I attended one of Margie Beegle Sales on Sunday, 5/19/2019. There were items in all the rooms for sale including outside and the garage but more than half had no price tags. I found an unopened DVD, a small vase and four Delft porcelain items that I wanted to purchase. About 1pm they made the announcement it was an additional 30% off and I went to the checkout table.
The person commanding the checkout was arguing with a customer that she had items on the "Sold" table and would not receive an additional discount. There was one "Hold" table next to the checkout table and four "Sold" tables in an L shape next to the Hold table. The gentleman in front of me purchased a pullover shirt with no price for $25 and it was my turn to checkout.
I questioned how much the DVD was and she quoted $10. I asked if that was before the 30% off and she stated they retail for $30 and I'm not going to sell you the other items. I asked why and she stated and now I'm not going to sell you the DVD. I again asked why and she told me to leave so I asked for her business card and she pointed across the room.
The auction company hires an off-duty police officer stationed at the front door and not finding a business card on the far wall I asked him for one. He told me they are around the corner and the only one I saw was on a wood hutch which I started to read and the checkout woman screamed "security- I want him out." The officer got off his chair and approached me. I told him I only wanted a business card and he showed me a wall hanging that had the cards in a fan motif.
In 45 years in the business of sales I have never been treated with less respect and I feel sorry for the "mostly senior" customers that hire this company to dispose of their possessions in such an unprofessional manner. I have attended 100's of on line and live estate sales over the years and this is by far the worst of them all. There is no reason for the lack of preparation and hostile attitude
