Lightning Auctions

"Bought many things over the years but no more. Done with the terrible outright rude customer service. Buyer Beware!"

"Lightning is a FIVE STAR business. Selling nice art thru them has been a good option. I also look forward to buying in the Sunday Night auctions. It's a lot of fun. The whole crew makes it run smooth."

"I've GREATLY enjoyed purchasing and selling here over the past 9 months. You never know what each week will have! Friendly team! And the commissions are not 50% as other reviews say. There are fees but you have to keep in mind they do the photography and advertising. Selling privately you have to have weird and flakey people at your home and, to me, it's worth the commission they take. Homegoods, tools, jewelry.. they have it all!"

"WORST AUCTION HOUSE EVER. THEY KEEP OVER 50% OF YOUR SELLING. $15 MINIMUM. SO IF YOU SELL SOMETHING FOR $15 you get nothing. Sell something for$17.50 you get $2.50 Plus they get the buyer for another 23% Doing business with them for 23 Years.Gone straight downhill FAST. Sold $775 in merchandise in one auction. Picked up the check today after being told 3 times it would be ready. It was for $366 IF I could give 0 stars that would work for us. You mean all you want are high end sellers? I was told on phone it was Monday the 3rd. Where did I agree to this bogus term? Dosen't matter we're done. Over $130"

"We were the winning bidder on this vehicle and were excited about it. We called to schedule pickup, ordered tires and wheels (as the 22" are not our style) and then were called and told " the owner picked up his vehicle" . Turns out the owner didn't like the price he sold it for and backed out, after the fact. Well I mounted new tires, on new wheels, and can't return them, so what about that? Why am I obligated to buy, but a no-reserve, online auction seller can renege on the sale? I even offered to pay more and negotiate with the seller, pay his "reserve" of $1700. but still not a response. I bid with the understanding that if I was the high bidder, I would own the car; not if I was high bidder, that I could be strong-armed into paying more. And what about tires and wheels that now I don't have a vehicle to put them on? Feel we really got shafted this time around. I expect more from Lightning."
