FYI, the auction and the sales may be really good but DO NOT ask them to bid on estate belongings. They came out and evaluated an entire house full of items: a grandfather clock, a Bassett bedroom suite, antique sewing machine, antique trunks, antique dressers, all of the stoneware from the kitchen, dehumidifier, antique armoire, and bed frame, garden tools, and miscellaneous knickknacks, computer printers, regular bed frame, and shelving, all of the items in good to excellent condition. When they gave me a price, I agreed to it. There was also another person with me that heard the same price. I was stupid though and didn’t get it in writing.

Read moreI'm a buyer from one of Lori's online auctions. Online auctions as a whole are often a roll of the dice; but my experience with Lori was A+. Her online listings were well-organized and the photos showed me everything I needed to know about the item. I actually called her with a shipping question and she returned my call promptly, answered my question thoroughly and was very pleasant the whole time. I felt bad about interrupting her day when she had a large auction going on but she made me feel like her most important customer ! If you are considering an estate or inventory liquidation sale, I would highly recommend Lori for the job. (. . . and I LOVE my items...
Read moreMy experience with Lori's Auction was really fantastic. The pick up experience was so smooth, and I appreciate all the extra effort she puts into organizing and ensuring the items were safe and secure. She was extremely kind and helpful throughout the process, which was appreciated even more because it was an extended drive for me to get there. I wouldn't hesitate to bid again through Lori's Auction or recommend it to...
