DO NOT USE RENNICK AUCTIONS, RENNICK ART & ANTIQUES, OR RON RENNICK!…read moreI contacted Mr. Rennick on Thursday, June 12, to bid on a 1956 T-Bird on June 14. This was as a result of a postcard sent by Rennick. I told him that I wanted to place an absentee phone bid on this car, and told him I could give my Visa Card for any deposit he required. A friend of mine actually works for him, and I have known Mr. Rennick for about 12 years. As a result of this relationship, he said he or his sons, or an employee, would contact me from the auction (owners property), at about 10:30 am Florida time. I gave him my cell phone number, and his manager, my Visa information. Mr. Rennick also contacted the owner of the car, who called me & sent me photos of the car. I told the owner, as I told Mr. Rennick, I would be bidding on the car. I held my cell phone in my hand from 9 am-2 pm, Florida time, waiting for the call from Mr. Rennick to bid. It never came. I called the auciton house, and told them Mr. Rennick was going to call me to bid, and see why he hadn't. At 4:30 pm, Mr. Rennick called me. He suddenly "apparently had a memory lapse", as he said he didn't remember that he was going to call me to bid, "did I send in a cashiers check or bank letter?"! I told him no, repeating that 2 days earlier, he agreed to take my Visa number & call me! He said "well, my memory isn't as good as it used to be"! I told him that I had a large real estate brokerage firm for many years, that I never forgot to contact someone who was interested in buying a property...that this I'm sure he knows how to run an auction business. I asked him how much the car sold for-he said he "thought" $24,000..."thought"-this was despite the fact that the sale was 4 hours earlier, and he only had about 6 cars to sell, this being the most valuable. I told him I was going to bid to $35,000-that I had done my due dilligence on the cars value, especially having gotten all the information I needed from his seller. I told him he didn't represent the clients, on this sale-he cost them about $10,000 more-which I would have gladly paid! Mr. Rennick is in a very wealthy town, filled with elderly people, who many times either don't know the value of the real estate, or personal property, or their heirs fly in, rely on information that I don't believe is given. This is only my opinion. I strongly suggest sellers use due caution-perhaps having a good & fair reserve-which this car didn't have, nor were the sellers (or I)-represented fairly!

BEWARE OF THIS AUCTION HOUSE! In August, 2017, we took a van…read moreload of items to Palm City Auction, to be included in their next auction. We were told that the they were going on vacation, and that our things would be stored in the corner of their 'warehouse' until the next auction. I was surprised at a comment made at the time and after only looking in one box while being unloaded. 'I'm only taking this stuff because I want the good stuff later.' Well, the stuff to which he was referring were wonderful smalls, having closed down two booths in an antique mall soon before. I have been in the antique business many years, having had several shops and going to the U.K to fill containers and to search for the unusual. Granted, the things left with them, were not your usual 'high-end', but nice none-the-less. To make a long story, short. We got a call from the auction house the next day after the auction, telling us that the antique, cane bottom, ladder back chairs did not sell. I then told the office person who called, that we would pick them up the same week. We drove over an hour to do that, to find that they only had five of the six chairs. The story that we got, was that the thrift store had picked up the missing chair. We drove to the thrift store to reclaim the chair, only to be told, that no such thing had happened! While sitting in the parking lot of the thrift store, we call the auction house and told them of this. The lady answering the phone, was extremely rude, saying 'Well, they didn't sell, so they couldn't have been worth much, then promptly hung up on my husband.' We then drove back to the auction house to hunt for the chair, which was not there. But what was there, were some of the items we had left for the auction, sitting in the back room....? They never made it to auction. Upon receiving the listing of things 'sold' there were two box lots, one for $10.00, one for $8.00. I have been around antiques all of my life. I know the value of things, as well as the cyclical values that have taken place over time. I am an honest person, thus this soon become an ethical issue for me rather than financial. There is more to the story, but suffice it to say, we should have heeded the warning others had given us about this Auction House. I tend to be a trusting person, but this particular situation reminded me, that not all people in this world are trustworthy! Please know that what I have just written is true and factual!

We had a very disappointing experience with Choice Auction Gallery…read more After my girlfriend's father passed away, we entrusted them with the contents of an entire home that included many high-end items. We were told she would receive 50% of the proceeds, but the final payout was shockingly low -- nowhere near what was expected or what we believe the items were worth. There was very little transparency throughout the process. We were not provided with a clear, detailed accounting of what items sold for, and communication was limited when we tried to get answers. Given the quality and volume of the items, the outcome simply does not make sense to us. This was a difficult time for our family, and we relied on this company to handle things honestly and professionally. Instead, the experience left us feeling taken advantage of. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering using this company get everything in writing, demand full documentation of all sales, and consider obtaining independent appraisals before proceeding.
