This was very much appreciated as it is emotional and overwhelming to liquidate a loved ones belongings. I was very pleased with the online auction results as almost everything was sold.

I would not hesitate to recommend Clark's Auction Company!

Horrible, deceptive scammers. They gave a 1 day turnaround to arrange shipping for winning bids,…read moreand their "recommended shippers" quoted an extortionate $400-1400 to ship 1-2 boxes of clothing. Though I reached out to try and come to a resolution, the auction house refused to help or accommodate at all, leaving me no reasonable way to actually get my items. Updating my review after finally getting notice my items have been shipped: What should have been a straightforward transaction turned into a 3-week ordeal just to get my purchases shipped. Despite the auction house insisting that my items would require multiple large boxes (and implying extremely high shipping costs), an independent shipper was ultimately able to pack everything into a single 20" box. This directly contradicts the information I was given and raises serious concerns about the accuracy, or intent, of their "recommended shippers" and guidance. Additionally, the lack of support throughout the process was unacceptable. When I reached out for help navigating shipping, I was met with refusal, dismissal, and eventually blocked from communication altogether. I am a frequent auction buyer and have never had such an issue before. Being blocked instead of assisted when trying to resolve a legitimate issue reflects extremely poor customer service, not a difficult customer. I was aware of the timeline for shipping and contacted all of the recommended shippers in advance to get quotes, but did not get responses until after the auction. What I was not aware of was that your recommended shipping process would involve quotes that were wildly inflated and inconsistent with reality. My clothing business processes hundreds of packages per week, so I'm extremely familiar with what things should cost to ship. This was not a matter of "circumstances within my control", it was a matter of inaccurate information, lack of transparency, and refusal to help once the sale was complete. Bidders beware, and sellers should take their business elsewhere.

He was also willing and ready to jump into a new format and structure with us! He made some great suggestions and had insightful ideas that brought in more money than we had ever raised. He is always accessible and so down to earth (read: he is NOT a prima donna, like some auctioneers can be!) We have worked with him for 2 years, and plan to bring him back for as long as he is willing to put up with our crazy changes and requests! It is a huge bonus, for any education groups that use him, that he is also an educator. It adds such a personal touch to what he talks about and how he understands the importance of raising money for education!

Pros: - Full service site (handles research, listing and relisting if needed, payments, shipping, insurance, and manages any customer issues) - Responsive and patient (it is like working with a close friend who values your time and money) - Fair prices - Experienced staff Cons: - None yet!!!

He's absolutely great to work with!

I strongly caution anyone considering doing business with this auction company…read more After a transaction issue, they attempted to charge my credit card multiple times without authorization, even after I explicitly disputed the charge and instructed them to stop. The repeated charge attempts raised immediate red flags with my bank. Their communication was evasive and unprofessional, and instead of resolving the issue transparently, they continued trying to push transactions through. This behavior appears predatory and caused unnecessary stress, wasted time, and required bank intervention to protect my account. In my opinion, this company shows a complete disregard for basic consumer protections and ethical business practices. I have since reported the activity to my credit card issuer and am documenting everything in case further action is required. There are many reputable auction houses out there--this is not one of them. Proceed at your own risk.

Very bizarre experience. After reading the reviews for this company, I've noticed some similarities…read morebetween my experience and others. On estatesales.org they go by Estate Auctioneers, not Gilroy City Auction. I met Richie and he's...intense. I went to a liquidation of theirs in San Jose a few days ago. I was there for over an hour before met the guy in charge. He would only accept cash, didn't accept any other form of payment, and tried to overcharge me for some books. He wanted about 80$ for some secondhand weathered mass printed books. was surprised because the website said it was an 'emergency liquidation' and "everything leftover will go to the dump". Their website also said "FREE past noon', which is not uncommon in these types of situations. I've been to enough estate sales to know it's pretty shady to say things are free then charge ridiculous prices when people show up. left the books and drove away without buying. When called their number to explain to somebody that this is false advertising, Richie told me could just have them for free. Suddenly they're not worth that 80 anymore? I came all the way back and took them, but I don't think I'll be coming to any more auctions from this company. I also feel it's unprofessional to have movers boxing things up around the house as people are shopping. Lots that had been sold weren't marked, and I wasted a fair amount of time looking through things that weren't for sale. No signs, no AC, no name tags so customers can ask who to get prices from. Really shady, I won't be going their sales again.
