There are several top-notch auction houses in the Phoenix metro area - and Ace of Estates is right there in the top tier. The staff is friendly - that's nice. The staff is honest - that's important. As a buyer I depend on the auction house to give me an honest appraisal of the condition of an item as I do not live in the metro-area and seldom have a chance to preview in person. I understand the need for the auction houses to give caveats, but coming from Ace of Estates, the descriptions have always been accurate. The photography is excellent, showing me the important details. The staff is very knowledgeable and always quick to respond to any questions I have. This top-tier auction house has become an excellent source of high-quality inventory for me. THANKS!!

I said I would prefer to go to auction. They responded by disabling a working item for preview (that had just been serviced to be in working order), incorrectly listed it on their website (they didn't bother with a brand name, model or year) & then sold it for a fraction of the value. When I complained, I was told they "were sorry I felt that way" and nothing more. After years as a customer, I will not go back.

What an experience! The Mesa Auction last night was so much fun! I have never been to an auction so…read moreI can't compare it to anything (except what I've seen on the BBC channel) so the only thing I would have to say was that it was warmer then would have expected but that just added to the experience. If you want killer deals then make a trip out, there was this entire dinning set (table, chairs and sideboard) that sold for $10 and a HUGE sectional with a hide-a-bed and reclining seats that sold for $525!! There was a high-end Baldwin piano that sold for $900 and beautiful china cabinets with matching table and chairs...this place is awesome!! The auctions are sorted into 4 different rooms two inside and two outside. The items get better in quality as they move from outside to inside, back to outside and then to the last inside room which carried some big ticket furniture and appliances. There is a $50 refundable deposit on a bidding stick (which you need in order to participate in all the fun) and let me tell you it can get intense!! It's a great date idea and good fun for any one.

First of all, I had no idea this place was the size of a small nation. I walked in thinking,…read more"Little antique shop, I'll just go up one aisle and down the next." Ma'am. Sir. There is no "up and down." This place is a labyrinth designed by someone who said, "What if we hid Narnia behind every dresser?" I got lost at least three times. Possibly four. At one point I genuinely forgot: What I came for, which direction I entered... who I am as a person. Every time I thought I found the "main path," I'd turn a corner and BAM! secret pocket room. Hidden alcove. Side quest unlocked. Now, to be fair, if you are someone who enjoys treasure hunting, rummaging, discovering trinkets you didn't know you needed, and time traveling, this is your Disneyland. There is stuff. So much stuff. Trinkets. Bobbles. Whatnots, galore. Things your grandma had. Things your grandma refused to have. I went in looking for one very specific item. I did not find it. I did, however, find three existential moments and mild spatial disorientation. Did I have a good time? Yes. Did I leave with what I needed? No. Did I briefly consider dropping breadcrumbs to find my way out? Also yes. Three stars because it's impressive, chaotic, and an adventure... but if you go in with a mission, be prepared to lose it. Possibly along with your sense of direction. Would return. With a map.

We've been to this store several times over the past couple of years & every time I'm lucky enough to find something amazing yet half the time my choice is in the locked cabinet..... lol! This store is extremely large so you can definitely be there for a few hours because they have everything that you can imagine! The store is also well spaced out for as big as it is & it's not cluttered like some antique stores can be! On this last visit I completely lucked out because I've been eyeing a figurine in a glass case & it was still there! Well once they took it out & put it in my hands I knew I wanted it.... a Giuseppe Armani figurine so delicately made, I fell in love & the price.... Could not beat! Then on another visit in another locked glass case there she sat.... This gorgeous Sweden " Strombergshyttan " crystal vase of a girl holding a bird cage, underneath the vase is signed & numbered. Yes I basically walked away with a steal, my husband had to tell me to stop smiling! I just love this store, there's such a large selection to choose from for all tastes out there! Mind you it's not in that fancy zip code but do not let that discourage you because sometimes when you drive out of those zip codes that's where's there'll be some extra treasures lingering around!

Review of My Love/Hate Relationship with Nellis Auction (Phoenix)…read moreNellis Auction is basically MAC.BID's slightly more organized cousin... but the chaos still lives there. The good news: the items are usually described much better during bidding, and most of the time you actually get really cool stuff for ridiculously cheap prices. I've scored some genuinely awesome finds that made me feel like a professional bargain hunter. One of the best parts is the pickup system. You schedule an appointment, pull into the lot, and they actually bring the items out to your car. No wandering around a giant warehouse playing "Where's My Stuff?" like a scavenger hunt. That alone deserves points. Flexible payment options are also nice, especially for those of us who occasionally make questionable late-night bidding decisions. Another nice feature is that if your account is in good standing, you can choose not to complete the purchase if you decide the item really wasn't what you needed after all. It doesn't automatically charge your card the next morning and leave you feeling personally victimized by your own bidding habits. Now... the other side of the relationship. Every once in a while, an item you won mysteriously becomes "not found." Poof. Gone. Refunded like it never existed. And of course it's always the one item you were actually excited about. Then there are the updated terms of service. Let's just say if you miss or need to reschedule your pickup appointment, G-d help you. There are restocking fees, rescheduling fees, and possibly a fee for breathing the wrong way near the parking lot. Even if you submit multiple help desk tickets through ZenDesk explaining the situation, you may still be waiting on a response long enough to question your life choices. I'm currently still waiting on my last ticket... but I'm not holding my breath. Customer service chat can also be... entertaining. Some reps seem about as familiar with the policies as the rest of us are. And then there's the pickup check-in system. Each parking spot has a printed QR code hanging on a pole that you're supposed to scan. In theory, great idea. In reality... it works about as often as my Wi-Fi during a monsoon. Item condition can also be a gamble. One time I bought a "brand new Sonicare toothbrush - new in package." It arrived looking like it had already lived a full and meaningful life in someone else's bathroom. Straight to the garbage. Pro tip: never buy clothing. You may receive items that appear to have been previously loved... worn... returned... and possibly attacked by deodorant. I once opened a child's coat that had deodorant stains on it and immediately escorted it directly to the trash like it was a biohazard. It definitely feels like nobody is actually checking these items, and you can't really inspect them before leaving either. So sometimes you win big... and sometimes you win a future trip to the garbage can. BUT... despite all of this... it's still weirdly fun. It's like a digital treasure hunt where most of the time you actually do find something cool -- and often brand new -- for way cheaper than retail. Do I sometimes question my choices? Yes. Do I still open the app and start bidding again? Also yes. Overall rating: Better system, better finds, slightly less chaos... but still a thrilling little gamble. Pro Tip: Check your items if you can before leaving. will save you a trip.

They cant even be bothered to inspect the items before listing them. The items they sell here are junk. Half the time the item isn't as described and/ is missing one or more items. Save your money. The "value" isn't really there. There's a REASON these items were returned to Amazon and not relisted. You'll get a better deal at a garage sale. And returns take DAYS (5-14 business days to be exact) to process and refund. It's really not even worth it anymore. My last large purchase (16 items) EVERYTHING had to be returned because it was either broken, missing pieces, ripped, stained, completely empty, non functional, not as described, or the wrong size.
