I have been to many auctions both in the UK and USA and in my opinion people think that their stuff is worth far more than it actually is. What they don't realize is that an item is only worth what anyone is prepared to pay for it. I had stuff that I thought would go for more and I also had stuff get a great price and I wasn't even going to put in the auction until I spoke with their knowledgeable staff. The staff came and photographed and sorted ready for the brochure and on the day those who were successful came and collected their stuff it all disappeared as if by magic. If I had got a junk removal firm to get rid of all I had it would have cost me big time but with MaxSold, even after paying their expected commission I have got a cheque coming to me. The staff of MaxSold were efficient and polite and never made me feel awkward in any sense. Thank you all so much - my house is now free of "junk" and I can go out and treat myself with the proceeds - you can't do better than that.
