So I bought a truck had some unforeseen issues. I then had an employee reach out to me and without question they made it right within an hr. I’m talking 2000$ that’s awesome. They helped me get it shipped with that money as it wasn’t able to be driven due to air lines. Ppl make mistakes, richi bros make it right.

Great experience!
First time to Richie Bros auction Orlando. Delightfully overwhelming amount of equipment on grounds. Top notch operation from up-kept grounds, attentive and kind staff, simple online transactions. I was able to inspect every lot that was on my list and came away with exactly what I came for and for a great price, praise God! Can’t wait to go back again, it’s that good!

WHAT A TERRIBLE PLACE!!!
WHAT A TERRIBLE PLACE!!!
I’m shocked how many dumb people on our planet!!!
How stupid must be those who buying from this scammer place.
This auction not only cheating people on the item description but they also cheating foreign buyers on VAT refund.
RIDICULOUS THIS IS ALL I CAN SAY.
Shame that no institution who would be interested in taking down such scam places
I won my bid just by luck
I won my bed just by luck, cause I’m not good on the computer and I kept having trouble getting back to where I needed to be and I’m still not good on the computer and I’m trying to send them a message and I still don’t know how but the auction was good
Bought an auction vehicle
Bought an auction vehicle. No license plates. I didn't receive the title until a month after I bought it. It took 6 emails and a half-dozen phone calls to get it. Tax office wouldn't transfer the title without a Power of Attorney letter and a Bill of Sale. I didn't receive either. After another 2 months and twice the number of phone calls and emails, I was told, "We told you this would take a while." I asked for their legal department and corporate contact information, but they wouldn't oblige. My emails were ignored. I finally contacted the corporate office of the seller of the vehicle. I got the paperwork I needed, two weeks later.
3 months had passed. I had to pay for a temporary plate which was $30. I had to pay late fees and interest of $130 for late transfer, even when I had proof that it was not my fault.
Horrible customer service. Horrible experience.

I bought a piece of equipment on salvagesale.com. When I paid for it and received an invoice with pickup location and contact. I phoned contact and made pickup arrangements. When I arrived and phoned the contact we both were surprised that the pick up location was in a differant state over a thousand miles away. I then phoned Ritchie brothers who are the auction company that runs salvagesale auction sight. I was informed that I could drive the extra miles or hire a company and I would be reimbursed. I elected to hire it done and now Ritchie brothers refuses to do anything to compensate me.
