Just completed an estate sale with MaxSold and I would not recommend the experience to anyone.The ladies who came to do the inventory were very nice, and thanked us repeatedly for putting the items into organized lots with written descriptions of the better things. We did a walk through with them and pointed out the most valuable items, and also noted the stuff that was not. The finished product-- i. E. the listing in general-- was a mess. The things that we said were valuable were clumped into one lot, and photographed heaped on the bed-- I had to go over the reshoot them all. If you're going to pay the $700, it would be great if you didn't have to correct the spelling, retake or rotate the photos-- and of course there were lots of great options for the main photo for the sale, but what was chosen was a handicap lift chair--again, lousy way to market the sale. And, the main thing-- on the beginning contract where you list the most valuable items (which I don't believe was used in any way to market the sale) was the dining room table with 8 chairs. This is the item that warranted us doing the Maxsold managed vs the seller managed-- we knew the table was worth alot of money and should pay the $700 by itself. Then my husband noticed that the eight chairs were not described or listed in the sale at all. We sent them photos of the chairs to update the auction, and got no response.

So, at the end, we ended up selling the table for $90, no chairs, and we have 8 chairs that will be going to Goodwill. Here are the main problems I have with my experience with Maxsold-- the people cataloging the stuff are not knowledgeable enough to know what's good and what is not-- and they do a pretty lousy job shooting them. And secondly, the managers at Maxsold are very friendly on the front end, but as soon as you sign the contract it turns to nothing but threats and nos. In short, you won't get much money for your stuff and its frustrating as hell to deal with these people. Donate everything and take the write off! Buy from their sales though, because they do a lousy job of photographing, describing and marketing so you probably will get someone else's great stuff way under the money--then you can make back the money they lost selling yours!
