We are novices to Art consignment and auctioning, so when my uncle asked us to take the art work he…read moreand his wife had collected over their years together to DuMouchelles, we didn't know what to expect. We found a welcoming family of experts and staff who treated us and his possessions as valued. We attended the Auction Preview for our uncle, but we had our eyes on a few other items. We learned about Oriental rugs from a longtime local expert as we noshed on good food and delightful sips. We followed and bid during the online auction, and though we didn't walk away with what we had in mind, our interest has been piqued. We will be back!

So boom, me and my girlfriend was enjoying our day minding our business having a good time together…read moreright. We saw an antique store we was like ok let's go in here and see what's this place about, so we walked in the owner had gave us a magazine for us to look at for the stuff that they have in there, so we was looking around and was enjoying what they had in their shop. I look up and they had an upstairs, so I just told my girlfriend let's go up and see what they got up there. SO LOOK me and her went up there looking around it was a few customers and 2 female workers. I was feeling some kind of a weird energy as if I was being looked at but I ignored it. But as I kept moving around I was feeling like they were deadass following me and my girl, so we split Up and they did too, to watch us and yes me and her was correct they were following us and mind you me and her are the only African Americans upstairs and out of all the people that was up there, they was with us the whole time. Soon we was about to walk down stairs I look at the female one last time specifically the one wearing all black with pants we made eye contact and she tried to play it off my looking away fast as fuck like no I saw you and I know damn well you saw me so we got up out of there and the other women was wearing black as well wearing a long dress to the knees or ankles, exact day this all happened was 9-12-26 around 1pm-4pm I hope the god there was a camera up there because IF IM LYING IM FLYING!!! This place has to go they are RACIST AS FUCK!! SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!! Terrible first impression especially if you're skin isn't the same as theirs because I know for a fact we wasn't African Americans and was one of them they would not be all over us like that like some damn hawks. If this place is still running for some dumb ass reason "FUTURE CUSTOMERS PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORKERS THEY ARE WATCHING YOU WHEN YOUR NOT LOOKING!!!"

Detroit Metro Auction is one of the best companies I have dealt with in a very long time. Everyone…read morethere was so kind and knowledgeable. The pickup process was streamlined and even with limited parking because of the home's location, there was no problem loading up. Their photos were well done and truly represented what I purchased. I underestimated the size and weight of one of the items and they helped me load it and made sure I got it home safely. Whether you are buying from them or looking to liquidate an estate, I would highly recommend their company. They go out of their way to make sure you are happy.

The guy then said he had sent out email notification to everyone involved that the auction had been reopened , when I said I never received the notification.

Your mistake isn't my problem. I wouldnt make a deal with someone and then make another deal with someone else.

I called him on his lies, and now he ruined my account on hibid, for which he is being sued now. Total abusers and liars. Nothing else.

I can't say enough great things about Sportscard Central and the owner, Rick. The best part about…read morethis place is the customer service and the fair prices. Rick is knowledgeable and truly cares about his customers. The team here goes above and beyond. They are patient, courteous, and share information on anything they are able to help with. Sportscard Central has been in the business for years and there just aren't places like this around so when you come across them, it makes it that much more special.

UPDATE: Here it is four years later, and everything I said before still applies. In fact, things…read morehave only gotten better as they've streamlined their online auctions and moved into a more auction-friendly, customer-centric location (with real windows in the store!) and the staff has gotten the process down better. Yes, the shipping can be high because they can't "cheat" and send comics via Media Mail like smaller sellers can. But that just makes bidding in person that much better, you lucky locals! Still some of the best packaging in mail order. Haven't been to the new location yet but looking forward to it!

If I could put as NEGATIVE 10 I would. We signed a contract for them to dispose of some equipment…read moreand make us 3 payments. Did not see them after the first payment. They have all our equipment and have moved (not telling us) and after we hunted them down they have continued to ignor, text, email, certified letters and even visits. We have offered to come to some equitable agreement (in case their guarantee quote was not accurate) but they apparently want to just keep our equipment and all proceeds. Now to get this resolved we will need to go to court. THIS IS NOT A REPUTALBE BUSINESS! BUYERS BEWARE! Note they are now IN Westland at 35500 Central City Parkway and may go by MI Bids On Line. BEWARE!!!!

Disgusting practices pretty much sums up this company. Never ever purchase from these guys…read more I am opening up a restaurant, never had done so in my life and so I wanted to save money on an ice machine. I found this ad on craigslist and won the auction for an ice machine. I first found is strange that I put a max bid of $500... and then magically we won for EXACTLY $500. After seeing what other reviewers write, it makes sense that the probably DO in fact shill their bids. Do NOT put a max bid. Now here is the kicker. I made the MASSIVE mistake of paying in cash. Why? Because the machine.... DOES NOT WORK! and is FILTHY, like covered in soot. I had professional plumbers try to hook it up and the first they said was it doesn't power on. The second thing they said that the bin was covered in mold, the legs are warped, the bottom is rusted so bad it looked like it was covered in decay. Had I seen it in person, I would have refused the purchase but I hired the plumbing company to pick it up and install it. I had called their company multiple times and the first 2 times I was told that I was going to get a call back with a solution. No Response. Then I called again a few days later and was told I would get a call back. No Response. Called a third time and I spoke to Janice who claimed to be the owner (clearly she is not). I said to her, I called many times and I was told I was going to be provided a solution. Her response, "I am giving you a solution, there is nothing I am going to do about it." I asked how could be possibly sell something broken and then tell me, "Well you got it dirt cheap and as-is!". I don't know what she is talking about because I spent over $600 on a broken machine. I asked her, how can you possibly sell me a broken machine? It says on your website that you guarantee it will work and it has been tested! She said she tested it when she got it. I asked her for documented proof and she said they do not keep it. She said that it worked at the restaurant before they unplugged it. The funny part is that on the header on their website clearly states the following. "we GUARANTEE You will find NEW and USED - CLEAN-TESTED-LATEST MODEL equipment at unbeatably low prices! BID WITH CONFIDENCE. We take great care in TESTING, PACKAGING AND SHIPPING every item! " So almost everything was a lie in what appears to be their mission statement. Not Clean, Not Properly Tested... and clearly you cannot bid with confidence. I had high hopes but I am severely disappointed. It is not about the money but about the principle of the matter. The way you treat customers and would prefer to cheat rather than make it right. Now I cannot condemn the whole company as it was not the owner who treated me this way. I would hope the owner would have a conscious, reach out to me and make this right. **** After looking into this further... isn't it kind of suspicious that almost all of the "5 Star Reviews", most of them are out of state and they look like models... Makes you question the validity of these positive reviews big time.... Also notice that the 1 star reviews, all but 1 is local ****
