We hired this company to sell an extensive estate from our parent’s home. This was not an ordinary sale—Our parents previously owned an antique store and were lifelong collectors of fine items. Every day prior to the auction, We were promised a detailed lot review and visibility into the actual auction. No information was ever received. I can’t overstate that we requested this information on a daily basis. After the auction, we were promised a detailed auction breakdown for each lot nor was it received. We were charged $12,000 for a one day move to relocate the auction items less than 40 miles. This was ridiculous! Prior to signing a contract with this company, we were told to expect net receipts of $35,000-$45,000. We were also told that big ticket items like 4 foot high Limoges vases, Player Piano, etc. Would be featured in a “spectacular” online auction. It didn’t happen. Our final take on gross receipts of $34,000 was $10,000. BEWARE—THIS COMPANY AND THE OWNER BO PATRICK ARE SCAM ARTISTS!
