If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

I used them for home clean out and downsizing after my husband's death. I could not have gotten through all I had to clean out and get rid of with out their services.

I especially like that they are also in real estate. I was moving after the auction but had agent and didn't know where to begin. But again, they are a stellar team. My whole process from Auction pricing, clean out to home sale was completed in 2 months. I never could have done that without them. They are the best and I'm glad I used their services for my needs.

They did the set up, ran the sale, and cleared up afterwards. Things were very artistically and effectively arranged, and most sold.

I was going to remove these critical reviews once I received my deposit. But here we go! They…read morecharged me a $200 'reconditioning' fee because I was there less than 8 months. Here is what Mary N. (KMS MGMT said.. "f. Unit Reconditioning Fee i) Will be charged to any Resident who vacates prior to residing in their current Unit for less than eight (8) months ii) Fee is based on the size of the Unit; Studio/1BR $175, 2BR $200, 3BR $250 Reconditioning fees are to recoup a portion of the cost incurred when we have to "turn" (paint, shampoo carpets, etc) apartment. Standard leases are for 12 months so turning an apartment happens once per year. We certainly understand that a shorter term lease is necessary for some people so we do offer them however this fee would be incurred. Once you have lived in the apartment for a minimum of 8 months, this fee would no longer apply." Mary N. also told me that I absolutely was told about the fee and that it is in my lease...Really? So after I sign and receive my lease it is then in the fine print under sub section f (see above). I talked to Breanna and applied etc etc..asked about fees too! Never was told about this at all. I applied from TEXAS and came 2200 miles and arrived that day to sign paperwork...do you really think I would have time to read sub section F??? When I asked about fees this should have been told to me RIGHT when I said I wanted a 6 month lease! So the take away here is that you cannot believe what the leasing agent will tell you-at all. You know what? I wouldn't be as upset with this if the apartment was cleaned, painted and in good repair when I moved in. It wasn't. Please also know that, once again, I've lived in dozens of rentals and this is THE FIRST to charge such a bogus fee because, with shorter leases, isn't paying extra rent FOR the short lease enough? It was for every other place in Dallas, San Antonio, NYC, Miami, Las Vegas. etc etc....not here though! Mary N. told me that the rent I paid was 'market appropriate' but failed to explain why people who rent short-term pay higher rents than people who sign a year lease AND PAY A $200 FEE??? I cannot stress it enough that, unless you are extremely desperate, do not consider living in this place. It is the worst I have ever lived in-period.

The appraisal only included the exact information I had already given, along with what seems like a "guess" regarding the auction price. It seemed like they didn't take the time to properly appraise the painting at all.

I feel like I was ripped off, and I would never recommend this company or use their services again. I suggest finding a different appraisal company to save yourself the money.

I have been fighting to get my payment for nearly a year now. Birkeland & Associates held an estate sale at my house in March of 2010. I gave them a signed copy of their contract with some minor fair business amendments which we had verbally agreed upon prior to the sale. After the sale they refused to tell me what the total sales amount was, or give me an inventory of what was sold, or pay me any money! They owe me over $5,000 (that's after they get their 30% for ripping me off), won't return my phone calls, and have blocked my emails. After some investigation I have learned that they've had numerous complaints with the Better Business Bureau & many other customers who were unhappy with their shady dealings & slow payment. During that investigation I also learned that they setup their sales for shill buyers & book double receipts & sell your stuff for far less than even eBay value. I have filed complaints with the BBB, & Attorney Generals office. I won a judgment against them in October 2010 in conciliation court & 3 months later they still haven't paid! I will be posting reviews about this nefarious company to warn others.
