While the website (www.oldredbarnauction.com) gives you a good idea on whats going to be put up at the monthly (1st Sat of the month) auction, going there is a better idea. You can really see things and look them over carefully. They allow you in, give as much time as you would like and are helpful if you have questions. They have many pieces of furniture, much from older estates being sold. Some come in on consignment. There is artwork there, often some interesting pieces. They have old stoneware on occasion. Stamps come in from local dealers. China sets from "the old country" (which could be Russia, Belgium, Greece and any country in-between). Glassware from the 1920's. Leaded glass. Chandeliers. Some things will go for $10, others for $1,000. I have seen a few things go for much more. VIEWING is usually Friday afternoon before the auction, and Saturday afternoon just prior. Cash, MC, Visa, NO AMEX, local checks 15% BUYER'S FEE - I don't think there is a discount for cash. Seating is not super comfortable. but if you get there early enough its manageable. Or you can stand in the back area. Get there early on Saturday, parking will be difficult, at best. That's one annoying thing. The other is the cost of the food they serve. Ludicrous, and not good enough for the price. 5 stars because you don't go for the parking and food anyway, the auctioneer is good and he keeps things moving along.

This auction house has changed significantly over the years. In the past, auctions could last all…read moreday, with auctioneers actively engaging the crowd to drive bids higher. In the box lot area, there was even an auctioneer--an older man with a cane--who might spend 45 minutes or more on a single box. There was also a small kitchen where you could buy freshly cooked meals, which added to the overall experience. Today, the approach is very different. I see little to no online advertising for their auctions compared to other auction houses, aside from their website and a limited group they notify directly. Auctions now move quickly: items start low and end fast, with minimal effort to increase the final price. While this format can benefit buyers, sellers should be cautious. With the current pace and lack of active bidding, it is unlikely that items will achieve strong selling prices.

They were polite, and very sensitive to the concerns of a family when it came to the difficult task of 'clearing out'. I have since referred several friends to them. I feel it is important to react to 'Deinse K.', regarding her review. The auction that you refer to is, in fact, the one mentioned above. Just a suggestion but in the future, perhaps you should read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. Especially the part that says' READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE BIDDING !!' It clearly states dates and times that payments are required and what happens if you fail to comply, specifically: "... Payment is due on Thursday April 5th by 3pm and Pick up day is Friday April 6th from 10am-5:30pm. If you miss the pick up day, your items will be considered abandoned. Invoices will be sent the day after auction. Payments are only accepted thru LiveAuctioneers Invoice. No payments will be accepted at pick up location...." When you FAILED TO PAY in time, the Wittnauer watch you bid on was returned to me, the rightful owner. What did you expect them to do with it? It is interesting to note that with over 400 lots and more than 200 buyers, you were the ONLY ONE to not abide by the terms and conditions. Your review is inaccurate and borders on fraud. You owe the Stasaks an apology.
