This is the best auction house in Alaska, in my opinion. General descriptions are on point, bidding platform is excellent. Billing, item collection times, it all works smoothly. I have bought one item over the last few years that I feel was misrepresented, I should have inspected it closer, otherwise I feel this is a solid auction house. I will say that items generally get bid up over retail, so watch out and stick to your max bid.

Needless to say it sold for less than the value of one piece. There were other lots of pristine items, again not even correctly listed or priced. I called twice to ask how this could happen. No return call. I'm disappointed.

I had to hire a contractor to dispute items he stated had to be done, that were incorrectly stated by him, costing me thousands of dollars. An inspection had been done and buyer and seller had already addressed items. He completely ignored the stipulation in real estate agreement from owner "owners permission necessary to enter property", as two young women were renting property working various shifts. He came back unexpectedly and entered property without owners permission. I would not recommend this company to anyone as they cost me many thousands of dollars and almost the sale of my house that was on the market two days and had multiple offers! The worst part is the seller has to pay for the appraisal, next time I will not allow the title company tell me who I can use, I will have this in writing before I ever start to sell a house.

Absolutely terrible. I can't even begin to go into how poor of a company this is. Unresponsive…read more Inaccurate. Terrible. Sarah Waldrop was the appraiser. Do not use her under any circumstances. Do Not Hire!!!

Appraised us $30/sq ft lower than another comp that had a lower square footage and lower condition value (verbally used the excuse that they could not use that one because it had lower sq footage and lower condition value). How does this make sense? Our refi still went through, but not at what we were expecting. Comparison shop other reviews and appraisal agencies before using this company. Others like Alaska Appraisal and Consulting (5.0 rating), Frontier Appraisal Svcs Inc (5.0 rating), and lastly AVS-Alaska Valuation svcs (they got a 3.3, so would consider them last). Maybe we should have used a financier in Alaska who probably would have known the right one to go to and the ones to steer clear of.

I first heard about this place through a co-worker of mine who said she saw vinyl records being…read moreauctioned off frequently online. Alaska Auctions is located directly behind Duane's Antique Market on E. 75th Ave and Briarwood St. I have gone to countless garage sales, estate sales, thrift shops, and bookstores for the best deals and steals on vinyl records. I have never participated in a silent auction online. This was something I've only seen on TV and I was tentative based on the negative reviews others have left for this place. After seeing the photos of the records up for auction, I decided to take the jump and signed up online. In order to participate in the auction, you would have to do a $1 deposit on your credit card along with a 15% buyer's premium added to your total if you get the winning bid. I balked at first but since the opening bids on the records were starting at just $10 or more, I decided to go along on their terms. The first silent auction had a large box of records and two unopened bed sheet sets starting at $10.00. Someone had taken the opening bid before I countered at $12.50 a short while later. Not expecting to win this auction because of the low price, I logged off and decided to check back on the closing day. Amazingly enough, when I logged back on, my bid was still the high one with only a few hours left before close. Later on in the day after finishing work, I received an email from them saying I had won the auction at $12.50! The 15% buyer's premium was just a mere $1.88 which came up to a total of $14.38. What an amazing deal! I quickly drove down to the auction house after work and I was delighted to find a large box with lots of records, most of them in good condition. The new unopened bed sheet sets were just the icing on the cake and I decided to donate those to the Anchorage Pioneer Home for Christmas. A second auction came a week later. This time I was notified by email on vinyl records up for auction starting at the same bid of $10. This time I had some competition when someone took the opening bid . I countered with $12.50 but was immediately countered with a $15.00 bid right after I placed mine. I decided to check back on the closing day. When I logged on, the bid was still at $15.00! I thought maybe the person with the higher bid was confident on winning the records with only a few hours left before close. I decided to make the smart play and made a last minute bid at $17.50. The auction was extended by another 30 minutes with my bid and I waited anxiously to see if someone would respond. Shortly after, I received a second email saying that I had won the second auction! Score! I went down to the auction house after work to pick up the records and sure enough, a large stack was waiting for me in their inventory room. This was such a fun experience. I can now add this as part of my vinyl hunting options if another auction comes up in the near future.

*Update* Seems I'm a…read moreliar now. Very unprofessional for a business manager to call a customer a liar. There may have been an expensive board. As I told you, all I was looking for were the planks to route for tongue and groove on a cabin, which I buy new from Lowe's for $9/board. And for the lie I apparently said of me spending "thousands"... I have won a total of 106 lots with Alaska Auction Company amongst 18 different auctions within the last year. Before the buyer's premium, my total is $1,524.50. After your buyer's premium and 4% card fee, I have spent over $1800 in the last 12 months with Alaska Auction Co. But anyways, again, a manager of a business is calling a customer a liar. What manager using those words, accusing me of being a liar, and on the google review platform, accusing me of being someone else. Such executive words for a leader and manager to call their clients. ***Original Review Below to the managers response before my update*** Alaska Auction Co was always great to me, the Spanish fella and sword swallowing fella were always so kind, but a very deceptive auction with multiple complaints and a manager that does not know how to talk to employees or customers, called both myself and her own employees "confused" multiple times after posting a very deceptive lot. Lots are not described accurately, and they will blame it on you for not drivin 120 miles just to "preview" the lots. I have never driven to preview any lot because I always assumed I could trust the company and their description. I was completely wrong and learned the hard way. Don't ever assume or it will make an ass of you and me.
