Would have liked a little direction ( in writing) on the bidding page for what to expect. I had asked others or would not have known. Once I got started, I enjoyed it and it went well. For day of pickup, to help YOU." make the schedule an appointment time" in big bold letters. After seeing the large product code emblem and time frame of pick up I did not see the SCHEDULE portion . My apologies. I would not want to mess up your system. Glad it worked out. I will know in future but this will help new buyers. Very nice people at review and at the pickup. Good to see. Thank you.

Process was very smooth start to finish, especially vs hauling everything to an auction house. Some items went surprisingly high, others surprisingly low. But that's auctions. Depends on whose on the site and when. Employees were very nice to deal with--very accommodating and helpful.

Hurleys always provides a positive experience. Bidding site functions well and staff at auction sites and in your office is always very helpful. My only request would be better photo representation of items as well as dimensions of those things not obvious on size. I know you offer review days but I typically drive 30-40 miles one way so an additional trip isnt practical. As it is I dont bid if unsure from photo. Extra photo or two could increase bidding and your profit!

I want to say how very, very helpful the Hurley folks were. I won a doll house and went to pick it up. When I checked in, the lady asked if I had a truck. I said, "No. Why?" She replied it was a HUGE doll house. (I had not paid attention to the dimensions. I was just thinking "doll house" as in able to be put in my back seat easily.) Then I saw it. She was right; it was huge. However the Hurley folks helped me fit the dollhouse in the back of my van and tie the rear doors shut. I know auction personnel are not supposed to help customers, but these folks need to be recognized. They went out of their

I am totally addicted to their auctions. I have gotten a few duds but mostly it has been fantastic stuff, all of the people at pickup are wonderful and kind. If i were a little closer to the places, I would definitely recommend doing the previews to make sure you are bidding on something that is actually worth your time & money.
