Mecum AuctionsReviews of mecum.com

Bunch of liars and cheats. Luckily I saw the scam and stopped the scam. Law suit on the way. Let's see them lose this and have cough up $10m. Classless bunch of hicks.

I am a collector got Sick and had a heart attack and needed to sell off 24 of my 90 vehicles collection. I had never sold anything at Mecum’s prior always bought and sold at Barrett Jackson for twenty years. On Tuesday in Glendale Steve mecum sales person told me don’t worry the money is there in the start of the auction. After Tuesday I wanted to pull the rest of my vehicles. The auctioneer on Tuesday rushed through the vehicles so fast. 20-30 seconds that it on the block. He didn’t try to even work the price. Then off to next one. For example 1968 Camaro RS fully restored matching numbers bought at Barrett Jackson for $80 thousand five years ago sold at mecum for only $33 thousand. CJ7 1982 decked out. Bought Barrett Jackson $78 thousand sold at mecum for $23 thousand. Collectors stay clear of mecum and don’t believe what they tell you. They will mislead you to get the vehicles then tell you you new the risk. Risk, they didn’t have any buyers there. It was almost empty when the auction started on Tuesday And the contract you sign gives them all the rights to dictate to you if you want the rest of your vehicles not auctioned yet removed because the auctioneer was rushing and not working the price. Don’t consign at Mecum’s. John burns 480-560-4390 call me anytime.

They are horrible after years of going there I had enough of being ripped off be ware no protection for buyers bunch rediculous fees there not transparent up front with everything I’m done with these crooks

Absolute scam city. Do not touch them. Ill fill more in shortly.

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.

Mecum encouraged me to sell my car at no reserve,,,put me in line behind a bunch of towed old junk,,,i lost 14 k on what I had in the car and there was no great selling done,about 30 seconds,,for me,,first day,,my car wasnt even on tv,,never again,,who cares what they think,,i dont watch them on tv and tell anyone who asks about my "experience"

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.

Bought 2 motorcycles from the Mecum auction recently. I would have thought they at least made sure these were quality bikes to sell at auction. I was an online bidder. I was wrong both bikes need a lot of work. Stripped spark plug another has no spark at all. I didn’t steal the bikes for what I paid. Very disappointed. I would be better off just buying on EBay where most sellers are held accountable if they sell garbage. Mecum allows trash to be sold. This occurred over a years ago and Mecum is just now responding to call and work things out. Yeah right! Thanks for nothing!
