- DNDave Nelson2 days ago5.0Really appreciate Smith Auctions dedicated service to both sellers and buyers
- JBJOHN BLASKOWSKI6 days ago5.0Smith Auctions sight is easy to maneuver which makes it easy to bid and see if I am holding the top bid yet or not. The searcg box at the top makes it a very quick go of it to see if what I am interested in finding is on the particular auction. A great job overall!
- RHRod HollandDec 28, 20255.0I live about 100 miles from Smith's auctions and have never personally bought from them. But I always check out their auctions and have been tempted to bid on multiple things over the years. I will continue to look through their auctions for protentional items that I need but when I think about a 2 hour drive both ways my time and the gas needed to pick up an item, I don't bid on things that may sell for $300 or more or that I have not seen on local MN auctions. And when you've lived on a farm for 70+ years, it's time to think about having my own auction and not buying more. But if Smith's Auction was close to Buffalo MN, Smith's Auctions would be my first choice in choosing an auctioneer.
- AGAl GoerlitzDec 23, 20255.0Their website is very easy to use when watching and bidding on items. A single click removes items from your watch list which is much easier than most auction sites. The people that you deal with when you pay ypur bill and pick up your items are very friendly and professional.
- GJGary JohnstonDec 14, 20255.0Came to pick up what I brought and had no problem paying and they helped getting things to car, very good place to buy from
