Attended my first auction, with this auctioneer. I drove an hour and fifteen minutes to attend this…read moreauction in Western St. charles. My main reason for going was to purchase the two vintage Schwinn bicycles. They were advertised, with multiple pictures, on the auctioneer's web site. I arrived early to review the items. Things went downhill soon after my arrival. I registered and went to look for the bicycles. I was then told that the better of the two was pulled from the auction. I was disappointed, but held out hope for the other one. About an hour and a half later i looked over to where the other bike was sitting and noticed it was gone. I asked about the second bicycle and learned that it too was pulled during the auction. I am now livid over the way things were going. I also learned, from other frustrated customers, that other items were pulled, without any notice. Some other issues include the fact that the auctioneer stated that there would be two auction rings. That never happened, which resulted in a very long painstaking auction process. The positives for this auctioneer include adequate staffing and relatively low commission percentage. I promise to upgrade my review, should my next experience be a positive one. However, i must give this auctioneer a big thumbs down for nw.

I am responding to the comment about the items that were pulled from the auction at st. Charles…read more There were 4 items pulled. 2 bikes which when the customer came up to me and asked where they were at I said right there. He said no they aren't. They were there 45 min ago. , I stopped the auction I was conducting and called everyone that was available including gate security which said yes Casey rolled them out. So I called the owner of the farm. In front of the entire auction attendees the owner admitted he had given them to his sister who they belonged to as a child. He apologised and I told him infront of all the customers he cannot be pulling items on auction day. It is unethical and wrong as well as there is a contract in place. The 2 other items that were pulled were pulled before the auction started and had an attorneyetter attached to the request for the item to be pulled. One item was a furnace and a John Deere mower that were to remain on the property as part of the sale of the property. So please please understand that auctioneer did not do anything unethical or wrong. The seller did. And as always all auction announcements made auction day take precedence over any other prior info. At the start of that auction I stated the I'd mower and furnace were pulled. All auctions are recorded for our protection.

Christies, etc) to the middle tier (Doyle, Bonhams, Heritage, etc) to the smaller auction houses including Toomey & Co Auctioneers. Although I have only purchased from Toomey a few times, the transactions have been flawless in all meaningful ways. High quality items, upscale but still reasonably priced, professional, friendly, responsive, trustworthy. I do not hesitate to rate Toomey & Co Auctioneers as 5/5 *****. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AUCTION HOUSE

I received billing for shipping through Wright Shipping, which uses only third-party shippers. They recommend shippers and then you pay separtely. Fine. I went with UPS. When the package was routed to the wrong place, I was left twisting in the wind and told that I would have to pay additional charges to actually get it delivered. Wright made no attempt to resolve the situation, help me, wave repeated additional fees, or intervene. I had an account at Christie's in NYC and London for decades and, trust me, they did not act like this. I would suggest that they either provide minimal service (like reading emails) or waive one-of-the-heftiest-in-the-business buyer's premiums. I copied Kevin in their shipping deprtment on all correspondence and he did not contact me. When I called him, his attitude was . . . "well, what do you want me to do." I made several suggestions including calling his colleague Julie at the UPS store . . . "oh, I spoke to her this morning . . . she says just pay a charge and they'll refund it to you." Right, because they've been so honest and so proactive all along. God knows if I will ever get my auction item and God knows if Toomey's description will be halfway accurate.
