MaxSold

I hired MaxSold to help me clean out my mom's large family home after she passed away. My brother and I went through the house and removed a good number of treasures we would be keeping, and were able to agree the items left were now 'stuff' to be sold. I think this realization was key and it enabled us to truly 'let go' of the items to be sold.
I found the crew to be professional and VERY good at what they do. The cataloging process was relatively simple and straight forward, and it was very interesting to learn the philosophy behind why they sort the way they do.
In the end, 80% of the goods in the house were sold, leaving only 20% for us to deal with. When we completely emptied the house (remember, with only 20% of the contents left) we still filled a single garage with donations for the Salvation Army AND filled a 20 yard dumpster. I cannot imagine what we would have done without this auction.
In the end the items were sold for $1500, and our take was just under $350 - for which I was immensely grateful. Not only did we save 80% our mom's items from going in the garbage, but we got paid for someone else to clean out the house. A complete win/win in my books.

First off, let me start off with a counter for some of the negative reviews for MaxSold on here. I am in no way affiliated to the company, or any of its employees, and am only leaving feedback because I have been using the site for the past 6 months or so and feel that its under-rated as such.

If you go into it with the mindset that its for 2nd hand, and used items, then you're off to a good start. It's similar to that end to eBay and other 2nd hand auction sites, with the exception that the items are as is. If you understand that "as is" means that you may get an item that is stuffy or mildew smelling not usually listed in the brief descriptions, but understandable if you think that many of these items have been in storage for decades, and even in basements), or may have blemishes and imperfections (of course listed in the descriptions), then you're more than likely not going to be negatively surprised.

I have found many great bargains on some of the less flashy items for sale, as most people on the site either don't know the value of some of the items, or are too busy to concern themselves with some of the less popular items. Most I have turned around and resold for a profit, but there are a couple of under-rated treasures that I have held onto that are just that, real treasures!

MaxSold is definitely worth a try, but be warned, you just may get hooked!

. I recently joined Maxsold and found that the whole site is very easy to navigate, and they had a lot of items that I have been looking for. The whole process of bidding was super easy, and you don't have to stay on the website to keep an eye on the auction, if you bid, and someone happens to outbid you, Maxsold instantly sends an email to you letting you know that you have been outbid, and the email has a link to bring you directly to the auction page where you can actually bid higher on the item, as well as was on option to have a max bid. I was in high heaven seeing items that I was interested in and being able to bid on them was even more awesome. And the bids did not start high, they start at $1.00. I won 4 I received an email as to the fact that I won, and information on going to pick up my items. Lots and was so excited to go pick up my items. That day, unfortunately, my vehicle broke down, and I was not able to pick up my items, and I received a phone call from Maxsold reminding me about the items that I needed to pick up, I explained my situation to them, and they completely understood, they instantly sent me a refund form in my email, and after I filled it out, they had my refund process completed before I knew it. I could not have been happier. I feel like Maxsold goes way and beyond my expectations. Keep up the great work Maxsold!
