KENNETH S HAYS & ASSOC INC

Auctioneer assured us he is an antique appraiser and his company advertises nationally. He claimed that there would be a large population of antique dealers who knew the value of antiques and because of this we would receive a fair price. We had to sell most of our high end furniture. I provided them with descriptions and dates and dollar amount we paid on most of the items. I researched and under estimated that the approximate value of our goods was between $6,000 and $8,000. We received a check for $1,900. Our hand hewn solid cherry dining table- 12 feet long with 6 cherry chairs and high end fabric seats- bought for $6,000 sold for $250 this is just one of the outrageous prices we received on our goods. I could have sold my entire collection for far more at a yard sale. I requested twice, an itemized copy of sale receipts as I wasn't convinced that the dealer didn't buy low and then sell high. I have not heard back regarding the receipts. We were sick at the prices the items sold for. I am completely dissatisfied with this business- their auction results and their lack of communication. I do NOT recommend this company.

Auction Center - Hays sent someone who priced the items up, and then their people came and hauled it all away. The guys that worked for the Auction Center were really fast and they paid attention. They weren't bumping in to furniture and walls. They were careful and professional and on time.
