I had a wonderful experience with the staff at Great Expectations, and would Highly recommend them. Great Expectations is a very fair & honest auction house. They were very upfront & honest with me about what to expect when consigning items, and they also informed about the market and what types of items were doing well and what types were not, which I had no idea about. They recommended that I attend one of their auctions before I consigned my items, that way I had a good understanding of what items were currently bringing in today’s market. I attended one of Their Saturday auctions and I was very surprised at how professional and friendly this auction house was. It was an eye opener for me to see items that I thought were not valuable at all, go for really decent money, and some other things I thought were valuable go for less. It was neat to see how it all worked, and really showed me, how little I knew. They really try hard to get the most for each item that they sell. I decided to consign my father’s estate to Great Expectations Auction after attending that auction, and seeing how well it was run. The movers from the auction house that came to pick up my items were very attentive and nice and did a wonderful job at carefully packing & loading my father’s items. Shortly after consigning my dad’s items to the auction, I received my check in the mail with an itemized list of what everything sold for. I was very happy at the prices that I received for my father’s items. I am so glad I used their services because I would have sold many items of value for far less, and probably would have been stuck with items I thought were valuable that no one wants anymore, if I had tried to do it all myself. Plus, I ended up buying a like new living room set for my own house.
