I've been to a couple of auctions here and thought it was pretty nice and professional. They have some really great items and the prices were reasonable. The auction room is constantly filled with antique furniture and other antique items so it obviously won't smell like your local pottery barn...but I definitely don't think it smelled like a dirty diaper. read more

DO NOT CONSIGN your item with this "premier" auction house. Unless the item is very valuable, their seller terms(read them and you will realize how they are profiting from you and not helping you because receive very little of what you consign with them and most of what it sells for goes to Trudels and not you) will leave you with very little money for your consignments. Just go to their website and you will not find any mention of what is costs to consign with them! What are they hiding? They are hiding how they rip you off if you consign with them! Find a seller review that is positive before you consign with them. AVOID CONSIGNING ITEMS TO TRUDELS! read more

beware if you are a consignor. This place is a ripoff. You will get pennies for your items. Items are placed into huge lots for quick disposal. You will be much better off donating for a tax deduction or giving away as gifts. read more

I had been in touch with Yvonne, the owners wife. I was all set up to have people come over and help me move the furniture and items to their auction house when they were available. I showed her pictures of the items from our estate sale and she said that they would be able to sell them. Couple weeks after she said that they would take the items she sent me an email saying that they weren't interested that they only sold fine art, jewelry, and China. She also blocked my phone number and it goes straight to voicemail, every time I try to call her. Texts go as sms. They never pick up their business phone. I don't understand why people are scared to use their words. They have a terrible business operation with very poor customer service. They need to learn how to treat people. read more

I live in New York and come to Bellingham to visit family every once in a while. I started tagging along wirh my aunt who attends regularly. After the first I was hooked. I have gotten collectiable dishes and glassware as well as great wall art and tools. Drawing at the end for 25% or 15% off total purchases. Comfortable and clean. read more

I understand that buyers love this place, but as a seller, it's a really bad experience. Zero communication. Snarky attitude. I am very sorry I used their service to liquidate the better items in my mother's household. They list this as an estate service on their web site: "Estate liquidation services can include total household cleanouts. After a thorough "broom-sweep," the property is real estate ready." That's completely false. I contacted them about furniture and household items, in particular some of the dreaded "brown" furniture that lurks in many of our homes. They took weeks to respond, and then Yvonne indicated they would come take things away because it was "worth the trip." When a man (her husband the auctioneer) arrived, he cherry-picked a few items, almost no furniture (nothing large). He left us with a very full estate. Zero communication for another few weeks, then a mysterious check for some of the cherry-picked items arrives in the mail. No communication about what didn't sell. No response to email asking about how the process works. Where's the rest of the stuff? One of the items listed with the statement is a table for $0. Does that mean they sold my item for $0? Why didn't I just get it back if they were going to sell it for $0? I could have donated it and taken a tax deduction at least. I can see why buyers like them because they try to pick nice stuff. I have nothing good to say about the selling experience with them and will never recommend them to anyone. I could have done better on Facebook marketplace. Or, directly to a consignment shop. They seem to appeal to other dealers, so the auction prices are overall lower because the buyer is going to resell and mark it up. read more

Ok place to buy (if you enjoy competing with resellers), but beware if you are a consignor. You will get pennies for your items. Items are placed into huge lots for quick disposal. You will be much better off donating for a tax deduction or giving away as gifts. read more

I am a dealer I have been frequenting Kelly's and another for years. I have trudels a shot on a Monday and a Friday when it appeared they had great furniture. All Incan say is lots of silly old ladies way overpaying for furniture that I would find for $20 at flea or $30 at Kelly's. a vanity that needed a complete overhaul went for close To $100. By the time they sand and paint it the silly ladies don't realize they are upside down. If your looking for stuff for your home you might find something good deal wise but this place is not good for dealers. read more

Trudel's is a two sale per week auction house. Friday night's sale is usually the better items, and Monday morning's is lesser quality. Speaking of quality, don't expect to find Sotheby's or even Skinner caliber merchandise here. I am a dealer in a group shop, and I also sell on eBay. If I can find and bid on 10 items out of the hundreds available at a given auction, then it's worth my time. So while waiting for the "high quality" auction house to have their once every 8 week sale, I know I can check out Trudel's twice a week, and walk away with something that will keep my space full, as well as my wallet. Trudel's moves such a huge volume of estate items of all kinds, (500 per week, I'd guess), that there is something for everyone. But those that find it a bit below their standard or imagination, please do pass on them.... More for me :) read more

Family run auction, very honest and a fun place to go. There is a little bit of everything so I'm sure you can find a gem! Love this place

I've been buying and selling at a few local auctions for the past 2 years or so. My favorite of them all would certainly have to be Trudel's for multiple reasons. 1st off I've forgotten personal items there on multiple occasions and have always gotten them back! Maybe its just my luck? Other reasons I like their auction is because I feel that they are very honest and try harder than other auctioneers to get more money out of the item. I've sent a basket of costume jewelry and they found a gold necklace inside that I had no idea about. What a surprise when I got my paperwork! Other reasons would include the simple fact that they don't appear to play favorites. I've watched lots at other auctions get sold to the auctioneers good friends for near nothing... I've never witnessed this type of behavior from Trudel's. Being somewhat new to the game and going to just about all auctions around central mass and even RI, I say with confidence that trudels is a great place to buy and sell. Thanks guys, I told you I'd yelp you for your good service! read more
