I got into the process late - did my own photography and descriptions - and still managed to sell 96% of items in less than one week. The interface is a little tricky to learn, but once you get a feel for it, things move quickly. MaxSold provides helpful support throughout the entire process as well. Best of all, the buyers come and pick up items - no need to move anything (except to help). My advice: Give yourself ample time, as presumably the longer your stuff is visible online, the higher the bidding could go; organize items into lots that make sense; use a proper DLSR camera, not your phone; and write accurate descriptions, not flowery overstatements. Anyway, it worked for me, the first-timer. I recommend MaxSold thoroughly.

I placed 6 items to be auctioned. 4 were sold, one was not picked up. And a table, the bidder came over and was just wasting my time that the item was not new!. I think that the MaxSold software should have offered these 2 items to the next bidder in line. I tried to write an "Unhappy" review when prompted for a review, but they appear to only accept the "Happy" type reviews. I also complained to the service rep., I was promised that they will offer the items to the next bidder manually, but they never delivered on their promise.
I think that the concept is good but the software is too simplistic

Unfortunately my experience with maxsold has been significantly different than what others have described. I have found that the individuals running the auction have at times, randomly pulled items from the auction a mere few hours before it closes. Why? Likely because they discover that the item is worth more than what it will be auctioned for or simply because they themselves want to keep the item. It goes without saying that this is a highly unethical way to run a business/estate sale. How can we, as buyers, plan accordingly for an auction if we are subject to the whims of the individuals running the auction? When speaking to the customer service representative, she informed me that this is in fact a "breach of their contract," but failed to go into the details of what exactly that meant. Instead of attempting to reach out to the specific individuals running that auction, I was merely told "sorry."

I would implore anyone reading this review to look elsewhere when evaluating an auction house to do business with. There are lots of very well managed companies out there that wouldn't think of doing such a thing. Do items get accidentally broken and need to be pulled from the auction? Absolutely. But when it is multiple lots of similar items getting pulled at once it raises concerns about the ethics of the people running the auction/estate sale. I, for one, will do business elsewhere.

Maxsold has made estate sale shopping so easy! I can view items from home and decide if I want to bid - no more trudging from place to place to see if there's anything worthwhile or in my budget. I found the item descriptions accurate, and the many pictures of each item verrrrrry helpful. I've been to 2 pick up for auctions I've won, and both times I was so impressed with the staff. Folks were nice, helpful and friendly. I love to refinish furniture, so I'll absolutely be back!

MaxSold is a great company to do business with. I have only had the experience of dealing with them from the buyers side but it has definitely been a positive experience. The process of bidding is simple and streamlined, they set out clear expectations and if at all possible and under reasonable circumstances will work with you to ensure you're experience is a positive one. I highly recommend checking them out and placing your a few bids today.
