The Kimball Sterling Auction did a super job selling my personal items, antiques, sports memorabilia, and glassware. Process was easy and I was paid my proceeds promptly. Would highly recommend it selling an estate or just a few items. Fun to attend the sale also. Lots of unique stuff! read more

I've found Kimball Sterling to be knowledgeable, honest and forthright. On Labor Day 2023 he and his team did a house auction for us. Before the auction his men arranged and lotted our holdings and displayed them in a pleasing manner. He also advertised the sale in local newspapers and an Antique collectors trade magazine. Although attendance was quite good our sale was a financial disaster. Items that I collected for 40 years brought pennies on the dollar. The problem was that I held those items long after interest in them had diminished. Kimball did everything in his power to maximize the return on my investment. Since that time I've sold other items through his auction and been extremely pleased with the results. read more

If you want an honest opinion and account of this auctioneer, this will be it. He is very convincing when saying he will get every dollar he can but trust me when I say that YOU won't! My family lost over $35,000.00, we were offered more from an individual. I have since come across others that were highly dissatisfied. Here is a list of issues: Very poor preparation On occasion, you wait all day and no one shows up. Ad didn't make the local paper so the people that would liked to have come didn't know. He wanted to cancel Friday night after we had it all worked out and said it likely wouldn't do well due to the virus. I agreed due to HIS lack of interest. Workers put a hole in the wall He has a woman that sells food but never mentions it, she just shows up and needs a power source. He promised not to allow anyone to park in neighbor's yards or block their driveways but he had to be made to keep that as he watched it but didn't stop it. He brings another auctioneer that does appx half of the auction. Did not research unknown items to him that were very expensive so it was sold for nearly nothing. I could have taken it for scrap and received more. He bragged about buying items that will likely make him a hefty profit in my opinion. Trash, cigarette butts, etc. was left for us to clean up He told my mother he was going upstairs in her house to take a nap and did! If you want honesty and dependability, I strongly suggest you go elsewhere. read more
