Review №1

Very disappointed in an embarrassing experience at this auction. Went for the second Sunday in a row. Spent little under $100 the first week, with plans on spending more this week. The first week I went was mostly walk around box lots, this week was more standard auction items. I sat in the back because I had my toddler with me and didnt want him to be a distraction. The auctioneer (skinny gentlemen in 70s-80s) brought up a box of models, 1 of 20ish items on my list. He opened it at 25, which he received in front of me, I entered at 35 and immediately lowered my number facedown to my lap. He got 45 from the opening bidder and then called out 55, which he closed it at. The entirety of this auction item took place in probably under 10 seconds which makes sense considering he opened the auction with a couple non landing jokes about the auction ending quick because football is on. He then called on me for my number as the winning bidder. I looked around, and behind me because I was certain there was no further action on my behalf. I said, I didnt make any further bidding action. He responded, O, youre just waving your card around? At this point I showed him my number and decided that this $55 auction was my charity to an auction house that I would never use again. As I got up to leave, our elderly auctioneer began openly insulting in front of a crowd of strangers. You resellers are all the same. Ive made some mistakes, but not marrying my wife. Congratulations sir, you were hurling unwarranted and unjustified insults at a Special Education Teacher (who does do some reselling) in front of his toddler.The silver lining of my experience at Ingraham, was I got to share a quality message with my son and tell him that this is not the way you treat customers or people in general. I couldnt see her face, but as I told my son this in front of the cashier, her eyes had a look of this happens often here. Take your business to one of the other many auction houses around.
