I have been going to auctions for over 40 years all around the country and have been a regular at Pete's for the last 15+ years. Pete's is the best I've ever been to. His New Years auctions are simply incredible. I've had Pete sell numerous items as well and he always gets good prices. His staff is professional, helpful, and very friendly and all of his auctions are well organized and efficiently run. We are moving out of state but I will have no problem driving 8-hours to come back for Pete's auctions. Simply the best in the business!

I’ve been a loyal customer of Pete’s Auction Service for nearly 5 years now. Pete’s Auction Service is by far the best auction for high end items on the eastern seaboard! Pete personally managed this business with his family and they welcome all. You always feel like family when you’re there. Additionally, Pete is hard but very fair. He’s honorable and will go the distance to help you with his team of movers and on occasion will remind you if you forgot to pick up an item you purchased. Pete has his auctions mostly on Wednesdays and on occasion Saturdays where he auctions off car, trucks and vintage collectible cars or horse wagons.Regarding the post below mine, I strongly disagree and spoke with Pete about this. That post doesn’t accurately describe how Pete managed his business and strongly recommend you don’t take it into consideration given most of the posts here are largely laudable.I can’t say enough about Pete’s Auction Service but I will say he’s never ever been involved in any controversial situations. If someone has commented on Yelp or Google reviews that was negative, it has to be someone who either lost an item or has a personal vendetta. I strongly recommend visiting Pete’s Auction Service and see for yourself that this is by far the best auction company on the east coast and possibly the USA entirely!

I have updated previous reviews, this is a new one. Each person/ customer/ client has their own experiences, good or bad. An auction is exactly what it is, an auction. No set price, no bartering, usually no reserves, it sells for whatever the buyer is willing to pay. There you have it in one, what the buyer is willing to pay. Not every auction is the same. Sometimes an item will go for a high amount and another auction it cannot even be sold for a $1 bill. All depends on the day. I will add though, and I have been guilty of it too, all material possessions are not as valuable as you yourself or family think they are. Petes Auction provides a service. All guidelines and legalities are met. No nonsense business. Great place for bargains and I will emphasise, at the price the buyer wants and is willing to pay.We love the place and the people, even our competitors, ha ha ha

I've purchased many items from this auction and have been satisfied with all my purchases. Pete is always clear and precise on the details of the auction before he starts. As with any auction things sell for the amount anyone wants to pay at the auction. I've attended numerous auctions and Pete prides himself in getting top dollar for the items he sells. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful with employees to even help you load your merchandise. I highly recommend Pete's Auction!

Mike and Mandy are wonderful to work with! They are very helpful and provide great customer service! I was able to pick up some great items from one of their recent auctions and truly appreciate all their help in bidding, gathering, and winning the items I was interested in! Looking forward to future auctions!

Pete's Auction company was very unpleasant. Communication gets no stars. My first experience was asking about an auction and the woman was extremely gruff and rude telling me to go to the website over and over without giving any other information. Finally found the auction.. After bidding for days, Then I received a communication telling me to bid again. That was the last communication from either Pete's auction or their bidding company. NO ONE TOLD ME I WAS THE WINNER!! 5 days later I got a call asking when was I coming to pick up the piano that they said my credit card had paid for! Woman was very rude again when I explained I had no communication, they disbelieved me! She just kept saying the exact same words over and over again to my questions. Never answered my question.The bidding was also unclear. I couldn't tell if there was another bid, also couldn't even tell when the bidding ended because there were two close times. The terms and conditions basically give buyers zero rights even if they don't contact you ! I gave them one star because they did give me what I bought and it works. VERY BAD COMMUNICATION! another friend who was a seller had no communication that anything was sold! Don't use this company!

Should have gone another route. Even though it's been awhile, still feels like we got ripped off selling our household and shop items.

Commissioned to sell antiques from family member who passed away. Not told when the auction would be. Received itemized list of what sold and only half of what they took out of house was on the list. I definitely do not recommend using this auction house.

Our family was very disappointed in how the estate of our mom and dad's was handled. They did not follow through on the promises they made and sold family belongings piecemeal, we were extremely disappointed and I would not recommend them to anyone. The company promised us that everything would be included in the biggest sale of the year and 5 months later sold separately like a yard sale. They made a difficult time even more difficult . They did not even come close to the value of our belongings.

Pete's came in to collect items from the house that we were under contract on. They left holes in the walls, scratched the floors, and tore the wallpaper in several rooms. They took pieces of the house, such as weather vanes and masonry stars, despite me getting in touch and explaining that the pieces were covered by our contract. They didn't care. I even emailed and called them, offering to buy them back. Never got a response. I can't even tell you how rude these guys are outside of their auction house.

The first time my husband and I have been there and was impressed with the ladies behind the counter. We drove from Woodbridge which was a very enjoyable trip for me. Get me in the country and I feel like I can breathe, but when I walked in the building it was so clean and organized.that I was amazed. I even used the ladies room and It was so clean.

I have bid and won a couple of large model airplane kits from an estate auction that needed to be shipped. After speaking to a young lady about these I have not heard for about 10 days. I called them and the man I spoke to was very rude after telling me that the items were at a shipper. I asked why I wasn't called and told this his answer was that "it is out of our hands" the rest is up to me. Total lack of after the fact communication.

Auction was ok but the gun checkout aspect is trash. Will not accept a ffl? Disrespectful female clerks. Know it all atf form man. Some of the employees belong in a home and dont know whats happening.

Lots of interesting items, great quality however don't expect to pick up a fabulous piece for a song. Furniture was high quality but pricey. Lots of knick knacks as well

A really well run auction house. I've been twice now and it's very consistent. There are food options and the auctioneer is quick and humorous. Premiums are very reasonable too.

They practically gave my mom’s furniture away. They got very small prices for her glassware. Very disappointed. I would not recommend this business to anyone.
