    I want to share my experience specifically from the perspective of a consignor. While Bronstein…read moreEstate Auction Company may be a resource for buyers participating in their auctions, based on my experience, I would caution anyone considering using them to liquidate an estate--particularly when the belongings have significant monetary or sentimental value. Bronstein removed more than a 26-foot moving truck's worth of property from the estate. The truck was packed floor to ceiling, with additional items beyond that, and the belongings included antiques, artwork, sterling silver, designer clothing, furnishings, collectibles, and more. When everything was completed, my proceeds were a little over $600. What has been most concerning to me is not only the amount of the final payment, but the limited visibility into what ultimately happened to such a large volume of property. The sales documentation I received reflected approximately 85 auction lots. I understand that multiple items can be combined into a single lot, and I also understood when signing the contract that unsold items could be disposed of. My concern is not that I expected every item to sell. What I did not anticipate was turning over this volume of belongings and having limited information about the disposition of many of the items. I do not know which items were individually evaluated or offered for auction, which may have been grouped into lots, whether any items were sold in bulk or through other channels, or which items were ultimately donated or disposed of. I am not suggesting that anything improper occurred--I simply do not have that information. The lack of clarity in this area is what I found most difficult. I understood that not everything would necessarily sell. What I expected was that reasonable efforts would be made to sell the items identified for liquidation and that I would receive sufficient documentation to understand, at a general level, what happened to the property I entrusted to them. Had I understood beforehand that I could turn over more than a 26-foot truck's worth of belongings, receive documentation reflecting approximately 85 auction lots, receive a little over $600 in proceeds, and still have limited information about the disposition of the remaining property, I would have chosen a different approach. In hindsight, I believe I would have been better served by holding an estate or garage sale, pursuing individual consignment for higher-value items, and personally managing donations. My strongest advice to anyone considering consigning an estate is to ask specific questions in writing before anything is removed: whether all items will be inventoried, what documentation will be provided showing what was offered for sale, how items are grouped into lots, what happens to items that do not sell, whether items may be donated or disposed of without notice, whether retrieval is possible, and what records will be provided regarding final disposition. Estate belongings often represent more than physical property. They can reflect a lifetime of possessions with both financial and personal significance. Once those items leave your possession, you are placing significant trust in the company handling them. This experience was disappointing. If transparency, accountability, and clear documentation of outcomes are important to you, I would encourage careful consideration of other options.

    This is a fantastic auction house! I've gotten loads of super bargins plus hard to find old stuff!!…read moreThe auctioneer is really good! They also have handy food vendors so you won't starve! If you want a really good antique auction this is the BEST I've found in the south eastern region!! 5-Stars!!

    So much fun! Really TOP quality items for this particular auction! Interesting building, too (an…read moreold farmhouse). Cash, check & credit accepted w/ 5% off if you pay w/ cash or check. I highly recommend this auction house to anyone either looking for quality antiques or just wanting to check out an auction. Every item you see in the accompanying pictures was up for sale! Very old knives, swords, firearms (pistols, muskets, rifles from pre Civil War upward), armor, helmets, furniture, oriental rugs, paintings & prints by famous artisans (i.e. Dali & Rembrandt), Roseville pottery, Pairpoint Victorian brides bowls, glasswares, silver, 18th & 19th century clocks, Coca-Cola​ memorabelia (clocks & lights), fine jewelry, etc. were on the auction block. The majority of them came from two northern estates. Most offerings were primitives (16th century - 19th century... created prior to mass production) & most of those were from the 19th century. The beautiful property alone (acres of grassland) is worth a visit! Be sure to arrive earlier in the day of auction night to check out what will be auctioned at 6 PM; the place is open all day on so you can browse & jot down lot numbers. Register by 5 PM because bidders start early marking their chairs w/ makeshift scraps of paper. A program guide (aka a list of items being auctioned w/ their descriptions) will cost you $3. The downers: the auction room is NOT AIR-CONDITIONED. The fans aren't sufficient & they were turned on just 30 min prior to the start of the auction. (To keep temps down, though, there was a truck on the property selling ice cream & cold drinks:) Staff was also not as friendly as it should have been (they were rather disappointing); they also provided NO info on auction procedures, which would have been very helpful to this auction newbie. (Thankfully 2 friendly & experienced couples answered all of my questions.) This is a very good place to visit if you are in the market for QUALITY antiques. There is NO JUNK here. But you're forewarned: serious antique store owners occupy many of the rows on the auction floor, serious buyers are phoning in bids & bidding online during the live auction, the prices can go very high, & the auction can last 6+ hours. Checkout was fast & easy. There's a 15% Buyer's Premium (BP) charge on every item won; this covers administrative costs. You can grab a staffer (high school-aged kids) & s/he will assist w/ taking your purchases to your vehicle. Once you attend an auction at Turkey Creek, you'll be placed on the mailing list to get a heads up on the next auction date. If you've yet to participate in an auction, this particular one is WELL WORTH your patronage. However, if you want to "attend" online, you can bid from anywhere (providing your bid is over $100 & you pay a BP of 20%). Check out the online webpage to see what will be auctioned. The next auctions are July 14 (jewelry & coins only) & July 15, 2017.
