Auctioneers' Performance and Service
In general, the performance and service provided by Pritchard Auctions have been quite varied. On one hand, the staff has been praised for their professionalism and ability to handle difficult situations. For instance, one reviewer noted that the staff are "awesome" and maintain their professionalism even in negative situations. Another reviewer mentioned that the auctioneer is thorough and honestly depicts items for auction. However, on the other hand, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the company's service. For example, one reviewer had to drive an hour to pick up an item they won, only to find that it was not available. Although the lady in the office was apologetic, the reviewer felt that the gentleman on site did not care about the inconvenience caused.
Valuation of Items
The valuation of items has also been a point of contention among reviewers. Some have criticized the company for not providing accurate valuations for their items. For instance, one reviewer mentioned that they were disappointed with the prices their items fetched at the auction. Another reviewer felt that the auction did not accurately reflect the value of their items, stating that they ended up losing money after paying for photography and moving fees. However, others have defended the company, stating that the auctioneer's job is to get the best possible price for the items and that the final value is determined by the bidders.
Overall Experience
Overall, the experience with Pritchard Auctions has been quite mixed. While some reviewers have had positive experiences with the company, others have been disappointed with the service and the prices their items fetched. It seems that the company's performance can vary greatly depending on the specific items being auctioned and the bidders present.
