A + + + + + + Excellent Experience
-The entire experience with your whole team was superb.-All the questions that I had pre-auction were answered. The auction house even called me to discuss/explain some of my questions.-I had several phone bids and this process was seamlessly executed.-I also had several other absentee bids and they were all executed appropriately.-I also followed the auction on Live Auctioneers where I made additional bids above my absentee bids when desired.-I won several lots and picked them up myself in a U-Haul truck. This experience exceeded all of my expectations. The entire team help me get loaded. They loaded each item onto my truck while I tied them off. Most of my items were heavy and it was a hot day!-I just want y'all to know how impressed I was with the entire experience. Each item was as described. Everything made the trip in great shape. All the items have now been placed into another old garden and they fit in and add fabulously to the hardscape of this garden.-Thank you!!!
