Report
Working with Kristen Kraupie was extremely frustrating. Kristen would not commit to an auction date until the last minute. Once she did give us a date, we were told to take it or leave it. She was slow to return emails and phone calls and was annoyed when I continued to call after not receiving a call back. I felt like our on-line estate auction was a major inconvenience. I have never worked so hard to give a company my business.

Report
Auction lots aren't accurately described and their visual inspections are poor. Had good vibes about them, but will have to steer clear from now on.
