Sequels Estate Sales solved a major problem for us, and they made it so easy and profitable we can…read morestill hardly believe it. The daunting task of completely emptying our home of more than 21 years of accumulated stuff had kept us from putting our home on the market for at least a year. Enter Tom and Penni Yanessa of Sequels Auctions who reassured us that the process could be relatively painless. All we had to do was identify and remove what we wanted to keep. They would do the rest -- sift through everything else, sort it, photograph it and list it for sale on their auction website. Considering the mountainous nature of what we left in that house, we were astounded at how well Tom and Penni were able to wade through it all and stage it for an effective auction. It WAS easy - for us, at least - and unbelievably lucrative. The final sale result hugely exceeded our expectations. We enthusiastically recommend Sequels Estate Sales if you need help turning stuff into money. Working with Tom and Penni was a complete pleasure.

Main Auction picked up a truckload of the contents of a relative's estate (silver, china, artwork,…read morefurniture, collectibles, etc.) in April, 2025. They auctioned it off in several sales over the ensuing months, auctioning the last of it November 1, 2025. (The sale July 27, 2025 for example grossed $2,950.) The heirs have received NO accounting of ANY of the sales and not a cent of the proceeds. This is a clear violation of the Ohio Auctioneer law. Justin Karp has said many times he would send an accounting the next day, but has never done so.

When I complained they said they thought it was framed and they would lower the shipping. They then send a bill including 50 dollars shipping. When I wrote them asking why the cost was so high to roll a small poster in a tube with postage I know is less than 12 dollars they wouldn't reply to my email. Instead they charged my credit card, including the 50 dollars and a 7.50 credit card charge. A few years ago I also had a problem with Hindmans when he sold me some circus posters in a lot for 527 dollars and I found out they were not original but cheap reproductions. I called and they agreed to cancel the sale but six months later Hindman called and rudely demanded payment. He said that even though the information on Live Auctioneers didn't say they were reproductions they were covered since their own website disclosed they were reproductions. When I refused to pay he tried to ban me from bidding on Live Auctioneers. He then resold the posters again without disclosing on Live Auctioneers that they were worthless reproductions. I buy from over 100 auction houses and Cowans/Hindman are the worse I have dealt with. They lie, they cheat and they rip you off. BUYERS BEWARE.

I lucked out and won the auction for a 7 foot tall antique circus poster. I'd been looking for this poster for nearly 10 years, ever since I lost out on the exact same poster on Ebay. I was outbid and it sold for over $1000. But I ended up getting the one at Caza for less than 300 bucks! Plus, this one was in a full frame - a very expensive project if you pay a frame shop to make one for you. The shipping process was very organized too...fast and a reasonable cost.

Filled out the paperwork with Nell and thought I'd get a copy of the consignment etc.. in the mail. That didn't happen, but I trusted them since I'd known them both for years and never had a bad experience on the buying side of things. I saw a few of my items listed for auction initially some doing well, but the company has the site set up so that when the item sells you can't see what it sold for, and can't bring up past auction results. Totally opaque and perfect for funny business. It's middle of July, have stopped at the building in Hamilton Ohio where I dropped things off, it's abandoned, and have called and left messages, no response. I'll file complaint with State of Ohio, but judging by other reviews, that will be to no avail since this type of thing has been going on for years. People and businesses scam all the time, especially when it comes to government money, so Joe is going about it all wrong, penny-ante hustler.

The auctions are typically made up of estate items, but the occasional business, liquidation sale pops up from time to time. I usually visit the Saturday evening auctions, and depending on the time of year, the crowds will vary. This isn't the place to buy fine arts, war memorabilia, and world artifacts. These auctions are for the items grandma and grandpa left behind that the kids didn't claim as family heirlooms. There is usually decent furniture, tools, and antiques. Expect to pay higher prices at the first auction on the month (as the crowd recently received their pay checks/government checks) There are snacks, nachos, hot dogs, and drinks, but you need cash for these. You can pay for you haul with credit card, but expect to pay an extra 3%. The auctioneer keeps a great pace, and has a great personality making the time go by quickly. It's not a bad way to spend a Saturday evening, especially if you love searching for a bargain. Check their website for auction times. It's easy to navigate and includes pictures of upcoming items.
