Coolest auction in town. Must visit place, great atmosphere and the greatest team! Thanks guys for always being so helpful and fulfilling my desires of buying stuff I don’t need.
Really good deals on everything from plants and tools to cars to heavy equipment. Everyone who works out on the lot is super friendly and helpful. Tyler in the office is cool and always on top of things. I highly recommend bringing your things here to auction them, or coming here if you’re looking to score some great deals.
Great Auction crew. Rich,Rob,Raymond Beal run a great business. Cliff Davis and Todd S. Are great auctioneers and yard controlers
I had good and bad experiences here.... some good deals, some really horrible, mis-advertised deals (flood damaged salvage vehicle not being listed as such is the primary one i remember). But overall the staff was always friendly and the auction and load out went smooth.
DO not trust this auction house. The catalog photos and item descriptions are often mislabeled and misleading. Ive had multiple experiences, over several auctions, where the items I bid on were different than those featured in the catalog images and description.The owner has explained that they have a legal statement covering their errors. Thats great but its it really an error if it affects 100% the lots youve bid on? NO, its called fraud.I fully recommend avoiding this companys auctions until they improve their inventory organization and catalog accuracy. No one should have to settle for a bait and switch. Ill be taking my money elsewhere.
I paid on the last day and these folks blacklisted me. Called multiple time and was told it was proxibid and not them and I played the back and forth game until it was pointless. Look, if you guys don’t have the kahunas to tell customers the truth then obviously some of the items auctioned could be sold with the same integrity. That’s why I walked away, be very careful with this company.
Extending the whole auction the morning of the auction I will not waste my time with anything here again.
This place is fantastic! Always great help from the workers and the office people are so friendly and informative! Plus the auctions are always fun and exciting! The only bad thing about this place is that there are too many good things to say about it!
Always love it when the boss buys things on the internet.
Love it 😎
I bid online and went into the office to pay. After charging my card, the office lady said there was a delay in the title, but they would refund me. Once I got to the vehicle and started it. There was obviously mechanical issues that werent stated on the description nor did the auctioneer say anything during the live auction. However, other vehicle stated possible mechanical issues.I went in the office and spoke to the same lady who offered the refund and was refunded. She said he already said hed refund so no need to ask. We both laughed. As Im leaving, in my car i get stopped by a man and the office lady saying he wasnt going to refund me. I said I was already refunded and he seemed pretty upset with the lady and me both. The lady tried to make me feel bad by saying now Im in trouble, hes going to blacklist you as she leaned on my side mirror. im sorry I get it but I dont work there I was refunded by someone who should know the rules. I shouldnt feel harrassed or made to rebuy because of employee/employer being upset. As I was driving off because what else could I do. They both appeared very upset and I hear the lady say. I told her youd blacklist her Now Im possibly blacklisted and I did nothing wrong. And have to watch my acct to make sure my money gets put back in and they dont try to be slick. Hopefully Im okay to bid again Ive never had problems before and always enjoyed the experience here. But today I felt like if I didnt just drive off Id be forced to buy, when the dude said he would refund already so I actually dont get the issue. No matter what they charged my card before telling me about the title and the description was not accurate.
I Bought a Car for 4k and it needs a transmission for 7k and they acted like they would take care of me no problem because by law i believe they are required to disclose any major issue. The manager Kevin is Not acting like he is going to take care of it at all. I will Post an Update in next few days pending what happens. BUT I AM NOT HAPPY AND AM NOT GETTING TREATED THE WAY I WAS EXPECTING.
We have mostly sold at CIA and they pay promptly. I would recommend them to anyone selling the types of inventory that they typically auction.
Love this place, been here for two auctions got some great deals. Staff is awesome. Ladies behind the counter were helpful, and the pickup team was very helpful.
Did not appreciate getting a Black Flag to my account on Proxibid when I paid the second business day after the weekend auction. Not very happy with these folks,.

Best industrial auction in Portland Ive found. Well run, fair prices and now on-line with ProxiBid. I like the location and staff managing the auctions. Good job boys & girls.
Great auction place
Interesting deals can be had here. Like any auction yard, buyer beware, all sales final and hard to know what youre getting.
Great selection, fun time.
Nothing is as is where is they will return stuff a week later no big deal but if you dont pay theyll try to sue you talk about a sideways auction
If youre going to buy a car or truck maybe you need to look over the vehicle before bidding on it.Or try this out..DONT BID..That comment is for Arthurs Auto.Denise if youre going to bid online maybe you should just go down and bid..You sure cant keep up online.As for shady people. Maybe youre the shady ones .
Some really good deals to be had if you know what to look for
The auction is organized well and the auctioneers and employees are friendly. They also sell food during the auction which is nice.
Great Auctions. Dont Go, I love good deals. LOL
Auction is well run, but as with any auction price can go very high, sometimes as high as retail. Many items are left out in the elements and can cause damage to the items even before bidding begins. Make sure to take advantage of the preview days.
Good deal
Great place. Easy loading no hassle
Bought a vehicle from the CIA Auction that I am driving today. THANKS
Very well run and quick!
Spams local community websites in violation of site rules. If they cant be trusted to obey the law online then I wont trust them to obey the law in the rest of their business.
I spent to much on my car, but it was fun
Horrible, just horrible dishonest auction. DO NOT BUY HERE
Aussome people in the front office.
