Terrible first time seller experience thought it was a car auction was told my car would go across the block between 2 and 3 pm we watch all morning and afternoon mini bikes that hot mote auction time them my car did while it was being auctioned the guy on the stage was just talking to me about lowering my price which I wasn't interested in doing bit he kept pushing along with the missing or not correct or entire information I was given or not given I will never do that again with Mecum what a terrible and disappointing experience ven with getting Mr Mecum involved he was a paper tiger in the beginning I was impressed with him getting involved but all I was doing was interrupting him and all I keep hearing was this was the biggest show they did so they were on a train track and a train was coming so you let it hit you or do you do something about ive always been in business and I never let my problems become my customers problem I will never recommend or do business with Mecum again lessson learned buyer or seller beware they could help you more then they actually do to top it off I have the opportunity to sell the car for my asking price but have to wait 10 days foe the title

I have purchased 9 cars from Mecum totaling over $400,000. Don't trust a clean carfax from them as 3 cars needed serious repairs. In my case they said I could get repairs fixed and they would support that, so far, they refuse to provide any resolution to any of them and will not return calls. McCollister provided delivery of a Bentley and cracked the bumper, transport fees are ridiculous and they make up their own rules and fees as they go along. In my case, they never provided any invoices for transport until after the fact, over-charging for each one. Look elsewhere when looking for cars!

Be aware it's about a circus experience not about the cars. I purchased 11 cars. 6 had problems to major problems, (thats not Mecum's fault they cannot vet condition). Absolutely everything is a charge and up charge. They corner you into using there transport for cars with tight timelines to remove the car from the lot and charge more than other transports. Food vendors complain about getting overcharged by mecum and they say they have to charge a lot for food. Auctioneers jump pricing on bids and you dont know that the actual bid is tens of thousands less. The auctioneer will misrepresent car values indirectly as if the cars are worth so much more. I dont feel i was treated as a customer ever that there only concern was to get more money from me to enter, sit somewhere , sit closure to the stage, push me to bid more and charge me more for shipping than i pay other companys to ship cars. I feel They could care less about me as a customer Just my money and how to get more of it.

The Same exact thing that happened to Stacey Dressin happened to me.I had registered my car back in March about a good spot on saturday. I was assured I would have that.I went with N/R because I was told byJamie McCloud that there was no way they would let a car go cheap and ruin their reputation.Well everything I was told was not what happened.Dozens and dozens of cars that signed up after me were put in front me so I ended up 281 which was 6:30 on Saturday. There was no one there except a few. 98% of the people were gone to a dinner reservations. A car like my hammered at 104,500 at Mecum Summer Kissimmee the month before Harrisburg. Mine brought 20,000.A 6 year build went up in smoke.It hurt bad! Anyone know a law firm that does this kind on lidigation? My car was detailed by their in house detailer who agreed the engine compartment and interior were all nice. I had his people do the body. Leroys' company did a great job. The car looked beautiful. Mecums comment about maybe it wasn't as good a car as the black one was a comment made off the cuff and dumb. I want to know why Mecum made this desision to do what they did and not notify me as to what they were doing.

I bought two cars on May 18th,I received both on May 27th,which was good, now comes the bad part,was supposed to send titles out two weeks after auction, I called June 3rd to see when I would get the titles,they said they would be sent in a couple days,Friday June 7th came still no titles.I called again Monday June 10th,they said they would send one the next day and the other car title in a couple daysI finally got one on Thursday.now I am trying to get the other cars title now,its Monday June 17,I called again they said they will check on it and call me back,waited till 5:30 and I called back,she said the title people left for the day and I would here from them tomorrow,With The high fees they charge you would think they would have their act together,First and last time I use Mecum to buy a car(live and learn) I guess,who knows when I will get the other cars title,not honest people

Please get rid of the brunnette Brazilian girl at the front entrance, so rude. Mecum should have polite smiles welcoming the guests in, not yelling at them on which way they should go. We just had walked in, let us breathe! There was no reason at all to yell at us because we walked the wrong way. She needs a chill pill, it’s not HER auction!

I listed a fully nut and bolt restored 1969 Chevy C10 truck and was assured by Danile that Sunday was a great day for this. What a bunch of lies. Sunday was mother's day and the bidders weren't in the room, a fully restored C10 got to $19,000 on Sunday when on Friday a rusty oil leaking C20 Chevy got to $17,000 and Saturday a 1969 C10 in the same condition as mine except I have AC and the other truck didn't got to $29,000. Daniel's assurance did nothing but cost me $500 consignment fee plus transportation of the truck to and from Indy. Thanks for nothing Mecum. I usually buy and this was my first and last time selling. The experience left me so mad I dropped the interest I had in 4 cars from one collection loaded the camper and left.

This is about the TV coverage. Boy, has it gone south in the last few years! They should rename the show: "Mecum Auctions Commercial Extravaganza" (which may or may not be followed by a car auction). There are soooo many commercial breaks (and they get longer and longer it seems). And why do they waste OUR time on these useless "car previews" when John Kraman is going to tell us everything we need to know when it crosses the block? It's just stupid! Do car auctions; cut-out the extraneous BS; and maybe, just maybe, you can cut-down on the commercial interruptions! NAH! I'm gone!
