MaxSold

My friend bought 3 over the shoe racks because maxsold listed it as "new over the door racks". I picked up the items for her as she can't drive. The items were in a box when I picked them up. Took them to my friend and she immediately inspected them. All three were missing the hooks that go over the door. As it was late in the evening she waited until the next day to call. She was told to fill out the return fund form which she did. Now they are saying they are refusing to return her money! They say all items should be inspected on pick-up. This ridiculous when you are in someone elses home with a number of other people picking up items. If they sell the items as new it is there job to inspect them otherwise don't list it as new. BUYER BEWARE!

I see a lot of bad reviews about reading the fine print. If you enter a contract of course you need to read it first. You have no right to complain because you feel "shilled" or wronged. Their terms are up front and also their refund and refund policies are expressly stated. Even as a buyer, before each bid they let you know the "actual" cost including the premium so there should be no reason to complain and incompetence is not an excuse.

I think more money could have been made for MaxSold and myself, if the pictures in my catalog had been staged. I did have a lot of items, but I see the Seller managed sales and all the items are neatly displayed on a table. If this is what is recommended for a Seller Managed sale than MaxSold should do it too. The items should have been staged and then placed where ever their lot was located for pickup. I had three people working my very large sale, but two of them were new to the business, still in the learning stage. I added some pictures but I could do nothing about the catalog picture to draw the customer in. I could not tell what some of the items were from the pictures. This was the best way for us to sale due to the volume of items, it would have taken me years to sale each item on-line; but I still feel like it could have been better with a better picture catalog.

Having worked with numerous auction houses and estate sale outfits locally in New England, I feel that the tools and support Maxsold has developed and supports, does make my job both easier and more efficient.

Other outfits require minimums that can be unrealistic and a waste of time.

Who else can we turn to sell a case of motor oil or a gold pocket watch, in the same sale!

No one other than Maxsold.

Maxsold has made estate sale shopping so easy! I can view items from home and decide if I want to bid - no more trudging from place to place to see if there's anything worthwhile or in my budget. I found the item descriptions accurate, and the many pictures of each item verrrrrry helpful. I've been to 2 pick up for auctions I've won, and both times I was so impressed with the staff. Folks were nice, helpful and friendly. I love to refinish furniture, so I'll absolutely be back!

I have bid and won on several items through MaxSold, and have always had a great experience.

They are my favourite online auction company and I like that their buyer's premium fee is only 10%. Website is easy to use and every time I have gone to pick up my items, the pickup is always very organized.

I have gone to pick-ups through other auction companies and when I got there, someone had stolen some of my items I had won. With MaxSold they have staff supervise and help you find the correct items, so this type of situation does not happen. I would highly recommend them!

A number of times we have had items stolen before pick up. You purchase a series of items. The people running the auctions never check for theft so someone walking out with one or two of your items is a frequent occurrence. If those items were part of a package, you are still responsible for the entire cost even though it is missing items.

I have been using Maxsold now for about 5 months and I couldn't be more pleased with the items that I have purchased. However, believe it or not, this is not why I love Maxsold - it's the people who I meet at each pickup location! Since I have become a regular buyer, I usually see the same employees from Maxsold and they are always so pleasant and helpful! It is almost as if I am visiting old friends! They are informative and always call my be name when I get there, which is really nice to be so fondly recognized! It's kind of like a fusion of the sitcom Friends meets Storage Wars (without the phony Hollywood garbage!).

MaxSold seems to have come up with a unique way of selling stuff. They don't try to sell to a particular market, just sign up and go. I have already told many people at work, personally, and have put it up on Facebook. I am a fan for life. Well... gotta go. More bidding to be done.
