    I'm in trouble. Pretty sure I just became addicted to hunting for treasures and bargains at…read moreauctions! So one of my fellow "junk" loving girlfriends invited me along with her and her Dad to the auction. My home is decorated primarily in what I would call shabby chic style and I have a love for all things vintage and antique. Paired with my love for upcycling, I was excited to check this out. We arrived an hour before the auction. The auction house/resale booth space is located inside the old Marsh store. We wanted to check out the resale booths and then all the things going up for auction so we could scope out anything we may want to bid on. You sign up for an account and number to bid at the front desk/old customer service booth. All you need is your phone number and license. It's free, quick and easy. After looking over the items we had interest in, we found our seats and got ready to bid. The auctioneer started things off with an extremely long prayer, which I found to be a little odd and not my thing, but whatever. I don't find that to be an appropriate place to do such a thing, but to each his own. The auction moved kind of slow for awhile. It was a tad annoying the way some things that really should have been sold as lots, were separated out into individual or small groups of items. It really slowed things up. After awhile, over half the people there left and they finally started grouping more things and selling things as full collections, groups, or boxes and it sped things up to a much more reasonable pace. Also, if you come here in the summer, I advise wearing something that covers the back of your thighs. I had on shorts and had to carefully and slowly peel the back of my thighs from the seat BEFORE trying to stand up. Several people chuckled and made comments the first time I stood up quickly, none the wiser, and had to bite back a scream from the pain of the seat ripping from my skin. I was advised it's a necessity to either wear pants of bring a seat cover, like several people had. In all, we had a good time and got some amazing deals on some really great pieces. I walked away spending right at $20 for many great vintage and antique pieces that, if I wanted to, I could resale and profit at least a couple hundred dollars. Obviously selection and items will always vary and you won't always get that lucky. But this was definitely a great auction night for us.

    You can't go wrong at Baxter Auction. If you're looking to find a bargain or if you're looking to…read moresell some stuff, it's a place to go to, but I love to go there for the entertainment. It's like one big family after you go to a couple auctions you get to know each other and you might fight like family every once in a while too just to get that one thing that you really have to have just because somebody else wants it sometimes. This place will make you laugh as well. They have some pretty good jokes going when they are on a roll. But some of my favorite parts about it is what you learn at the auction. There's a lot of history being told and you get to see some really cool items at Baxter Auction. Bill actually has run the longest auction of all time and there's pretty good stories about it. And you really must go to the kitchen and try the chicken salad and sausage and gravy, but you better get there early cause it goes fast even if she makes tons of it. If you like dolls and tools, they have some of the best well-known auctions in town for that ...and if you like old tools or clocks, same thing. You just can't find a better group of people anywhere please go and enjoy yourself.

Then when he wrote up the final settlement, he not only charged the a greed amt of 25% which was $235.38 but added in a website fee of $100.00, a clerks fee of $100.00 and a cashier(his wife) a fee of $200.00. In addition to this his wife was very rude to me when I caught them selling an item that was not in the sale and insisted on getting it back. one star was the least I cld give them but they deserve none

    As a buyer, I like their normal estate auctions, but BEWARE of their online Amazon return auctions…read more They will advertise the item as something specific from amazon, even include the main amazon link/photo, but when you get the item it is completely different. I have received rugs that were not the advertised size. Lights that were said to be solar but end up being electric. (they cannot claim they did not know, as I was able to type in the number on the box and it brought up exactly what the item was, not what they advertised it as. They had not taken a photo of that part of the box, so I was unable to look it up beforehand). Sometimes you can visually tell from the photos they post of the ACTUAL item, that it is indeed not the item they say it is. Other times they will not post a single picture of the actual item at all, so you have to assume it is what they are advertising it as. They clearly state in the details that it is an open box auction and the absence of defects does not mean they do not have them. THAT IS SHADY! See photos of an example of one of their listings. at least with this one, you could tell it was not even close to the item they said it was. Basically, if it's an estate sale, you are fine to buy, they seem to be honest and upfront about those items. If it is a return amazon sale, be very careful and prepared to lose money.

I truly feel like I've been gypped because they allowed someone to take my items for a dollar more would not allow me to log back into the site I thought it might've been an issue with my phone, but the same thing happened today. That's when I started researching the auction house.
