"One of the worst experiences of my life"

The Same exact thing that happened to Stacey Dressin happened to me.I had registered my car back in March about a good spot on saturday. I was assured I would have that.I went with N/R because I was told byJamie McCloud that there was no way they would let a car go cheap and ruin their reputation.Well everything I was told was not what happened.Dozens and dozens of cars that signed up after me were put in front me so I ended up 281 which was 6:30 on Saturday. There was no one there except a few. 98% of the people were gone to a dinner reservations. A car like my hammered at 104,500 at Mecum Summer Kissimmee the month before Harrisburg. Mine brought 20,000.A 6 year build went up in smoke.It hurt bad! Anyone know a law firm that does this kind on lidigation? My car was detailed by their in house detailer who agreed the engine compartment and interior were all nice. I had his people do the body. Leroys' company did a great job. The car looked beautiful. Mecums comment about maybe it wasn't as good a car as the black one was a comment made off the cuff and dumb. I want to know why Mecum made this desision to do what they did and not notify me as to what they were doing.

"title problems"

I bought two cars on May 18th,I received both on May 27th,which was good, now comes the bad part,was supposed to send titles out two weeks after auction, I called June 3rd to see when I would get the titles,they said they would be sent in a couple days,Friday June 7th came still no titles.I called again Monday June 10th,they said they would send one the next day and the other car title in a couple daysI finally got one on Thursday.now I am trying to get the other cars title now,its Monday June 17,I called again they said they will check on it and call me back,waited till 5:30 and I called back,she said the title people left for the day and I would here from them tomorrow,With The high fees they charge you would think they would have their act together,First and last time I use Mecum to buy a car(live and learn) I guess,who knows when I will get the other cars title,not honest people

"Please get rid of the brunnette…"

Please get rid of the brunnette Brazilian girl at the front entrance, so rude. Mecum should have polite smiles welcoming the guests in, not yelling at them on which way they should go. We just had walked in, let us breathe! There was no reason at all to yell at us because we walked the wrong way. She needs a chill pill, it’s not HER auction!

"Don't trust Mecum listing agents do your own research. "

I listed a fully nut and bolt restored 1969 Chevy C10 truck and was assured by Danile that Sunday was a great day for this. What a bunch of lies. Sunday was mother's day and the bidders weren't in the room, a fully restored C10 got to $19,000 on Sunday when on Friday a rusty oil leaking C20 Chevy got to $17,000 and Saturday a 1969 C10 in the same condition as mine except I have AC and the other truck didn't got to $29,000. Daniel's assurance did nothing but cost me $500 consignment fee plus transportation of the truck to and from Indy. Thanks for nothing Mecum. I usually buy and this was my first and last time selling. The experience left me so mad I dropped the interest I had in 4 cars from one collection loaded the camper and left.

"Mecum Auctions is absolutely awesome"

Mecum Auctions is absolutely awesome! The experience our family has had at the Indianapolis Spring Classic is totally top notch, the entire experience is out of this world. The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful! They made purchasing my vehicle an extremely smooth process.

"TV Coverage has become unwatchable!"

This is about the TV coverage. Boy, has it gone south in the last few years! They should rename the show: "Mecum Auctions Commercial Extravaganza" (which may or may not be followed by a car auction). There are soooo many commercial breaks (and they get longer and longer it seems). And why do they waste OUR time on these useless "car previews" when John Kraman is going to tell us everything we need to know when it crosses the block? It's just stupid! Do car auctions; cut-out the extraneous BS; and maybe, just maybe, you can cut-down on the commercial interruptions! NAH! I'm gone!

"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.

"Mecum is the Best "

Mecum has best Customer Service in the industry, Debbie Rowan is absolutely amazing with her personal touch of professionalism, and her way with each and every person she encounters. Want to thank Dana Meum for putting together such a fine team for such a fine event each and every year at Indy you’re the best in the business.the Auto memorabilia are some of the finest in the industry, The excitement and experience is a must go to event every year. See you in Indy 2024

"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.
