We have used McTears quite a few times…

We have used McTears quite a few times over the years and have always found it a good experience. They give advice about the items you want to sell and its up to you whether you go ahead and sell it or not. What you have to keep in mind, it all depends on the day who attends auction and wants to buy your item. You have to remember what ever you get for the item McTears will get their cut too, so sometimes you won't make much on an item. However we have found that it is a straightforward way of getting rid of things you no longer want and know someone else will get pleasure from...and if you are lucky, a wee profit for yourself too.

Customer intimacy

Your systems works good; automation is good but.... What is very much lacking is the personal interaction and the oppertunity to ask questions to people who know they are talking about. Your service department; probably young people, lack of knowledge and certainly lack of competence and mandate; not good. Customer intimacy is what you should build in your company profile. I clearly prefer to buy form a customer intimate auctioneer than a large, quite unpersonal and not connected to the customer company like yours.

Buy and sell with confidence

I've being buying and selling with McTear's for several years and have never had any problems with them. The staff are friendly and professional. I would recommend anyone selling with them. I won't recommend you buy but that is so I get things cheaper! They are really great. Deal with them with confidence.

every thing was very good with the process ,we live in a strange world now where every time we purchase any thing we are asked to rate how the company did ! the star rating is like being at school ,if the company is doing their job properly then why do they need to be reassured all the time ?this is not a negative slight towards this company in particular ,just in general we seem to be living in a world that constantly needs to be praised and reassured thank you !

Great online auction process

Bought a lovely item through online auction, paid online and arranged appointment to collect from the warehouse. Whole process went without a hitch, covid precautions were spot-on, and very happy with the item itself.
