Auction is good place to sell items but EVERY auction is taking a chance that no one will want item. Or not recognize its value and it goes for just a few dollars, that is the risk the seller takes. The auctioneer does not control how much money the item makes but using a good action house with full audience is better than selling it at a rummage sale. The audiences at Betthausers are professional buyers who resale the items and are pretty sharp. They need to buy it cheaper so they make a profit on eBay or whatever. This is how an auction works. Sellers are paying for a full house and lively bidding. That happens here, but again, the item may be worth less than buyer thinks, or the person who would bid it up because the want it, is not there. Usually at auction, things sell for half their value, but can go higher if a collector really wants it. Some items make almost nothing at auction because no one collects them anymore, Beannie babies, Avon, Barbies, collectors plates and Elvis stuff. Buyer paid a lot, but there is no value on secondary market. Every auction house has a specialty that sellers really like. At Betthausers guns, ammo, Army stuff, farm equipment, high end jewelry, old photographs/albums, glass collectibles, cast iron, and furniture. more

Crooked Auction House -- Auctioneer will bid you up 3/10/2016

Harry the auctioneer is a con artist up bidding on every item. He will go so fast that you won't realize that no one else is bidding against you he's just acting like some else is bidding. Beware of this con artist cause he's been doing it for years. Not only that but when you say Sold that means the item is Sold, well not in his book. He will reopen the bid after he says SOLD, that's not a true auction. Boycott this CON, there's other great auctions out there that won't scam you. more
