My husband and I recently attended a sale by Dan Cobb Estate Sales. Dan responded to my email where…read moreI had questions regarding how they handle entry in to the sale. Not only did he promptly reply but followed through with their policies and handed out numbers the morning of the sale. Bonus is they allow you to stay in your car. The Sale started promptly on time, they had plenty of help and even had someone watching the hold tables. All items had tags and were fairly priced. We appreciated their professionalism, kindness, and sense of humor which made attending their sale a lot of fun. We look forward to the next sale. Thanks again!

If you expect perfect, right off the showroom floor every time, you will be disappointed. I have…read morepurchased lots of things from them over the years. Sometimes they didn't work or were damage, and sometimes I got a terrific deal. You are taking a risk when you buy but there are some steps that will reduce your risk and improve your satisfaction. 1. Adjust your expectation. This is surplus or returned merchandise, not storeroom quality. 2. If you are uncomfortable with the risk then go to the warehouse on Tuesday and review the items in person. Plus checking out all the stuff is just plain fun. 3. look at ALL the pictures provided and really read the description provide. 4. Stay away from items with electronic parts. Electronic parts are notorious for breaking. Overall, I would recommend A&W surplus. you can get some really neat stuff at good prices. I particularly like purchasing tools and then reselling them. If you enjoy selling at yard sales or flee markets, the bulk crates can give lots of items that will move. Think of it as a treasure hunt! Best of luck

I've had some good experiences in the past, but things have gone downhill. First, they don't have…read moremany options these days for auction items. Next, I have bought things from them online, but the wrong item was in the box when I picked it up. Their only response was that I should have came onsite to review the item before purchase. However, nowhere on their website is it stated that there is an opportunity to come onsite to review items. I informed them of this, but they did not care. Recently I also purchased another item, and it had an Apple Air Tag in it. Now I don't know if it was stolen (air tag placed by a victim), or who my be tracking me and know where I live (air tag placed by a potential criminal). I reached out to them with this concern, but did not get a response. Most recently I tried to schedule a pickup, but their were no time slots available. Their site states that you are supposed to schedule your pickup appointment prior to the auction or the day off. But allowing people to schedule pickups prior for items they don't win is what fills up all the appointment slots with people who don't win items. It is a bad practice. I called and asked them if I could schedule an appointment, however their only answer was for me to was their appointment availability online in hopes that an appointment becomes available. This is not acceptable either because they charge you extra to ship items if you don't make an appointment to pick it up. I did check back, and the only availability was an unideal appointment. I had no choice but to grab this appointment ASAP. I checked back an hour later, and a better appointment became available. I tried to take that appointment instead, but they would not allow me to. They said this was because my invoice was tied to my appointment. This is untrue, because my invoice was already paid separately. All then sent out regarding the appointment was an email confirmation. It seems they are unwilling to take simple efforts to help customers, thus they must not care much about customer retention, which you think would help them generate more profit with competitive bidding. Some simple system and process changes could go a long way to improve their business, but there does not seem to be a willingness to improve. There are better auction sites around.

Steve San Sebastian inspired confidence from the beginning. His very large hand reminded me of my…read morefather's strength and ability to perform during challenging circumstances. Steve previewed the many tools that my late husband had used and cherished. As he identified many of them by name and explained that he had been selling similar items for many years, including the 4-post car lift, the stress I felt began to dissipate. Gilbert and Anthony were amazing to watch as they quickly sorted and grouped tools in lots. I was thrilled as those automotive, machinist, and construction tools were arranged to look appealing as if they were in a retail store! Steve's advertising provided outstanding publicity, and the day of the auction, people came! For me, it was a day to honor my late husband as the attendees were very complimentary of the quality of his tools and his loving care for them. Most of the tools went home the day of the sale. Steve was diligent in getting the buyers to take home the large mill, lathe, and car within three days. The monetary gain far exceeded my hopes. All in all, I am very pleased with the results. Fresno Estates and Auctions is the best!

I'm really disappointed with Auctions R Us. I bought an air compressor that was listed as working,…read morebut it did not work at all. They ended up offering me store credit for the issue. At a later auction, I bid on and won another Kobalt air compressor, only to discover during pickup that it was actually the exact same broken compressor I had previously purchased. The original lot information was still underneath the new lot sticker. Even after acknowledging it was the same compressor, they still only offered store credit. Relisting a known non-working item without clearly disclosing it is extremely frustrating and feels dishonest. Based on my experience, I would be cautious purchasing equipment from them in the future.

I was never there! Apparently once they issue you a bid number its there for life. Somehow they must have given it to someone else or made a clerical error when recording it. I told them that I haven't been in attendance there for many years and was not planning on ever attending them again...they acted like I was lying. I told them to Delete my account!! Get rid of my number out of their records for good. That's dangerous to reuse the same number and make a mistake like this. Shabby business practices.

So this is not just a random "what a lovely business Jaxon's is" this business is legit. Such an incredible Auction and store. Javier and family are the kindest, most generous, honest business people. First and foremost they operate with complete integrity. I have been doing business with this family for a few years now, I have never ever been disappointed. If there ever was a concern it is quickly addressed w/o any hesitation. I have shopped with several other local Auctions Madera and Fresno and this auction is far superior. You will never be ripped off or disappointed here. Finally, I am a teacher and Fabian has generously donated books and supplies to my classroom and classrooms in the community. This business cares about their customers and the community.

There is ALOT of inventory with which to deal, so there is a wide variety to look through. As a consignor too, only 2 pieces I brought in to sell disappeared. One was stolen by a person looking at the lots before the auction. Today there are preview hours, security cameras, employees at posted watch points and loyal customers who would not only turn the thief in, they would handcuff her too. Just sayin'. I never brought the subject up with anyone there. I knew they would not handle it responsibly. I agree that the owner is full of himself, that is his charm. On the flip side, I have seen a different person. One person, at his first auction, told the owner that the lot he won was missing a part ..... someone had walked off with it. He paid $2.00 for the lot. The owner actually told the young man, "What do you expect for $2.00". That was the end of that. The owner was feeding this man's education of the real world.... Fresno is still a small town. Word gets around. We know. Just sayin".
