I signed a contract with Maxsold just prior to the onset of COVID, with the plan to sell the contents of my mother's home as an estate sale in May, 2020. Maxsold closed down when mandated, and I had to put the contents in storage until we could arrange the auction.
We finally opened for auction last week.
Maxsold did not offer any rebate on the cost of the auction, most of the work I did myself: photography of items, detailed description of items took me hours of prep. They still charged almost $500 service fee, and took a 30% commission. I ended up netting less than half of what I sold. Once I include the 5 months of storage, I have a net loss for tons of beautiful, perfect condition furniture pieces. I would have preferred to donate.
