Orrill's Auctions

Horrible, they charged me 1700 for moving expenses, went negative on auction items knowing items weren't worth anything. Danielle Meta, the manager came beforehand, so they knew what the items were worth generally. What I didn't know is they start all items at $5 regardless of worth, some of the items were worth up to a thousand if sold privately. They felt slighted I assume since their commission was so high(40%) that I decided to sell some of the art that was worth something to another auction house for 25% commission or less. They removed the reserve all items because of this, but I had no idea they were going to low ball everything and tool a loss supposedly because they felt slighted? Who knows. The only ones that made money were the moving company or so they say. They failed to notify how worthless some of items were. Wasted my time and money. These were items from my dead father who had tremendous debt that this was supposed to help cover. Basically lost my father's possessions for nothing. Wouldn't be surprised if they got kicks backs at this point. They took 40% of everything and ended up in the negative. Do yourself a favor and go with someone else. The fact that the owner Christopher Orrill authorized this shows a very good example of bad oversight or just lack of managing the mangers/employees as they clearly don't care or maybe too big for their own good. Zero stars if I was able to do such a thing.

I bid on an item with a deceptive description. What arrived was a plastic replication of something that clearly appeared to be carved out of wood. The description item #XXXXXX "VINTAGE HAND OR HANGING POINTER" was not vintage at all, it's a plastic replica and I'm shocked and appalled to have been taken advantage of.

I gave this company Antique china and several pieces of fine art to be consigned. They gave a date which they did not meet. Then they did not put a reserve on the art as requested by me. I was also told they needed time to reasearch my items for value. I provided the province on each piece. They did not put a reserve on anything and sold the art for $1.00 a piece they sold the *** set for $50. This is unbelievable as I was assured I was dealing with educated people. Also assured that a reserve would be placed on mybitems. None of this happen. I received $32.00 for the antique set. I will be contacting my attorney also I was assured I was dealing with experts and clearly they lied!!!!
