Never had one, but I need one lol... got a bunch of stuff that I don’t want.... grandma passed, nobody wants her stuff... me included.. but they put all her stuff in my barn and told me to deal with it.. piles of rocker chairs, Cain chairs, tons of Christmas stuff, oil lamps plus a lot of old stuff antiques... iv got a good idea what’s stuff worth but I don’t have the time to deal with it... I called a auction guy and he came over and looked... told me he can sell everything.. two day sale and they haul the the stuff to there auction house, they take care of advertising. They do it all for 30 percent.. it’s that a good deal? What should I look out for when dealing with auction people? He did say that all the stuff I had the newer generation does not want... that would be me lol.. but I new that.

In my opinion, you should NOT have burnt or dumpstered anything. You may think you know what stuff is worth but you never know what folks want to buy and in some cases pay good money for. Just a thought in case there is a "next time".
As far as the auction fee, 30% is fairly standard. However, in many cases, that is just the base fee. 30 % of the total sale. There may also be charges for advertising, building rental (if they don't have their own facility)., charges for packing and hauling the items.
He said 30 percent for everything, me no touch... I’m going to call him tomorrow and see if I can’t get something in writing

I have nothing clever to put here.

Had the auction on Saturday, over a hundred people there... people as far as Ohio came.. the auctioneer put my stuff with some one else’s stuff... to make it bigger.. some things went cheap some things went high.. in the end it’s all gone and I got room in my barn... there was 3 packed 22 foot trailer full of stuff I got rid of.. I will say people are nuts at auctions..... lol
