What a organized company. With the weather and the amount of people that had to show up yesterday for pickup was well taken care of. Parking was a little messy but nothing they could do with that. We had to wait a little bit for our items but just a few minutes. Took great care of us and our items. Asked for help loading the items and they were right no it.. Everything was pictured and noted properly. I will be defiantly coming back for more great items..
We recently used Handline’s Auctions to run a moving sale for us as we downsized. Everything was done in a very organized and professional manner. The team did a great job organizing our stuff, photographing it for the online auction, advertising the sale, managing pick up day and leaving our house in good order after the sale. We are very pleased with the financial outcome as well. Thanks to John and the entire Handline’s team.
I would not recommend this auction house. We used them for my mothers estate and we were very disappointed in how it was handled. There were people stealing items, rearranging items and they did nothing about it. There were several people there to set up but once the auction started, most of them sat on their rears instead of policing the auction to protect the sellers interest. they did a poor job in recorded the sale items. this resulted in more theft when people returned after the auction to pick up items. They basically opened the doors and let them remove items on their honor (we all know people are not honest).
John, Mike and their team did an outstanding job! Their professionalism, knowledge and experience was second to none. They turned our very daunting, overwhelming task into relief for us, as they handled every detail from beginning to end honestly and with great expertise. We highly recommend Handlines Auctions.
Couldnt make the pick-up date and was going to have my item shipped but was basically told tough luck. However, he still charged my credit card for the item. Rust Best Revival gives you one month to make arrangements to get your item(s) if you cant make the pick-up date. Handlines doesnt even let you know when and where the pick up date will be until AFTER the auction. He was nasty and send e-mails; I asked him to stop contacting me and he still did. Deleted without reading it; you cant make sense out of nonsense. Bid at your own risk, or, check out Rust Belt Revival. Addendum: I e-mailed several times and still have them in my Sent folder. I only threatened to call my credit card company when I was told I missed the pick up date when I had sent you an e-mail about having it shipped and got the tough luck attitude. If you remember we spoke on the phone numerous times and I asked you not to call or e-mail me anymore because of your attitude. You did work with me ONCE before so I dont know why you were so different when and even stated so; thought perhaps I was talking to someone else? When I mentioned coming to the warehouse you said that the item was left at the estate and you didnt have it, but it was still on my card! You were threatening and thats why I requested you stop contacting me and you still did but I deleted it without reading because there was no reasoning with you then and cant imagine there would be with you now. Your response is to make yourself look honorable but I know the difference and anyone reading this can take a gamble if they want. In the meantime, my credit card has not been credited for the item you claim wasnt even in your possession. IE:John Handline SrTue, Jun 16, 7:02 PMto meYour Email was sent on SUNDAY and the pickup was SATURDAY for the glass. So that does not work for the Lakewood Auction which is the one that was paid for and abandoned.. Can’t go back in time to get the items as it stated it was a 1 day only. They were cleaning out the house out on Sunday so they could get it up on the market.
It was only after my husband died unexpectedly in 2019 that I had any real idea of just how much stuff he had accumulated over the course of his life.A lot of it had no value to me, either practical or sentimental.Someone suggested that I look into auction houses. I did but most of them seemed to have specialities, furniture, art, antiques or whatever. I had a bit of everything, even a lot of unused kitchen appliances since my husband was becoming interested in cooking and loved gadgets. I prefer a simpler approach but I knew other people would like these things.Handlines worked very well for my situation.John has years of experience with all kinds of items. It’s obvious that he did some research on every item to ensure that it was accurately described on his site.He uncovered a few gems among the many old cameras that I brought to him.John exceeded my expectations and for that I thank him.
My auction experience helped me financially and I highly recommend him. My husband and I were scheduled for our storage unit auction in March 2018 when he died unexpectedly. Before, during and after the auction, John was compassionate and very helpful. He organized the entire inventory of my husbands tools. When the auction was held in April 2018, due to Johns skills, I made enough money to take a leave of absence from my job to properly grieve. In the future I am going to use his services again for a house auction.
Handlines Auctions has been a super find for my family. We reached out to them to help liquidate my familys estate in the Northeast Ohio area. They have been very communicative with us throughout the whole process especially since we are out of staters. Everything was done as discussed and we had absolutely no worries through the whole process. I would use their services again in the future for other family estates that will eventually need to be cleared out.
John Handline did an excellent job in preparing and executing our auction. He and his team were able to overcome formable challenges, making the overall auction very successful. His team also exhibited a very high degree of professionalism. Johns attention to detail and organizational skills are excellent. I highly recommend their service. I will definitely use them again.
I would recommend and have already recommended Handlines Auctions to anyone and everyone. We really needed to find new homes for most of moms household items and also try and get as much money as we could for her. My brother and sister-in-law did the research and we chose to work with John and Handlines. A lot of work and care was done in preparation for the auction and in the end we were very pleased and happy with the results.
What a wonderful auction that John runs. I popped into one of his auctions that he had in Westlake and purchased a wonderful bedroom set for my teenage daughter. His staff was very helpful and accommodating and I would recommend Handlines Auctions to anyone who is looking to buy items or liquidate items. Just a great family run business!!
They dont take good photos to show damage on items. Buyer beware. I was referring to the horshoes that in the ad clearly states diamond as the brand but inside the box is not. Also there were no photos of the crack in the glass on the clock in which I didnt see since I had to argue with your staff regarding a taped on note stating makes noise that also wasnt in the photos. Buyer Beware

2022-05-16Handline’s Auctions has been instrumental in helping us with our mother’s estate. We couldn’t have moved and sold her household goods without them. John and his team have been nothing but professional. Their quick, as well as thorough communication of every detail during the process is a level of customer service that is extremely rare today. Additionally, they’ve meticulously provided “sold item” invoices and checks promptly after the auctions. If you’re looking for an auction company, Handline’s Auctions is your team.

2021-12-17John and staff work hard to ensure they handle your consignments with the utmost care and professionalism in the business. He keeps in touch with you to let you know when your items will be auctioned and is quick to pay. Fair contract for your items which beats out many competitors. Thanks for all you do.

2021-11-30This company is beyond fantastic. They work very hard and long hours until the auction is complete. They took the time to ask questions and researched our items. They exceeded our expectation, got more money than I even anticipated and quicker than they stated. We highly recommend Handline’s Auctions for your all your needs.

2021-08-12My family had to clean out my moms house after she passed. Two of us live out of state. I was able to get a small truck load of stuff over to Handline’s auctions.The paperwork was simple, and they took everything I brought over. They even let me bring additional items as we emptied the house. They were kind, and very professional. I have used other estate companies for my friends, and it was always a nightmare. Dealing with a family death, and then a estate auction can be horrible. Handline went out of their way to make it easier for us.The items would have been donated, if I hadn’t taken them to the auction house. Handline did all of the work, and I got the checks. They also clear out houses for people. I made more than I expected. As I watched the online part of the auctions, I even ended up finding items for my Florida family. Handline’s ships. My whole family watches the auctions now.

2020-07-09Best auction house in Northeast Ohio! John and his family helped my family with an auction and was transparent and honest the whole way. We talked to a few other auction houses who seemed like they just wanted us to sign on the line without any discussion whereas John was very patient with us, answered all our questions, and provided us with multiple options. In the end, John held one heck of an auction and even cleaned our property before leaving. Very pleased and recommend Handline’s Auctions to anyone looking to find an auction house they can trust.

2021-02-12Where do I begin? I thought I would be able to clean out my parents estate by myself, after a year I realized it would take another 15 years to complete at the rate I was going. I researched numerous auction companies and finally hired Handlines. John and his team were very understanding and professional. The estate had a considerable amount of items acquired over 60 years that filled a house, garage, barn and shed. The Handlines team worked day and night to organize, photograph and research descriptions on every item. John felt that an online auction would be the best bet for our situation and he was right. The entire staff are very personable, kind and above all trustworthy! They took an impossible job off of my shoulders and they kept me informed and updated throughout the process. They made the right decisions and also made quite a bit of money for the estate, much more than I wouldve imagined. If youre looking for a knowledgeable professional, trustworthy and down to earth auction company, call Handlines!
