    We used Bries Estate Sales to sell my dad's home belongings at a reasonable price, and in an orderly controlled customer purchase manner within my dad's home. And a detailed summary of what was sold.We did not have any of that done. My dad's home was ransacked. Nothing was left including very small items used and unused. The sale continued for two more days beyond the signed contract. The details in their summary were not detailed rather generalities such as miscellaneous household, garage, kitchen, tools, and basement items. Most of his belongings were either stolen or unaccounted for that occurred on the last two days of the sale. My dad's internet was disconnected, two boat motors specifically told, a sign placed on it, and e-mailed them to let them to let them know it wasn't for sale was gone and not in the report. They were not allowed into the attic and the crawl space. They even removed an expensive LED light bulb from the ceiling. Almost all of the items up there were removed, stolen, & not accounted for in their report. My dad's huge safe was not on their report, nor the deep freezer. My dad's back storm door arm hinged was removed and holes were cut into his walls. All of the backyard missing items did not appear in their report. It cost us over $650.00 to clean up everything that was thrown onto the floor.We did not expect such destruction, ransacking, uncontrolled/unsupervised customers to enter my dad's home. Their initial statement was that he didn't have enough to justify a sale to be conducted by them. To this was the best sale that they ever had done.

    The owner is extremely rude! She doesn't care if anybody buys anything! She always has a **** and rude reply. She doesn't hire enough help so she gets overwhelmed with long lines and questions and is nasty to anyone who questions anything. The sale I was at had a school across the street with signs to not park on the street from 9-5 on Monday thru Friday. She's yelling there are signs that say no parking and people need to move their cars. Told her it didn't apply to Saturday but she kept on yelling about people getting tickets. Then I was overcharged $9.50. She tries to intimidate you if you question her when she's adding up your purchases and tells you to be quiet so she can count. I had to pay, get out of line and add up my purchases because I knew it was wrong, get back in line and get my money back. Maybe she should talk to and learn from the Balderdash sales company. They do it right. But she doesn't seem to have the personality to be able to learn anything. She already appears to know it all. The one thing that I really like is the online sign up system. All estate sales should do this.
