I have been a Kiko's Buyer for several years and decided to start consigning some things at the…read moreFriday auction barn. I took a lot of time to sort things and put them in attractive lots. I stayed around to see how things went. I found it makes a huge difference which auctioneer handles your stuff. Today was a sunny day with hundreds of bidders. Early on with the senior auctioneers, things sold at relatively high prices because they knew what they were selling and took time to describe the items, generating interest. My lot was right in the middle of everything and, by luck of the draw, didn't sell until nearly last when most people had left. Although I wasn't happy, I know that's how things work. My complaint is that I also drew a junior, somewhat arrogant, auctioneer who made no attempt to sell anything. He characterized a box of vintage maps as "a box of paper". It sold for a dollar. Several boxes of Fenton milk glass went for a couple of dollars because he made no attempt to describe the items or encourage bidding. For a box of vintage Mason jars, he actually said "a bunch of bottles. Get them out of here." He called a woman from some a distance away to tell her she could have them for 50 cents. For a box of collectible plates, he took a look and said pass, not even asking for bids. And I am quoting him exactly. I will never take the time to sell things with them again. I'd rather give my stuff to Goodwill. On a side note, the crowd is full of thieves. If you can't take all your stuff to the car immediately chances are good something will be stolen. I actually caught one man walking away with a train car I bought. He said someone sold it to him for $2 and refused to give it back. Luckily I was able to prove it was mine and got it back. Yesterday, A lot of 6 lawn chairs I was watching was down to 2 by the time the auctioneer came around. People complain all the time but Kiko does nothing. They need some kind of security or checkout system. UPDATE: one of the managing Kiko auctioneers called me and heard every word I had to say. He said he was already aware of the problem auctioneer and would take further corrective action. When I got my check, it was for the full selling amount with no deductions for auction fees. Although I really think I was shortchanged because of the auctioneer's incompetence, I think Kiko management made a good faith effort to make the situation right.

The staff and owner Debora Grey are very knowledgeable and professional. I recently went to the Antiques Roadshow filming in Harrisburg Pa. June 2017. The roadshow appraiser was unable to identify an item that I had brought to be appraised. I took the same item to Gray's and they were able to find the item and appraise it in minutes.

I had dimmerling do an estate auction at my deceased parents home. The day of the auction was…read morehorrible. Their opening bids were fair but after a few seconds of no response they would immediately drop the bid to next to nothing. They gave the buyers permission to come back and claim their purchases whenever the buyer felt like it. I still had strangers coming to my property two days after the auction to claim their stuff. They would still be coming had I not put a stop to it 48 + hours after the auction. These people didn't even bother to knock on my door and announce their presence. They just drove their vehicles through my lawn like they owned the place. Much damage to my lawn.They allowed the buyers to throw trash all over the property. One buyer came to claim his purchases two days after the auction. No one asked me if it was okay. I didn't know the man was coming. Building was locked. Dimmerling told the man to cut the lock. Can you say trespassing or even worse breaking and entering. Summit county sheriffs office responded. Police report available. The only reason dimmerling didn't leave in hand cuffs was because he didn't actually cut the lock himself. I allowed the buyer to leave without pressing charges. He made a stupid mistake but dimmerling was the true criminal. Items seemed to go missing days before the auction. When I inquired about them they would magically reappear the following day. You can draw your own conclusion. I had items clearly marked not to be sold. Dimmerling ignored this. Some things he threw out. Others I believe were sold. His buyers bought large quantities of items. They would them proceed to pick the best things from their purchase and just left the rest me me to deal with. The dump fee is going to cost me well over the few measly dollars I made. I feel I let the fox in the hen house. Was forced to watch the slaughter and then I got stuck cleaning up the mess. Terrible people. Horrible service. All for next to nothing. I now am forced to stay here and guard my property from trespassers and other criminal activity from dimmerling and his auction schills / groupies. I meant to say buyers. Careful what you wish for. You might just end up with a knife in your back. My advise would be to stay away from Dimmerling Auctioneers and Realty Company.

I almost hesitate to write this review for fear I will spoil this special place . If you drive 2…read morehours north to Amish Country where Mt. Hope Auction is located, you will have seemingly arrived on another planet, in another time. If you want to avoid the typical tourist traps and experience something like from the movie "Witness", this is a trip you must make. The auction is HELD ONLY ON WEDNESDAY. That probably is a good thing, to avoid being overrun by, what is known to the Amish, as the English (that would be me). This is the place where Amish families come to buy, sell and trade their goods. I have been a few times now and find it utterly fascinating (I think they find me fascinating too) to hear the language, see the dress, horses and buggies.....just the tradition of the auction. Livestock, flowers, vegetables, clothing, kitchenware, tools, weapons, etc.etc. are available for purchase. Lots of things are literally auctioned off, but also you can just buy whatever. You can negotiate anything. The best time to buy food from the local gardens is in late summer or fall, otherwise most of it comes from the grocer. Still, it is cheaper and way much better than you would find at Giant Eagle and Krogers. Bringing a cooler sometimes is a good idea. BTW, it can be really dusty, so don't dress up. Along the way, you can stop in Charm, Ohio and visit both Miller's bakery and Hershburger's Farm. Both good places to buy bake goods. Hershburgers has more options of tasty bites such as popcorn, jams, noodles, honey, syrup, relishes, sausage, cheese, eggs, chocolates and whatever else I can't think of at the moment. There is an animal petting area for the kiddies which includes Big Ben, the biggest darn horse this city girl has ever seen. For real, BIG. Along the winding way, other sites include the longest covered bridge and Killbuck Marsh, wetlands. Oh and if you can't resist, there is always the traditional tourist trap in Berlin. I feel like I must say this......please be respectful of the Amish. They do not like to have their picture taken. Maybe a buggy shot would work instead.

Another friend and I attended one of the pre auction events in November 2023 and were greeted with such hospitality, it was an incredible experience. Cynthia, Bridget, Tom, Marjorie and team provided a wonderful overview of the auction process as I was an auction newbie at that point and did not understand how it worked as in my mind from movies, etc it was always in person. The process is super easy to learn and the items in the auction were so gorgeous - I ended up buying some chairs and participating in my first auction following the experience.
