Bought and sold at Mecum. You pay TOP, TOP dollar to be in a good time slot (as a seller), only to go thru at a time that most suits Mecum-as opposed to seller. Great for buyers though, discount after hrs/dinnertime/ghost town deals ! Big, arrogant , take it or leave it attitude, unfortunately. Lost touch with folks that really make their business work, IMHO.

John- The more money we realize for our sellers, the more money we make. That said, our goal is to bring top dollar for every vehicle that crosses our auction block. We do apologize if expectations were not properly set regarding your run position. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this further, or if you have any other questions/concerns.

They don't tell you in advance That they charge $ 150 for paper work on top of the 10% buyers fee. They also don't mention you will pay sales tax in the state of the auction even for out of state buyers. Overall the whole organization is cocky and rude.

Hello- Our Bidder Registration Agreement does state the documentation fee. This covers the cost of ownership transfer. Our team handles the entire ownership transfer process, resulting in a streamlined vehicle registration process for our buyers. Sales tax regulations are determined by each state, not by Mecum. We would love the opportunity to further discuss any of your concerns. Please contact us if you would like. Mecum Auctions

Sold my swing bike at the Chicago auction. I couldn't be there to watch my bike being sold (I bet it sold really fast after it got to the reserve price I put on it). I had to bowl in my Friday morning league. I didn't want to screw anyone who was going to buy the bike, so I was honest with all my descriptions about it, not like the swing bike sold at Elmer's auction (I pity the person that bought it at Elmer's for $4950 with missing and replaced parts. The person who bought my bike got a bargain, all original with no missing or replaced parts. On the Mecum website it showed my bike's price that I thought it sold for and I was expecting a check that was $200 less (seller's fee) than the hammer price. I received a check that was a lot lower what I thought I would get. They actually put in the buyer's fee in the final shown price. Luckily, I don't have anything else to sell through them. I don't know why Mecum has to charge everybody an admission charge just to come in and watch the auction. I can see them charge people who want to bid but not watch. Once the money starts to come in there is no stopping the greed. CHARGE EVERYBODY!!! And they probably pay their workers next to nothing. I bet they are volunteers and have to pay Mecum to drive the cars in for the auction. They make the volunteers pay at the pro golf tournaments.

Jerry- It sounds like you're upset that your bike didn't bring as much as the Swing Bike at the Elmer's Auction. There are a number of factors that come into play when comparing the true value of similar items. It also sounds like you have some questions/comments regarding our business model. Please contact us if you would like to further discuss any of these items. We're more than happy to have a conversation. Mecum Auctions

Richard- Our consignors have the option to run vehicles with or without a reserve price. That is entirely your decision and we apologize if that was not made crystal clear. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this further. Mecum Auctions

Bought a 1974 restored Bronco from Mecum Auctions in Houston. Hired them to deliver it and they wrecked it unloading it. They took it back to Houston for repairs and I haven’t seen the car in 16 months They prefer not to communicate with me . I don’t even know where my car is. I thought Mecum was reputable. That’s what I get for thinking.

Robert- Mecum facilitated and paid for these repairs over a year ago. It's our understanding that you were in direct communication with the repair shop, and that this was all resolved. If this is not the case, please contact us directly. Mecum Auctions
