J Sugarman Auction Corp

Sugarman auction is not professional company. They have never been on time in all the auctions I have gone. It is a blatant sign of disrespect to the customers that clear their schedule to show up. This time they are 40 minutes late and still have not showed up. I don’t appreciate when a business says it starts at 10am and they don’t show up. That is partly the reason I don’t go to their auctions as much. They are disrespectful and I recommend strongly that you don’t use them to auction your items.

Please stay away from this company if you value your property.
They took my stuff and forgot to advertise it. Then they sold part of it 5 weeks later for a fraction of its value and tried to charge me storage and labor for the rest while they were clearly in breech of contract by not selling it. As soon as the auction is over they won’t answer the phone and make you wait at least 15 days for a paltry check. Dealing with them has been a nightmare and I now have the Better Business Bureau and the Florida Board of Auctioneers involved. Looks like being a long drawn out affair and my hopes of reparation are minimal.
Don’t hand over any property to them.

The hardest working crew out there in South Florida. Adaptive, Innovative. This family company is too hip to skip. Look it up & #KnockitDown on Twitter @SugarmanAuction @BradJSugarman as their marketing team is like… bra. No Other! @BradVizcaya

Here’s the sour then the sweet:
Sugarman has made a lot of enemies. His company is extremely unorganized. You often don’t get the actual item you won. It has happened to me dozens of times.
Yet I still return. Why you may ask? Because no matter how terribly run their company is, no matter how unethical they are, it’s still an awesome way to get a deal.
There are are many people who make a lot of money reselling things purchased at their auctions. Liquidation auctions usually go for pennies on the dollar.
After you buy something make sure you pick it up immediately or it might go missing or be damaged. Try not to bid online because they will take advantage of you, go in person. Be nice to the woman at the front desk. All the girls are great and just doing their job.

The website looks great but I’ve never been in person. Has anyone attended one of these auctions before. What are the prices like?
