To the rep from Hudson and Marshall: To the rep from Hudson and Marshall: The things you named as "standard auction practice" might indeed be common practice in auctions. That doesn't mean the practices make any real sense, or make for a good consumer experience, which is what the reviewers here are rating you on. Ex: Why start an auction at a price below what is acceptable to the seller, i.e. below the reserve? Be honest about it and start it at the reserve price! Doing otherwise makes a customer feel duped. Any talk of this " helping to make a deal" is just nonsense, and smart consumers see it as an attempt to create excitement over an illusion.

Amanda is the BEST When using the Chat feature, Amanda is my go-to person! She is so kind and helpful and answers all of my annoying requests. She is quick and efficient and is the best person to reach out to if you're looking for property information.

I sent 3 emails asking questions I sent 3 emails asking questions, initially, didn’t get answers on anything. This was Sunday, But on Monday, when everyone was in the office all my questions were answered, explained in detail how to proceed. I decided that process was more than I wanted to tackle. Response has been excellent.

Mandy answered several questions I had… Mandy answered several questions I had very promptly; however, I wanted her to extend to the Seller my availability and willingness to negotiate but that was never done. (The trailer had been bid on twice unsuccessfully because the Reserve was not met. The trailer had been destroyed and I imagine the Seller does not know its condition.) Also, I was told it would be auctioned again July 16 but it is not showing up on the site. I don't know if it was sold "behind the scenes" or if Seller went to another auction company. I wish the Chat People had more information than just the standardized responses....

All in all, an interesting and positive experience. This being my first time using an auction site, what do I know? But, it was easy to register, access information, and follow the bidding. I missed the end of the bidding, and was curious, as to final bid. So, I reached out, and received a prompt response, explaining that the seller was yet to review offers, and come to a decision regarding sale. All in all, a positive experience for me.
