suspect if they keep going this way that they will continue to rise in my estimation.

If you've never been to an auction before, this is a great place to start because everything is cheap and it's not intimidating to make a bid. The auction has a great atmosphere. It's all very lively and exciting and full of Oregon City characters who all know each other. It's everything you imagine an auction to be -the auctioneer is doing a constant "HEY five dollars over here. How about six? Six dollars. Can I get six dollars? SIX dollars! Can I get seven?" They run the auctions like estate sales, which basically means they're selling all the stuff in your grandparent's house. Everyone gets a card with a number on it, which you hold up over your head when you want to place a bid. You will probably only be interested in 20% of the items. The vast majority of items are old tools, used silverware, crappy looking couches, and useless angel nick knacks. But they also auction off some really cool antiques and furniture. We bought a slightly used 1952 Remington typewriter for $5 and picked up a lamp with a stained glass shade for $20. The bidding usually stays in the $5-20 range and it's a rare event that the bidding ever goes over $100. But sometimes it does. I've seen a motorcycle sell for $700, a painting sell for $200. And a box of about 400 random baseball cards sold for $100. These bidding wars put everyone on the edge of their seat. Attending the auction is a good way to pick up useless crap if you're not careful. But just watching the whole process and the competition between bidders is so much fun. Definitely worth a trip to Oregon City.

It took over a day just to get an invoice which seems very long. Other companies have gotten them to me in minutes after an auction ends. Payment methods were very limited and took too long. I was not able to pick up my purchased lots for 2 days after the end of the auction which is the longest I have ever experienced. Loading line was long, and slow once they started. Not nearly enough people helping. With the buyers fee being at the top end of the industry in cost, I expected a high level of service, but it was just mediocre at best. I would not avoid them if there was something I really wanted, but now I know to significantly lower my expectations compared with other auction houses I use.

For nearly 2 years I have been a repeat customer of JSA Auctions. I have purchased 30 lots or…read moremore over that time. I have recommended them to many family members and friends who now have similar purchase history. In this last auction I purchased 10 lots that would require a 53 ft trailer to transport over 400 miles from their Spokane sight. Because of the poor packaging of the lots and an unwillingness to assist in loading by the Spokane yard workers two 18 wheelers were turned away. One flat bed because the load would have fallen apart in transit and one box truck because they wouldn't lend a pallet jack. That's a $300 fee per truck billed to me. They finely decided to allow the third driver to use the pallet jack after multiple calls where i was told the yard man would call me back and didn't. There was no communication from the auction to me unless I called them until on the last day with less than 4 hours the yard man called me and begrudgingly agreed to allow the use. Meanwhile I was threatened with a $250 a day storage fee per lot. That's $2500 per day for 10 lots because this yard was unwilling to assist in loading or ensuring lots were properly packaged for shipping on $1110 of goods. Remember I'm out an additional 600 in fees on trucks not loaded, buyers premium charges, and sales tax. I see no option but to cut my losses and have JSA put those lots in the next auction to avoid a storage fee of twice the value of those lots every day they refuse to provide assistance in loading which they have always provided in the past. If this last truck doesn't work out I will have no other options. Never again will I have anything to do with the Spokane location and possibly JSA Auctions all together. Biggest negative is poor/ no communication with me, the shipping company and the multiple drivers who were dispatched. Second Biggest negative is a poor and very unhelpful attitude with drivers and myself. I was made to feel asking to use their pallet jack was on the same level as asking to sleep on their couch for a week.
