To our surprise at reeds auction we had 2 items stolen one of which was a gift for my brother; I'm very disappointed I'm NOT blaming Reeds Auction but when you bid on something you expect to receive the ITEM. It is just sad that there are thieves out there. We have had dealings with other auction houses that close off the premises so you can't meander around and your items are brought to you, maybe this is something that could be considered so this doesn't happen to another bidder.

He claims he shipped them. USPS tracking info never even registered it in the system. My items have never arrived. The owner refused to pay a refund. He hid behind his fine print in his auction rules. He refused to file an insurance claim on my behalf. (Shipper has to file the claim) He even stalled so long the insurance he provided on the packaging lapsed. So now its my loss, not his. I would say if you are considering doing business with True Blue Auctions and Skip, that you just move on to a more trustworthy and reliable auction house. Because True Blue Auctions in State College, PA is definitely not a auctioneer or auction house I will ever deal with again. Protect your money and stay away.

The people who work there were friendly to newbies like me, and explained how things worked patiently (you go on the preview days to check out the items; they sell catalog booklets so that you can circle the lot# of the things you are interested in and take notes. On the day of the auction, they go in the sequential order of the lot # starting from 9am. The later stuff is said to be probably more valuable.). I appreciated that the owners do make a first pass appraisal at all the stuff people wanted to sell, so that the items they had on display were not as hit-or-miss as your typical yard sale.

I am relatively new to this Auction Gallery and have enjoyed my exposure to it so far (two auctions…read morein, bought something in the first one.) The items are all online and up for about a week or 10 days. The bids of others are transparent to you. The item descriptions are adequate. The items are art -- paintings, paper works ceramics, jewelry, objets de vertu ( which means precious little things) sculpture, etc. You can check out all the monthly to bi-monthly auction items in a hour or an extra 30 minutes...so it's not intimidating or overwhelming. The item I bought was definitely not a "steal" but I have seen some item go for a really good price (that I was not personally interested in). The auction also operates in Cleveland and if you are a successful bidder they notify you by email and you can indicate if you want it shipped to you (for which they charge) or if you prefer to pick it up at their Ellsworth Ave./Shadyside storefront. They will let you know when it is there and you can go pick it up. I have found this a diverting and pleasant activity -- most especially in these cooped up COVID times~

My wife had a conference at Stonewall Resort so I tagged along and looked for an auction to attend…read more I found an estate auction held by Joe Pyle. There were a couple things I noticed from attending the auction. First is that this auction company is honest. Items were described well and when there were flaws the auctioneer pointed them out. Some auctioneers will not do this. Of course items are sold as is, where is, etc but it is nice to know that the auctioneer is looking out for the buyers as well as the seller. The auctioneer was also knowledgeable about the items they were selling. Another thing I noticed, one of the helper staff went out of his way to correct an error by one of the bidders. The staff member just took it upon himself to quickly rectify the situation with no interruption to the selling. The auctioneer never knew there was a problem. It is nice to know that the auctioneer and his team have that kind of relationship so that everyone is working to provide excellent customer service. I wish I did not live 4 hours away from this auctioneer!

I won several lots at an auction. I was not able to do the pick up day due to work. My husband…read morestepped in to go pick up my items. I sent him with my invoice from the auction service. When he arrived to the scheduled pick up appointment time there were already several people there for pick up. Online it says 5-6 people are scheduled at a time. There were a lot more. That wouldn't be a problem except the workers were very overwhelmed by customers. They helped him load some things, and erroneously checked off the inventory list. When I started doing inventory, I realized several lots were missing. Some of the lots that I did get had items missing from them. I called the next morning and was directed to Colton who was in charge of the auction. The First Lady I spoke to said it was possible that the missing items were being held by the staff so she transferred me over to Colton. I will admit my attitude was probably not pleasant. I will assure neither was his. He told me that I was responsible for finding the lots I had won. He said if something was not picked up from an auction he does not have access to it any longer. (That's not what the First Lady said) He told me that I should have sent pictures with my husband to make sure that each item was in the lot. He stated that the invoice was not enough to identify what was in the lot. I spoke to him about organization and customer service. He maintained that it was my fault I did not get what I paid for. He states that they do not have enough time to check and see what everyone is picking up. He also stated that some of the pictures may have had other lots in the corner of the picture. I told him the lots were very specific in the pictures. He told me that he would refund me. He told me that he does not agree with me, and that our conversation was not going anywhere, but he would refund me.It's been 24 hours and I have not seen a refund as of yet. I paid online, I have not been refunded online. Maybe they will mail a check. Probably not. It's funny that the items of more worth in my are missing--and that is my fault. Why were the lots not organized and together? It's also funny that I found one of the exact sets of dishes on Facebook marketplace within 24 hours of the auction...exact set that I was missing. It even has the few mis matched pieces that were in the set. I have the rest of the set if that person sees this. I'll sell it to them. lol! I've typed all this to say...my first experience with Joe Pyle auction was not a good one. I got some things yes. Maybe Colton is new,I don't know. He seems like it. The auction pick up he was in charge of was chaotic. Hopefully it was just a one time thing and not how he runs things. I've been attending auctions a while. I have bought several items At a time at auctions and I have never had this happen. Not on this scale. It's no big deal, it's just stuff....but I promised Colton I'd leave an honest review and here it is! I almost forgot to add. After our first conversation he called me back to tell me that the workers seen the rest of my items at the end of the day and they wondered why no one came back for them. They checked off each lot that was loaded---well they checked it off....but I guess they didn't check it. They also told my husband that all the lots were loaded and ready according to the invoice. Colton told me that they aren't allowed to load anything, but guess what, they did. If what the workers said is true.....they didn't make one phone call, no contact....nothing. I call bull!! They had all my information. I know this sounds like I'm being a "Karen" but Colton says I'm wrong and I want everyone to know how this business operates. I don't have to be right. I just wanted him to be decent. I wish you could trust a business but you can't, not this one. I'll be keeping an eye out on the resale market for the rest of the items. I'd like to suggest a specific check out station at your auctions. This would ensure that the lots are accurate and that people aren't taking stuff. Thanks for listening.
