No one, absolutely no one, can bring people together and conduct an auction as professional and as full of fun as Ken. He is undoubtedly a man of unwavering principle and character in addition to the degree of integrity that is seldom witnessed in the auction industry. We are proud to have him as our auctioneer and could not and would not ever have anyone else to conduct our auctions! Affordable Stor Mor Escondido, CA read more

If you drove by this place, you'd never guess what's hiding inside. From the outside it looks like…read moreit's all furniture, but don't be fooled. Head to the back and you'll find a beautifully curated selection of thrifted gems, from clothes to accessories to unique finds, all at really reasonable prices. This has become one of my favorite Saturday afternoon rituals in Oside. There's just something about the hunt, the vibe, and the little surprises you find every time. Lisa is the best. So kind, welcoming, and a big part of what makes this place feel special. Pro tip, follow them on Instagram so you can keep up with their sales. If you love thrifting and hidden gems, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

You never know what you are going to find, and the prices are consistently incredible. Todd, the owner, is genuinely one of the nicest, most down to earth people you will meet. He truly wants to help everyone and it trickles down to his team. They make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The employees are amazing as well. It feels like a family atmosphere, not just a store. Everyone is friendly, remembers your name, and goes out of their way to help. They have even offered to carry items out to my car, which you just do not see very often anymore. This place is a gem. Great deals, great people, and an all around great experience every time. Highly recommend. Twenty billion stars out of 5.

I did an auction in Escondido that was hosted by Kevin. It was super fun. Kevin is was someone who genuinely cared about the seller and the new receiver of the merchandise. Everything was perfect. The auction was easy straightforward to understand the pick up I made my appointment showed up. Everything was there. It's just easy.

At least in my experience, if you have a question about an item or something is not clear, you can reach out to them and they will answer your questions.

I popped in for a battery replacement that took mere moments...then, when I discovered the next day…read morethat my entire watch was on the fritz, I came back in hot thinking that the battery replacement had damaged the watch. Mo was a consummate professional, counseling me that the problem had predated the battery replacement, explaining what had caused the current issue, and offering to make a full repair. He then comped my repair because I had (incorrectly!) thought that his battery replacement had caused the damage and he (correctly!) stands by his work. When I realized my mistake and apologized and tried to pay for the repair, he refused to let me and said that he hoped he'd see me again as a customer. I will not only be back, but will share this story with anyone looking for a place that operates with both skill and integrity. This may be a small episode in his business's story, but it's one that will stick with me. Thank you, Mo!

Not only did he do an amazing job with making the ring a size larger l, he educated us on how to size the ring. We would have gone way too big otherwise.

He is professional and did the resize right there in front of us in about ~15 min. He is kind and educated us on how to size a ring. His shop is small and cutely designed. Made me feel like he has a great passion for what he does. Highly recommend!! Side note, this shop is in a large building with many other jewelers/smith's in it. Make sure you find S &L. There is another shop (I think it's like F &L or something like that) on the same floor. When you get to the correct floor you turn right and it's around the corner. Ask for Steve. He's amazing.

Well what can I say the auctions are fun to go to. Ken is one of the best auctioneers because he makes them fun. Note to all remember Ken is the auctioneer just like us all he finds out what is in the unit when we all get there and open it. So if you want to buy high end units with no trash and all the expensive goodies like in the show sometimes happens. Well good luck with that always keep in mind the 80/20 Rule and at a good unit is a 50/50. read more
