I like Sound Auction first and foremost and have done business with them many times. Unfortunately…read morethey choose to use KP Gunworks for firearm transfers and this is the comment I left on KP Gunworks Page: 12/16/25 I win two firearms on auction from Sound Auction. Sound Auction uses KP Gunworks for firearm (FFL) transfers. on 12/20/25 I present to KP Gunworks to complete the transfer at 0930. The business phone number states they are open at 10:00 on Saturday. On the door it is posted 9-5 and on Google it states 11-3 on Saturday. I sat in my car for over two hours 0930-1140 passing all three posted opening times and no-one ever showed. Several people showed as well and one young man who stated "He just shows up when he wants to". When he wants to? I have over four thousand dollars invested in an FFL transfer company that Sound Auction chooses to use that might show up when he wants to? At 11:40 I returned home to Lynnwood an over 120 mile round trip for absolutely nothing. Reading the Yelp comments over a two year span, I cannot believe KP Gunworks could be associated with any reputable business or that Sound Auction would have more respect for their customers and choose another FFL that at the minimum honors their posted opening time(s). I called my credit card company and cancelled the purchase and noted it as potential fraud. If a company never opens, and you cannot complete transfer paperwork, and eventually take possession, that is theft at a minimum and I certainly am not paying for that.

The state is trying to rip people off now by selling their used or old stuff for way more than what it goes for brand new. The pricing is getting worse and I hope the state recognizes that this surplus facility is ripping off customers by unfairly overpricing merchandise

It seems like they have an ever rotating stock of items here so you will probably find something…read morenew everything you go. While the showroom floor area was kind of small; they do pack a lot in a small space. Also, since there is a lot of large furniture it takes up a lot of the floor. Just in case you didn't know, the surplus store appears to be all the surplus used Washington State equipment and furniture. So instead of taking a total loss on used items, you can just go buy a table or set of file cabinets or computers that may have been used somewhere in the state offices. I actually found the large tables and computer desks and small stationary very inexpensive. I thought it was priced in line with the thrift stores around the area. I found two large bookcases for $10 each and a large dining room table for $15. They had large binders for $1 and file cabinets for $5 per drawer. They have refrigerators and TVs and computers and printers. There are other items that are a little bit more pricey and maybe not in line with what I was thinking for used materials, but too each their own. They sell old state cars and large machinery as well, just in case you're looking. If you're looking for some reasonably priced older furniture or basic stuff to fill up a house or apartment until you get your "real" furniture, this place is worth a visit. Everything seems pretty sturdy so it might actually last you a long while.

Any good review for auction has to be by them....

How do you know what they discard every single time? 4 stars from a guy who says he stands behind Stokes, yet has no pic or last name. Right there tells you their honesty. Funny how none of the cars have check engine lights on....until bought and 2 miles down the road. Feel sorry for guy who bought $19,000 semi for motor to blow week later....2 vehicles I bought 1.had unplugged modules, blown head gasket with freshly changed oil 2.same blown head gasket fresh oil, unplugged components ..should have said broken. Betting seems rigged with bidding extended. One car was sold 3 times....sold to themselves? Bidder backed out, that many times when Stokes pre screens and gets $350 per car sale approx. You know that red beast Stokes. Buy here if you like instant disappointment, vehicles with serious problems or have money to toss. Do better Stokes

The service level there is excellent, from Deb at the front desk to Jacob and Steve and the rest of the crew, it's always been a positive experience for us. Items are typically as described in the auction ad copy and good photos, which is very important for a remote bidding when you don't have the practical ability to review in person. We recently moved back to Washington state after an eight year hiatus to the Midwest and have already begun purchasing items from this auction house. We have also consigned some items there, and they did pretty well for us. We've been dealing with many different auction houses throughout the northwest as well as the Midwest, and these guys are top-notch!

Their habit of lumping unrelated items does no favor for seller. Minimal and often inaccurate description of items. Charging 50% fee for selling is not inline with services performed.
