Thumbs up! Answered phone and gave great detail prior to buying. Even helped me load after purchase! Very kind folks. Trustworthy with a smooth transaction and no bumps in the road. I plan to use this seller a lot in the future and avoid the scammers. Always check your Google reviews! John McInnis almost has a 4 start rating on Google. And all his customers recommend him! A lady today told me how she used him exclusively but ventured out to another person for a one time event. I told her I use the same guy! Repeat customers are always a Good indicator

A Note to Our Customers in Regards to Pick Up: Bidding at Auction Ninja sales pick up times are very critical, as these sales need to be closed as soon as possible as we need to exit the property once the final pick up date is complete as we are dealing with real estate closings. Our terms do offer alternative pick-ups for a fee to transport back to our Amesbury Gallery. The sales conducted at our warehouse locations are typically the same as these facilities are not staffed full time and items need to be cleared quickly as we move in inventory for the next online sale. We truly appreciate your business and try to make pick up as convenient as possible, but time is of the essence with these sales. John and Staff
