Report
I participated in my first auction with Grindstaff this April, 2021. It was an estate sale and they had hundreds of lots up for auction. I found it very easy to set up my account and to use the bidding process. They communicated with me via email when one of my bids was eclipsed, and provided links to change my bid if I wanted to. As the auction came to a close, I watched various items move to the "sold" status and was lucky enough to win some of the items I had bid on. Once all was done, they sent me a confirmation email about the items I would be picking up, as well as the invoice showing that

Love Grindstaff Auction!!! Cant ask for a better group of friendly and well trained folks. They are quick to answer questions & transactions are smooth and seamless. I signed up for their emails so I never miss an opportunity to bid on their auctions! Online viewing/bidding is extremely convenient and easy!

I am new to this type of auction so I am really impressed with the amount of help and education they gave me to get me started. I love the relaxed on line bidding process and the ease in getting started. I am really happy with the quality of what is offered and plan to follow them as often as I can.

I would strongly advise for people that are planning on attending there auctions, too go to there previews. There online auctions are very misleading! I was not able to go to the previews due to the holidays. So I relied on the info and picture. This was my mistake. Because I got taken for a lot of broken items that were not described correctly. Also if you know it's a reproduction say so. BE HONEST I attend at least 6-10 auctions a month. It's how I make a living. I was very disappointed in Grindstaff's & if I am in there area again I will never be a patron again. This experience will be shared
