Auction Ohio

Penni A. Lowery

If I could give this company zero stars, I would. I met with the principal of the company several times and one of his affiliates who was actually handled most of my dealings with the company. I hired them to handle an auction of my vintage cars with the understanding that they would do follow-up auctions either on site or online to handle the rest of my possessions in the three barns that I own. We decided to have two online auctions before the car auction. These auctions were made up of mostly garage tools and car parts. They assured me that after these auctions were finished, everything listed in the auctios would be gone or at least if not everything then only a few items would be left. They ran out of time to inventory, photograph and listi everything and only ran the online auction for about 4 days. The results were pretty poor. I didn't expect to make a lot of money but not only did I not meet my fairly low monetary expectations, I had several things that were never picked up left and I also had many, many things that didn't ever make it to the auction because they ran out of time. After the two online auctions, they auctioned my classic cars. Auction Ohio had promised to advertise in Hemmings. By the time they got around to listing the cars, they missed the printed issue of Hemmings and only advertised the cars online. This was one of many balls they dropped as far as advertising. I had to constantly call the company and point out mistakes or omissions in the online advertising. Since the auction, I have had several local people tell me they didn't even know there was an auction. This was embarrassing to me and a clear indication of their lack of attention to advertising. The car auction has come and gone. Results were mixed. When I met recently with the auctioneer that handled my first three auctions, I was informed that he would not be able to finish the job. Not only was he unable to finish the job but he told me that no one in the Columbus area could finish the job for him. Yes, I live an hour away from Columbus but that didn't seem to be an issue when they had the high dollar items of the car auction. Now that the car auction is over and they have made their money, they are deserting their promise to me to see this through to the end. I guess if you have small, fairly low dollar items, this company might be a good match for you if they will initially handle your auctions.. If you have high dollar items, make sure that they aren't going to make promises to you that they will not keep. I hope this review has been helpful to others.
