Awesome people. I started going there about a year and a half ago at the recommendation of…read moresomeone. Not only are the items they offer worthwhile, the owners are 100% honest and if there is a problem they will rectify it for you without you even knowing. Great people . Although far away from me in Cheektowaga, this is *THE PLACE* to go and I try to get there every week for great bargains. As busy as they are Todd makes sure things are RIGHT! Honest man. I highly recommend Bontrager and couldn't recommend any other auction house more.

Comments about my post show lack of knowledge of an absolute auction. Basically, an absolute…read moreauction is either by consignment or actual sale of items to the owner of the actual business, not the auctioneer, who usually is an employee or even a partial owner I like auctions because it should be competitive and offering items useful for a specific purpose. Legally an auction business is a second-hand dealer selling items based upon the highest bidder. It may be a fun event, and even a place to meet individuals of similar interest. Best to actually know what you are bidding on, and during the auction listen closely to the representations made by the auctioneer.

This auction is always tremendous fun! What makes an auction is…read moretwo bidders, both bent on owning a thing, and each one can afford the object being bid on. Of course, if you intend to participate, you have to do your homework. You have to look the pieces over in advance. Sometimes it requires a bit of research. Kelly always announces that he is not responsible for the final price in any way. Your bid is up to you. His offerings range from misused, little wanted antiques, to very rare, desirable pieces. The rest is up to you. You cannot blame him if you buy something that you later decide you really don't love. Take care, and have fun! I always do!!

I like this place. They have an auction every Thursday and when it gets warmer on Saturdays. The…read moreauctioneer Matt is good, and the staff tries hard to do a great job. The content of the audience and vary from simple household stuff to old glass, The great things about an auction is that there are three metrics, auctioneer, staff, and buyer. I like the people that come to this auction because it represents a great cross section of WNY. We are all there trying to find a treasure or need. My attitude is that there is much to be found with knowledge. That applies to any auction. Come to one of Matt's Academy Auction's auction. There's plenty of free parking, and the pizza is excellent.

Went for flowers today but came home with nothing but self respect. I needed a few more flowers to…read morecomplete my yard for the upcoming garden walk...I selected a few large hanging baskets, potted zinnias, cannas, hydrangeas & other items but while I was selecting plants my husband over heard the guy give a price much lower to other shoppers and when we asked about the prices we were quoted almost double....when my husband called the guy "out" he called him a "liar". As we walked away...he became more enraged looking for attention because we decided NOT to buy the flowers at the higher price or give his bad behavior any further attention. He told us not to ever come back lol...I think he missed our intent was to NOT spend our money with him and we decided we will not be back to buy flowers from him. Buyer beware ...Post the prices and that's all I'm going to say about that!!! He got caught and did not like it.

I did enjoy how the market was outside and inside but the quality of stuff they had to offer and…read morethe prices where a little high for me(overpriced). I didn't find much of anything other than a couple little things like a record of Elvis (a gift for my mom-paid $10 for the record) and some kids stuff. I did enjoy the little wine tasting/slushee they had at a booth. They also had a cute train set up for the kids to watch. I was surprised they had a booth with plants and a couple food booths if you get hungry. Sorry I forgot to take a picture!!

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!

When it came time for our restaurant to conduct a major renovation- including upgrading our kitchen…read moreequipment- we called on Eric Monahan at Cash Auctions to help us sell all of our contents. The entire process was conducted professionally and seamlessly. Our participation was minimal- Eric and his crew handled everything from beginning to end. From their thorough auction preparation, to their contactless online auction, to the auction pick-up, everything was conducted in a timely and dignified manner. We received an accurate accounting and prompt payment after all the contents were removed. I've already recommended them and will do so again.

I had just found Cottone Auctions on line. I was very inquisitive and requested information on an…read moreEgyptian sarcophagus that was for sale. 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.
