Auction House

"FYI - 5 Star Auctioneers has bought Brown Auction House and moved to Bushnell. Billy Malone, the auctioneer, was awesome for my on-site auction after losing my fiance' unexpectedly. They were professional, had a wide knowledge of the business, and thoroughly went through everything, sorting for the best prices, power washing and waxing to get the best prices! They respected my wishes and requests. Has a crew that respects him and the clients. Took them at least 2 weeks all day long with 2 people and sometimes 5 or 6 sorting and setting up. Huge thank you to Charlie and his wife Barbara who stayed here the whole time in their camper for set up and security! Earl, the young at heart man was a great mechanic who worked tirelessly to try and get things running for a better price, to Big Bill, strongman, plows through getting the job done and funny as heck, Big Earl, just the same as Big Bill! Billy's wife Sarah; man I dont know how she keeps up with him at the auction writing all items and final prices down! Thank you Lisa, who brought the food at the auction so people wouldn't leave and may I say she makes the best brownies ever! This was staged and set up professionally for success. Luckily thanks to my sister and her husband for letting us use the lots across the street for parking, with at least 100+ people here, and Billy even delivered Porta Potties across the street! I've forgotten the name of the undercover Police Officer that stood at the gate all day checking to make sure no one left without paying.Everyone worked tirelessly without complaining, a true quality TEAM! "Together Everyone Achieves More!" i saw comments people complaining that staff was bidding up items at other auctions...I say so what, they have the right to buy just like you...if you wanted something so badly then bid them up! I cannot thank them all enough as they feel like family after being here 24/7 for 2+ weeks to get a VERY successful auction!"

"Instead of first come first served the seating is all reserved, place is hot as a oven because they put half overhead fans on because older guests are cold,really? Wear a sweater then we cant take our clothes off! How about thinking of the rest of your patrons? Put the fans on! Wouldn't recommend summer almost here."

"I will NEVER return to this auction. Jack (owner) bid me up TWICE in one evening. Unscrupulous behavior. Isn't it enough that you're getting a commission plus the 10% buyers fee? Greedy owner on mediocre items. Some good competition would put this place right out of business."

"Fast moving, the time flies by. The folks are all friendly and don't know a stranger. Prices were reasonable on most items but like any other auction demand=price"

"Let's call it a simple, country auction house . . . because that's what they call it. You never know what you're gonna find there, from junk to antiques. It spans the whole gamut. I call the patrons "The $3 Crowd" cos everyone wants everything for cheap, and $3 is the lowest you can bid. But if you're patient, there's no telling what you might find, and for pretty cheap, too! Box lots, tray lots, and just about anything else you can think of."
