Garlic City Auction

If I could give them 10 STARS, I would! My experience with this company began with an interview, which was very professional and informative. My husband had just passed away and they were so kind and considerate. Getting rid of family belongings is never easy, but they made me feel right at ease. They helped me with the things I was putting in storage and set up everything in the house for the auction. They even got 2 cars running which weren’t running before in preparation for the sale. When I came back at the end of the day, almost everything had been sold and they handed me almost $ 8,400! I had expected maybe $ 300-​$ 400, but I was pleasantly surprised! They cleaned up after the auction and settled all the end-​of-​sale items. Richie, you are an angel and I would highly recommend you and your crew to everyone!

Nice company they do a hard job well, selling a family’s personal stuff is never easy and it’s a lot of work. But if you need to move everything out in one day an auction is the best way to go
An auction will get you the highest value for your items as it gives everyone a chance to offer their highest amount that they are willing to pay.
For a great Auction call this company.

6 or 7 years ago, I arranged to participate in one auction by «telephone bid». There was a specific (somewhat pricey) item up for auction that I really wanted. I ended up being runner up to the winning bid :(But now, Garlic City Auction HAS MY PHONE NUMBER and I’ve been getting get Robot Calls ever since and all the time for their auctions! I have called them to remove my phone number and they won’t do it! I have put their phone number on my Auto Reject on my phone, but their message still goes to my voicemail and of course shows I have messages. Any company that would not — will not comply and remove an individual’s phone number from their auction notification list is nothing but smarmy and UNPROFESSIONAL!
I have since reported Garlic City Auction to the FCC for ROBO-​CALLING!

These guys are con artists. He said he could sell all the stuff in my parents’ house in San Mateo, California and probably get $ 60K. There were a TON of antiques and some were family heirlooms that my parents couldn’t take with them.
He said we couldn’t be in the house while the auction was going on, and now I know why! He sold 1950’s perfect condition, drop leaf tables for $ 10. We had a corner cabinet, hand made, beautiful piece from the 1700’s. I believe he took that himself and didn’t even pay us for it.
He assured us he had a following of a lot of people that will come to the auction. Hardly anyone showed up.
He also said that they would haul away EVERYTHING in the house that didn’t sell or that we didn’t want. When we returned, there was still a ton of stuff all over the place and he argued that he couldn’t take it.
At the end of it all we only received $ 2500. My mom was crying. They were horrible. They should be out of business.
DO NOT TRUST THEIR LIES!!!

I have purchased items from Garlic City Auctions on many different occasions. Each time I was very pleased with the items I bought. Everything comes in good condition and transactions go smoothly. The staff has always been courteous. I will continue to buy from Garlic City Auctions.

Don’t know what Wayne and Ralph are talking about. On September 12, 2013, I called Garlic City because I was in a desperate situation, abandoned by husband 1 day after moving into 4 bd leased house in Los Banos, CA. Everything was everywhere, boxes, etc. I needed to get it all out and sold ASAP because I was left with no resources and had to get out because I could not pay for another month of rent. Richie told me they could do it all, no worries. Leading up to the sale, which by the way was within two weeks, I called repeatedly for reassurance and was met with patience. When the sale day came, Richie and crew took care of EVERYTHING! I arrived at the end, was paid and the entire house inside and out was immaculate and I was able to just drive away. I cannot express adequately to Richie, the team and Garlic City Auction how much your professionalism and expertise handling this sale lifted such a burden off my shoulders at a time when I was barely able to stand. I am forever grateful and anyone that wants a reference can call Richie at Garlic City and get my phone number, I will talk to you!

This company advertised an estate sale on craigslist in San Lorenzo. When you arrived they were conducting an auction and asked for your Driver’s license in order to bid. First of all they only advertised the estate sale and everything was negotiable. Upon arrival, no estate sale signs and someone was auctioning merchandise in the back. If they are having an auction fine, but do not advertise an estate sale if you are not having one.
