Theft... is what the Sunflower Auction Company brought to my home site auction. A regular customer's of theirs deceived if the auction was over he would take what he wanted. He decided to take 4 totes (8 gallon size) of vintage antiques items in value of a $100.00 each if you were to buy these items in antique store. I was only given $80.00 for these 4 totes by the Sunflower Auction Company and I had to work for that. The only saving grace I received that was Sunflower Auction Company runs and keeps a video of the entire sale. They also will bring their own items to sell ( I was told about guns) but other item's appeared without my knowledge or consent. I did set a few prices on certain larger items (which I am glad I did) but at one point the owner started taking bid for a large vintage item for under the amount I had set. New in the area by the Sunflower Auction Company was recommended by another well established company in area Hickory Hill Auction out of Madison, Florida. Please, don't use this company if you are doing a sale at your home, barn or building on your land. Antiques, Collectibles or Art is not his field of auction...if you have wood, machinery, guns this is your auction company.
I was told Sunflower Auction Company does have an advertisement routine, phone call, and of social media; but again this only goes out to their regular's. I was told pamphlets were handed out at an auction held by Hickory Hill Auction two weeks before my auction but no one at the Hickory Hill Auction remembers see or knowing any thing about them. No, one in the Madison area show any advertisement (except the road sign the day of the auction taking place) The customer they did have carry cheap pockets and I do mean very cheap pocket. The auction started and 10:00 and was over at 1:00. Please, think before you use Sunflower Auction Company...remember he brings a theft and regulars with very cheap pockets. Thank you! read more
