“Extremely satisfied”

Barb W.
7/14/24

As a seller, I was completely satisfied with MaxSold. They were efficient with their communication with me, arrived on time to photograph the items I was putting my home on the market and needed to clear all the contents. The online auction occurred on the dates we agreed and Pick Up was arranged and was efficiently conducted. Staff was courteous and experienced. Accounting was provided quickly and to my satisfaction. I would recommend MaxSold wholeheartedly. Thank you for a job well done.

“Multiple technical issues”

Dwight Y.
3/13/24

First time seller and multiple technical issues such as: - Date I picked for pickup was not the date given to purchasers - Reports online differed from reports received (kept telling me one lot wasn't paid for online) - No instructions on what to do if lot isn't picked up - App DOES NOT link to a sale you've started - Uploading photos was a challenge Reported to Maxsold and basically told to bad. They only addressed the first issue and said a confirmation email had the same date as the purchasers despite their online system showing the data I had chosen.

In the past my main method of selling had locally advertised sales (estate, content and other) It was cumbersome and I was often visited by the same dealers over and over again. Now using the Maxsold platform the exposure is so much greater I get far more and many different types of buyers. It also has increased the average price on almost every item.The behind the scenes support has been quite awesome. The ease of process is pretty outstanding as well. It has always been timely! I know when working with an executor and or estate representative the importance of having complete transparency cannot be understated - Maxsold has it!

MaxSold auctions are my favorite place to look for unique items, collectibles, and great deals. It's easy to view sales, watch items, and bid -- I monitor local MaxSold sales several times a week. I've been a customer for years, purchasing furniture and items for my house and for my friends. I attached a photo of the beautiful set of 6 chairs I bought (and recovered) while visiting a friend in the Phoenix area last year. You never know what you will find but that's the great fun of it! The auctions are run professionally and every purchase/pick-up I've made has gone smoothly. I would recommend MaxSold to anyone with an estate that needs to be liquidated quickly, completely, and without hassle. I made sure my husband has the MaxSold contact information because he will certainly need it if I leave this earth before he does LOL!

Tip for consumers:
MaxSold auctions are easy to participate in. Go for it!

I had a great experience the very first time I used MaxSold, and now I'm telling everyone about it. (It's one of those great ideas that I wish I'd thought of first.)

I bought a beautiful 8-person set of dishes (china I plan to use for everyday). When I arrived for the pick-up, it was already boxed for me, and there were two men willing to carry it out to my car! (Of course, the seller invited me to open the boxes and check everything.) I also picked up a crystal platter, still in its original box, and two champagne flutes.

I'm hooked! What a great way to ensure previously-loved items are still being used (making it easier on the sellers), and terrific for young people just starting out to furnish their place at a lower cost, and keeps stuff out of landfill. How much better can it get?

I've attended auctions in the past and to be able to view and bid on several auctions from comfort of your home is amazing. Pick ups are always organized well and seamless. Plus I have an electronic record of all my purchases on MaxSold site. I found some beautiful and unique items over the years, and when it's time to downsize, I'll definitely use their services to auction off what I don't need. They're the best!

I am a full time Antiques dealer and have bought many, many great items that I have resold for huge profits. Many Sellers think doing it themselves is better, but if you don't know the difference between Sterling and Stainless, I am going to get a great deal. The pick up process has also also been super easy. I wish they would have shippers in the larger cities though, I often see pieces I would love to bid on and buy but can not make the specified pick up time or it is simply too far away. Shippers for even small items would be a great addition to this site. Overall 5 Stars!

Tip for consumers:
Look closely at the photos, the descriptions can be too brief.

I have used their site for buying only.

Nothing has beaten MaxSold for us in terms of setting up our new home. We used to Craigslist heavily, but MaxSold has all but made us abandon it. Somehow we always find someone selling a household item we need, it's always way cheaper than buying new, and it feels good to know that something will be reused instead of wasted. We've shopped over 100 auctions here and will continue to do so as long as they exist!

I have purchased items from Maxsold for the past five years! I am always more than satisfied. In fact, I usually wish that I had bought more items! I recently had a seller-managed sale which did incredibly well! All of my items sold for a fair market price. Maxsold made it easy with online training videos and documents to guide you through the process. If you encounter a problem or have a question, customer service will respond quickly and help you resolve the issue. I have dealt with other online estate sale companies and had problems. So, now I only deal with Maxsold. In my opinion, they are the BEST!

Maxsold is less of a hidden gem than it was before but you can still score a lot of awesome deals on antique, vintage, and modern stuff. The place, day-to-day and time of pickup are clearly stated so you can plan ahead or choose not to bid. Premiums seem fair and the bidding process is clear (though you set your max bid after your initial bid, I've seen some bids clearly by people who thought their initial bid was their max, the same as eBay does it).

I discover Maxsold about 2 years ago and have become a regular buyer. I just love that they start everything at $1.00 and let the customers decide on the value! I've picked up some great buys, and sadly have been outbid on some treasures! I regularly check for auctions in my area and have loads of fun treasure hunting!

I have participated in 6 auctions as a buyer and am happy with MaxSold, As with any auction that relies on photos you must do your research and bid within reason. Sometimes the pick-ups can be very busy and crowded and other times a quick in and out. Smart bidders can find real value once they become knowledgeable with the process.

I cannot count the amount of MaxSold auctions I have purchased from. Both in upstate New York and on Long Island. I have always had a positive experience – especially with the crews. They are so helpful and polite every time! I try and stay away, but MaxSold makes it impossible lol!

Over the past couple years I have made 8-10 purchases from MaxSold auctions without one issue.
I have found their directions to be quite clear as to bidding, pickup, time frames, etc. Every person I have dealt with so far was helpful and accommodating. If you read what they post you will have all the information needed.
One purchase I made included a fire pit. It was full of ashes. I dumped them out on site and that revealed that the bottom was burned out. I showed an attendant and the charge was promptly removed from my account. You do need to check your items on site as is clearly stated.
I buy from a few action sites and MaxSold is my preference. I purchased a full set of leathers, including boots, gloves and a good quality helmet for $60. I consider that a very good deal. I operate as a re-seller.

Tip for consumers:
Read the instructions when you use an auction site!

Products used:
-A full refund if issues with a purchase are noted at pick up.

I have used a multitude of items purchase through MaxSold. I am completely satisfied.

MaxSold is a great website for resellers and collectors to source or find items for their collections. The prices are usually a bit more affordable than other sites. The auctions run by MaxSold, in my experience as a buyer, are well run and the workers are extremely helpful. Chances of finding an auction at close distance to you is high and you can save on gas in this economy!

I've not sold with Maxsold, but have bought a few times. The site is easy to use, and pickup of items is only days afterward. The only issue I have is that the pickup times are very narrow and specific. Don't bid expecting them to ship it to you or wait if you get stuck in traffic. Living near LA, sometimes traffic IS an issue- just plan ahead and give yourself lots of drive time. Not all of the pictures do the items justice, so there is some risk. There are some items that are dirty, and you need to pack things up and move them yourself. I've found unique and useful items, and cheaper than estate sales. I picked up some china today, and it was a great deal!

What started off as moving Mom and Dad to a retirement community, auctioning what they didn't need, and selling their house became a three month trial of hospital visits for both, hospice care for my dad, and his passing. But in the meantime, plans had been put in place to move. I'm giving you all these details so that you know the context when I say that Heidi and her team were so helpful, so supportive, and so easy to work with through a very difficult time. They gave us the flexibility we needed as to when to start the auction process, and we knew exactly what was happening with every step of the way. I was so impressed with the research they did in creating the listings. Everything was so professionally done, and the whole process was incredibly smooth. They totally earned their commission. I highly recommend them, and would work with them again anytime.

Being new to the MaxSold auctions I didn't know what to expect. I made a purchase, got my invoice, selected a pick up time and eagerly waited for my pick up day. I was a little nervous at pick up but the MaxSold employees were very friendly and helpful making the whole process extremely smooth. I have already bought items from two more auctions and look forward to bidding on future auctions as well. Invoice: *******

There are a bunch of good things and a few bad things about MaxSold. Overall, you can generally get great deals whether or not you're reselling, furnishing a house or just looking for items to put in your house. The pickup experience can be good or bad depending on the team that is working and whether or not it is a partner-managed auction or MaxSold-managed auction. There are often mixed requirements about masks. Customer service can be tricky to work with and they offer no flexibility on pickup times once the pick up is scheduled. Overall, it is a pretty good experience.

Item was dirtier than looked in photos, with quite a bit more lint and dust and stuff stuck to the exterior than you could see in the pictures. But was expecting to be giving it a good cleaning and service anyways, so not a huge deal. Just may have worn gloves and an older shirt to pick it up :)

Started using MaxSold the middle of 2021. Signed up, added a credit card and started browsing the local auctions. So far have won over 10 auctions. Got a good price and the fee was acceptable. Just remember to account for the fee when bidding so you know what you are paying for the item. All items pickups were easy and fairly organized. Website is easy to navigate.

I can not praise the Maxsold team enough from helping me do the contract online to the four members of the catalogue team coming to my home. After looking days before at their video to help me understand the process, I took colored post-its and put them on everything I wanted to be in the auction and what I wanted to keep for my move. As a widow, letting go memories is not easy. When the Maxsold team came, they put my mind at ease that everything would go as plan until the last item was carried away. I can not thank them enough for there excellent service and support. I recommend them highly and have also recommended them to my friends.

My first purchase at max sold was 5 years ago and I've been a buyer ever since. It's an above average online auction business operated by some of the nicest, friendliest,, transparent, experienced and professional people in the business of selling merchandise--and, they sell everything from antiques, collectibles, fine art, household furnishing and even automobiles. In fact, one can furnish their home no matter what one's taste may be, And it can all be done from the comfort of one's living room or in fact even the washroom. It's fun. easy to navigate on the computer and always exciting knowing that you may find that special treasure--so good luck on your quest. John Hayden, Toronto
