Simply the Best, I love Mecum and what the company stands for. I often think about how such a large company can put such a personal touch on every transaction. I’m a regular customer and auction attendee. I sold a group of vehicles last year at Kissimmee. Mecum is the best venue to sell a collection and is hands-down the subject matter expert in the industry of collector cars, trucks, motorcycles or anything else related. It made things a little bit easier, and Mecum does everything it can to make you feel comfortable about letting such things live another life in the hands of someone else.

That Mecum works with you to make your auction experiences fun! I have been coming to Mecum Auctions since the first one in Kisissimee, Florida in the 90’s. Have always enjoyed them! I became a Bidder in the early 2000’s and then upgraded to a Gold bidder! Along the way I have met so many good people that work for Mecum, starting in the administration offices to the floor people, to the auctioneers themselves! They all make you feel you are part of the Mecum family! But, I have to give extra accolades to two awesome helpful people! One particular lady is Becky Delzell who works in the office! She is always helpful and just a fun person! And the one employee who always has gone the extra mile to help my wife Donna and I is Debbie Rowan!!! I can’t say enough about her! Helpful, understanding and truly tries to make you comfortable and satisfied with your Mecum experience! She is a great listener and does her utmost to satisfy your requests. I would recommend Mecum auctions over any other auction companies!! James Micielli

I want to warn individuals for selling… I want to warn individuals for selling cars at Mecum. In my case, my father passed and I had seven cars in a collection to sell. Everything with Mecum as far as writing up an editorial about my father, convincing me to run them through as a collection, and photography and transportation all went very well. Where things got bad and then even worse was when it came to the money and title. All my pink slips with the required documents they requested were in Mecum's hands roughly four weeks before the auction. So I assumed everything was fine. The auction comes, each car sells, but 2 1/2 weeks after the auction I started to wonder when I would get paid. I was told by the rep that I would be paid within four weeks. When I inquired with the title department of Mecum, they didn't know who I was or where my cars were in the system. Finally after 10 minutes she comes back and says she found 3 out of the 7. There was an issue with all the titles so they said they could not pay me until they got the pink slips in my name rather than my father's. So this will delay my payments for the cars for several additional weeks. I was the worst is I found out that what Mecum does is when you see the auction price, once they hit the hammer and they're sold, they add their 10% buyers' fee which means you are not getting what shows on the screen. If you have a 10% reserve, they add a back door fee of 10% on top of that for the buyer buying your car so they are essentially getting 20% off the selling price. They never told me about the additional 10% that comes off my price. I had reserves on 4 of my cars but had I known they were going to take 20% I would never have dropped the reserves. You feel like you got ripped off righteously, so buyer and seller beware. Horrible experience and they don't tell you about the hidden fees. In my case, they waived the entry fees, the transportation fees, but now I know why they would do that because at the end, they made about 18% on some of the cars. I can't believe how sick I feel and how ripped off I feel.

Always a smooth experience with Mecum I attend 2 or 3 of their auctions a year. Sometimes I buy and sometimes sell. Very professional and fair company that is why I only deal with them. I have never had a problem. For someone to say they did not know there was a 10% fee to sell with a reserve is either not truthful or totally in a brain fog. Everything they do is thoroughly explained weeks before and even that day prior to the sale or purchase.
