My parents lived in their house for 25 years and there was so much to go thru and so many decisions to be make about everything! They have such knowledge to help guide you thru this very stressful and difficult process!!! They were so professional and kind to my mother who was going thru so much already! My mother also has an indoor cat so they had to keep his safety in mind when doing all their work! Diana was always there guiding us thru the process and if she wasn't physically there she was reached my a quick phone call or text! I highly recommend Diana and her team for all of your Estate sale needs! Thank u, Sherri

I didn't have a contract with her signed. She pushed her way here to come one day to the garage, only and ended up trying to get into the backyard where the other stuff was. We did not sign no contract and she took my jewelry home. I fired her on friday afternoon. She did not return the jewelry till saturday. Evening. Which I didn't even know she took until she returned it. And it had been gone through, what would you think about that. Should I had called the police and turned her in.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!…read more No respect for personal information. They clearly do not go through the units they buy as I came across at least 15 different documents that had social security numbers and birthdates. I get it they buy units at auctions that have personal info stored/ people pass away. But have decency people. Their records said $2.00 then why did the guy say $41 for a stack of 6 records?! Everyone I was with just left empty handed! That's ridiculous don't come and say they are all $2.00 then decide to up the price on a few of them. Not good business. Not to mention some of the records although rare (Rodney Dangerfield stand up) were scratched to hell and would be horrible to play. There is no flow to it at all. No set sections for anything and extremely over priced. Just keep on driving past on HWY 12 and find better quality in Sebastopol or go back to Santa Rosa.

So much that it was overwhelming. I contacted Sac Valley Auctions and met with Scott. He was professional, reasonable, and also more than helpful. Scott, Debbie and their team treat you like you could be family and treat your things as if they were doing this for their loved one. I highly recommend them and will be contacting them in the future for any downsizing I may need. They have to be some of the nicest people who go way over and above to meet their customer's needs.

Or perhaps even a print of the city you or a family member was born in, circa the year they were born? You can do all of that here. Want a treasured & priceless photo framed in museum quality materials? Ditto. We checked out old maps of SF. Before Coit Tower & after Coit Tower. And pics of the GG Bridge being built. Crazy. There's even a "library series" of scented candles. The selection is pretty astounding. Maps are organized in a drawer filing system by city &/or country, or in binders. A great place to explore the world & get lost in it. 5 stars.

We will definitely be back!!

Skip Domingos is a buyer's dream but a seller's nightmare. Bidders wait till he hits rock bottom…read moreof $10 starting bid, sometimes even as low as $1 before they bid so bidders get a LOT for their money and the folks that consign their things get zilch. If you're shopping for a deal this is the place to go but if you have things to sell you will do better with a yard sale or perhaps doing as little as placing a sign in your living room window of things you have for sale in hopes that someone driving by your house will see the sign and come knock on your door. The only one that really makes out in this place is Skip and the high bidders that walk away with everything for a song. This guy deserves zero stars but Yelp requires you give at least one. ;o(

The owner is selling all fake Chinese fake antiques, he clearly knows that they are fake but he is selling it anyway and pretending that they are authentic antique. This is terrible.

In the grand tradition of Ron Popeil, Fog City Auctions is truly a "Set it and forget it" shop…read more Andrew is able to provide a one stop location for your auction needs. He is able to take your items, research the current market value and provide a strategy to get the most value for your treasures. From managing the listing time, auction type, starting price point, and managing offers as received, he provides an end to end whirlwind of eBay jujitsu. I have used other auctions sites before (because I am essentially useless on listing eBay items myself), and Fog City Auctions is my go to from now on. Pros: - Full service site (handles research, listing and relisting if needed, payments, shipping, insurance, and manages any customer issues) - Responsive and patient (it is like working with a close friend who values your time and money) - Fair prices - Experienced staff Cons: - None yet!!! Do yourself a favor; clean out your closet, contact Fog City Auctions, and get $$$$ for your unused/old/collectible/unique items today!

He's great about responding to phone calls or emails promptly. He likes to price items higher, at least at first, and then lower them if necessary after a while.

He's absolutely great to work with!

Living hours away from Mendocino, I needed an expert with local connections who could coordinate the sale and dispersal of the contents of the house (ranging from a large oil painting to kitchen utensils) and who could turn over the house in good shape to the landlord. Claire Amanno was that person. She has expertise in evaluating many types of articles and can readily do efficient research to develop expertise in new areas. She deals very well with people, including family members, out-of-town prospective purchasers of fine art, and landlords. She shows initiative, as when she determined that certain articles would earn more if sold on E-Bay rather than during the onsite estate sale. And she does it all with speed, care, and the knowledge of who to call for local services, such as cleaning. I only had to come to Mendocino once. Claire Amanno did the rest. She deserves and gets my highest recommendation.
