Estate sale fraud
I never do reviews unless something is really good or horrendously bad. This estate sale company is a ladder.
I hired them because I was overwhelmed with how much stuff I had and was too overwhelmed to organize and sale it all by myself. All this company did was let people look through my attic and basement at my stuff and they would decide a price as they go. I couldve done that myself! To be fair, they did sort through the big stuff and put price tags on them, which was the best and only thing they did worthwhile.
If you were hoping to get paid for your stuff, forget it. If you are lucky to get paid at all, you will get shortchanged. In order to even get paid after a month and a half of Alan, making excuses, I had to threaten a lawsuit and tell him I was going to report him to estatesales.net, which is the Google of estate sales. If it werent for the very real threat of being unable to list on that website, I would have never been paid I dont think Im still waiting for my itemized sale list that he has promised me a month ago.
After researching, Ive realize hes done this to other people. I know, moving and cleaning out a house can be overwhelming, however, youll come out better if you do the sale yourself than hiring this company.

Got some Great Items Great price
Decorated my house. Saved a lot of money.
I have a lot of fun,at them.
Look online first for items you need ,then plan to go on the weekend ,and make a deal ,try to barter your best price,and hopefully you will come out happy as I do.with inflation estate sales make a lot
Of sense . You pay a fraction of retail.
User's recommendation: Great sales,if people are looking to decorate a new home.

To let people know < I myself find ,this company runs A great Service
I feel that is not right for other customer to , give a poor rating when there is no Merit, every person has their own opinion, but it does not seem right one bad customer can attack a business,to misrepresent as such without much meaning, I have been to 100 of their sales ,when I find the total opposite, when I go to their sales. I just don't see how one bad apple, seems to be attacking this company, They have such high end sales, it's very Enjoyable to spend the day out and find great items, from such high-end homes.
User's recommendation: Go to the Sales and Have fun, they are a Blast

PISSED CONSUMER
Interesting that after scathing reviews there appears to be self-serving reviews. This forum is for pissed consumers.
Why arent there any reviews on Yelp? Interesting. Suspicious. Buyer beware!
Also you may want to cover your license plate lest they take a photo and post it! Yup, thats their standard operating procedure.
How are they still in business?! Hard to keep up with the name changes but it is still the same Motley Crue!
User's recommendation: Buyer Beware!
This is the same woman who told the nice college girl, that all the purses were fake even though they were real, so she can take them . Picking on a college student , nice Pam A who lives in a 1.8 million dollar house in Natick, let’s look up her address

SELLING FAKE BAGS
Just went to their sale in Shirley and all of the designer bags are FAKE!! With prices as if theyre real.
This guy needs to be reported and put out of business.
No wonder he changed his company name!!! BEWARE!
User's recommendation: STAY AWAY!!
To the woman who tried to steal the bags from us by telling everyone they are fake, jokes on you Hermes real real real , just got confirmation from the young lady that bought it, she had it authenticated, amazing to me you can walk in a room and say 20 bags are fake in 5 minutes, guess you missed that class growing. As with any items of jewelry, autographs, and name brands we have 5 day return policy if any item is not real.

Westford, Massachusetts
Sold clothing items for $10 a piece as "in good condition" when it was in fact stained..
After over a 90 minute wait to get into the sale, I found it so packed with items it was impossible to even see what was there. Going into a small room with mostly clothing in it, I was told by an employee that the clothing would be in good condition.
There was literally no room to move, so I could not view the items properly and took the employee at her word. Each item I bought was $10 a piece. When I got home I looked at the clothes I had purchased and 3 out of the 5 were stained. I contacted the company, sending 3 emails over time and they chose not to respond.
Interestingly, prior to the sale, I had contacted them about an item I was interested in purchasing and they got back to me right away. If they had been courteous enough to reply to my very non confrontational emails, perhaps I wouldn't have written this review.
In my opinion, the company has highly inflated prices and really terrible customer service. They will take your money and run.
User's recommendation: Do not waste your time.

Hired Them to do an estate sale they took the money and never paid me
Signed a contract with Alan Davidson, His people ran the estate sale took in over $1000.00 (most likely more than that) and never paid me or responded to my calls or emails. At one point he wrote back the check was in the mail.
Never saw it.
I wish I had done my research before hiring him. I've since seen many bad reviews that I suspect are accurate.
User's recommendation: Stay away from this Dishonest Company !!!!
This nut job was paid, told us he had Rolex watches for sale and pulled them out of sale. His house was filthy and we had to stay in Basement, he would not let us in the house, must have thought there was something wrong with us.
What a jerk, reminds me of Steve Martin, he makes Newton Mass proud. Thank good he lives in NH, he doesn’t belong in Newton.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK
Pissed Consumer is a forum for customers to share their grievances. Not for the business owner to post bogus positive reviews.
Knowing this please be forewarned. This company changes its name to avoid litigation and to dupe unwary investors to support this charade. All it does is give the owner $$$ for new cars and wigs. A disgrace.
He fills his and his employees cars with items from each house, doesnt pay homeowners.
Its unbelievable it hasnt caught up with him-YET. So essentially anyone attending his sales is buying stolen goods.
User's recommendation: BEWARE!!!

Very Rude, hight prices and high delivery cost.
I recently went to Boston to purchase furniture from these guys. Allen was extremely RUDE.
The prices were higher than buying brand new furniture. Also theyre the only one who can deliver everything and they dont allow buyers to pick up what they buy.
The delivery charges are extremely high. Never again.
User's recommendation: Don’t wast your time and money.

Advertised items and then sold them before sale
The recent sale in Wellesley Hills - they sold the advertised furniture to the people buying the house before the advertised estate sale. He said they called at 10 am and bought everything they wanted.
No where do they advertise that its even an option. I was there at opening and the whole team was just not polite, nice and honestly just quite rude. Totally different from the sale I was at an hour earlier. They said do you realize we have four sales right now.
Its not our fault you are over extended.
Be polite, be honest, be a good business - nothing you are selling is worth arguing over. But for your clients sale - be a respectful business
- Not respectable and not professional
Preferred solution: Remove items that are not really for sale. If you take phone purchases advertise this. Ask you team to maybe be pleasant when making a purchase - she was literally making faces as she grabbed the cash. I had to ask if she was ok.
User's recommendation: Stay away - nasty staff and dishonest
Not true ALAN.
Way, way too expensive
This is an estate sale people, not Neman Marcus. I couldn't believe the prices of items at the sale.
I wasted so much time to get in and then for something so simple and not a major expensive brand, i.e. regular dishes, nothing fancy, and the price was absolutely absurd. I graciously declined and the man running it went into a huge explanation as to what the dishes were worth originally. Politely told him that if I had wanted to pay the original price for them, I wouldn't have been at an estate sale and walked away.
To the man who owns this business, please understand that people like me, who are not dealers, go to these estate/yard sales to get things at a decent price because we can't afford to go to Neman Marcus.
So please do not try to explain yourself to us.
Please understand, especially with what is going on in the world right now, we can't afford to overpay for anything. Thank you.
Preferred solution: Just to express my opinion
User's recommendation: Don't bother unless you have the Titanium Amex
Maybe you shouldn’t be commenting about Neiman Marcus if you can’t spell it.
