The service was great and the staff were very friendly. Josh helped me immensely with loading my pick up as well as Marlene.

The items I received were exactly as described and viewed in their photos.

I recommend going in and viewing items prior to bidding so you are clear with what you’re getting.

I like the people there especially Josh he’s always more than helpful loading. I’ve spent 10s of thousands of dollars over the last little bit and was happy to see they reduced the buyers premium by 3 percent but was more upset I found out there dinging the 3 percent back on credit card users. Usually I can’t come to pick my stuff up until the following weekend so I have to pay by credit card. An e transfer option would be helpful but at the end of the day I frown on businesses that charge to use credit. Millions of businesses accept credit cards and don’t charge it back on there customers. I was definitely intrigued to do more buying from century when the premiums were reduced but finding out that I’ll get charged to pay by credit I’ll probably hold back on some future purchases!

I bought a workshop cabinet, specifically a TMG locker and cabinet centre with wood work bench, which was listed as new in the auction. I picked up my item, and all seemed good, until I got home and unloaded the boxes. All boxes were wet inside, as they were left out in the rain. The box with the wood workstation bench had a plastic bag covering the wood, however, the bag was full of water, and consequently, the wooden workshop was damaged, and was moulding. I reached out to the auction house, 5 different times, and gave pictures and a description of the damages. Everytime, I was told that they would get back to me with their solution, and every time I never received any communication back. I would inspect any item you buy from there before paying for it, even if they give you a hassle about opening your items in their lot. I won’t buy any items from them again, that have the potential to be damaged.

Recently just used this house for a personal purchase, have been in and around the place many times befor with an old employer and it was a good experience. Last minute bid battle online, and then was in and out of their lot within 15 mins of parking on day of pick up. Schedule a time for pick up and it should go pretty quick!

Very helpful staff. I had to change shipping instructions several times and they were very accommodating. Can't wait to do business with them again! Highly recommended.

Don't drop anything off here that you dont want to go missing or get paid for.
I dropped a few items for auction last November (2020). Never received payment for them. I was told by the manager they were searching everywhere and couldn't find the items. After 10 months and numerous phone calls to the manager, I was offered a couple $5 dollar Tim Horton gift certificates !!!! Real classy.

The auction is well run and reasonably well staffed. Once it is over, expect a 2-4 hour wait in days after to pickup whatever you bought. Also get your stuff out asap before it gets stolen. They have very poor security on site. We showed up one day and there was 2 or 3 staff in the yard helping people and 20+ trucks and vehicles outside the yard waiting hours for service.

Have used the auction on line site a dozen times over the past 3 years selling & buying over 1000 items, I find their policies and procedures the best in the business. The online customers are higher in numbers than I expected. Brad is very easy to deal with and always pulls through with a great sale.
