I think Rebecca misread my intent. Hessney is not a ripoff, he sells to the highest bidder. If…read moreyou don't like it, don't buy it. As for the fees, the State Sales Tax goes to the State, not Hessney. The buyers premium is indeed a rip off (since Hessney likely charges the SELLER a fee as well), but it is clearly stated at the beginning of every single auction and on his web site. The saddest thing is that buyer's premium does not buy you any guarantees. I think if you are being told that an item is in a certain condition, then it turns out that it does not work the buyer's premium should allow you to bring the item back for a refund of the bid price. The buyer's premium should be an insurance policy, not an extra 10% fee for Hessney. I would waive insurance if I could waive the fee. But to waive any insurance and still pay a fee above an beyond your bid price is just thievery.

If you choose Spartan Auctions, you know you are in good hands.  Not only is Jeremy extremely…read moreprofessional and knowledgeable, he is friendly and honest. Jeremy does his research, and will be upfront with you about whether an item has value, and if it will be worth the effort to put up for auction. There are not enough businesses that go above and beyond for their customers. Jeremy came out to our storage locker, helped move items to take pictures, and helped move items back until they were ready for auction. I can't say enough about Spartan Auctions. Jeremy took the time out of his busy schedule to answer any questions, either by call, text, or email. He truly cares about his customers. Hands down FIVE STARS! You won't be disappointed!

They sent me damaged and missing items from lots that I've won. Instead of stepping in and reaching out to the shipper or even USPS they, made me do it with no info at all. They didnt even send me a shipping invoice on the shipping company and they expected me to call and give USPS all that info. I tried calling which they do not pick up my calls, they do not reply to emails, only have resorted through texting which they have been of no help. Their excuse was "My wife works at USPS, you can file". What a load of BS. These people are scum! I will be reporting them to the BBB and will also upload texts and emails from these people so you can see how unprofessional they are. Extremely frustrated with these people. Please stay away!

DO NOT USE Bernie!!!!! once you get past the geriatric shoes and the compression socks it just…read moregets worse. Bernie is the most self important narcissist I have ever met. There is NOBODY that likes Bernie more than himself. he doesn't have time for you and your questions nor concerns. he will tell you that you are the only one in his 37 year career that has any concerns or questions. He over promises and I would like to say under preforms. But underperforming is way much more than what actually happens. He will tell you that he can bring more. But that doesn't happen. He tells you he markets worlwide. No. Just because he sold a house to a guy in Aruba that doesn't mean he was from there. The guy was on vacation from Baldwinsville. His client base is not the "rich people " he claims to have. The bidders are his followers who are simply there to get a deal. And when they leave he then sells the good stuff to his employees at pennies on the dollar. Preperation for the auction only started in the morning of the auction that started at 10Am. HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT I HAD FOR SALE. During the auction I personally caught his trusted clients stealing from me. People were just walking away with my property. oh yeah. without paying. The auction? If you are DEAD and he is selling your estate. Well go for it. IF you're alive DONT DO IT! Over promise under preform? Literally came in at $200k less than what I calculated as a lowball figure. House went for $175k less than what a realtor could have gotten within 5 days on the market guaranteed by the realtor. Pickup trucks with plows went for 1/2 of WHOLESALERS price. equipment, guns, and all high dollar items fractions of value. 1/3 of the household goods never even made it to the auction. high dollar items were still there. He literally was selling shit for the last 4 hours to 3 people. Bidding a dollar for expensive items. Then his employees started gathering stuff up. And yes. They bought shit for a dollar. Brzosteck is a crook. Looking to make as much money for himself as possible so he can retire. Do yourself a favor sell your stuff yourself.

I recently attended an auction run by Brzostek's. His mic was on prior to the start so all his…read moreconversations could be heard by everyone. In my opinion and those of several people within earshot, he was often rude in his comments, particularly concerning 2 young Amish men he was speaking to. At one point, a women he obviously knew was fanning herself and he was disturbed by it. The interaction between the two of them was very uncomfortable to witness. His forbidding her to use the fan and her continuing to do so to the point he approached her and attempted to take the fan. Additionally, it was very difficult to see the current item up for bid as the staff stood in one spot with the items held at their mid section. With so many people seated in front of you, even bobbing and weaving your head, you could rarely see the item. He often barked orders at his staff, again a behavior that was uncomfortable to witness. Not sure I'd sit through another 6 hours of his auction.

They don't have listings on Auction Zip anymore and when I passed by a couple days ago on 8/25/21 there was grass popping up in the gravel parking lot. Looked like it hadn't been used for a long time. Did COVID close them down? I live 30 miles south and don't want to drive all that way on a Saturday evening just to find out that they are no longer in business. When they did have listings on Auction Zip I did enjoy going and bidding on items. There were lots of "hidden" items that you had to poke around for in order to find before the bidding began.

I attend many auctions and this was my first time at this one. You are at the owner's mercy when…read moreyou go here. The auction started out as most and continued along until she felt she wasn't getting enough money for the items. She refused to sell things which she had put online as being up for auction, saying the crowd was not spending enough money. I have been an online seller for several years and do my research before I buy. She was pulling prices out of the air, telling the crowd she would not sell some pottery items for less than$20 starting bid as she KNOWS they are worth at least $100 or $150. I know these pieces and have sold several. They sell for about $35. She became miserable and refused to sell more saying the crowd was not serious about buying. I have never been to a place where the owner put up a tantrum and stopped selling things that were advertised to be sold. This was definitely a first and last for me.

There was no clear cut provenance on this particular piece. However, they went out of their way to insure me that it was real as a result of the other high end bidders. They did not reveal their identity but assured me that those in the industry had assured them of the authenticity. They also sent me links on similar items that helped reassure me. After I won the auction piece they were able to make special arrangements for delivery since the piece was extremely fragile. I also looked at their Tiffany selection which I thought was very good. Their bid fees are very reasonable in comparison to some other auction houses. I will use them again.
