Great people to deal with. I will say that the people there are willing to go above and beyond. Due to my own fault I did not know that they are not open to the public on Thursday since they they are preparing for the next auction. I called and talked to Victoria and she was able to allow me to pick up the item I had won the week before. They helped load up my tractor piece. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to deal with an amazing staff.

We were the winning bidder on this vehicle and were excited about it. We called to schedule pickup, ordered tires and wheels (as the 22" are not our style) and then were called and told " the owner picked up his vehicle" . Turns out the owner didn't like the price he sold it for and backed out, after the fact. Well I mounted new tires, on new wheels, and can't return them, so what about that? Why am I obligated to buy, but a no-reserve, online auction seller can renege on the sale? I even offered to pay more and negotiate with the seller, pay his "reserve" of $1700. but still not a response. I bid with the understanding that if I was the high bidder, I would own the car; not if I was high bidder, that I could be strong-armed into paying more. And what about tires and wheels that now I don't have a vehicle to put them on? Feel we really got shafted this time around. I expect more from Lightning.

Won 2 items last weekend, the staff was very friendly, the items were as described & as pictured. We even took our piece of jewelry we had won to the jewelers to be looked at & resized, the jeweler we worked with had very good things to say about this company as well. Looking forward to finding some more fun things through this company!!

I buy a lot from various auction houses around the country, which means I have a lot of items shipped to me. Lightning Auctions did not play around and packaged my item better than any other auction house I have dealt with. They also allowed me to save my items from multiple auctions to save on shipping. I would recommend them to anyone.

This is my long over due Thank You to Lightning Auctions. In 2018 my father passed away. His household included all the usual things, but also a lot of equipment for hunting and fishing. He collected many antique items and had many taxidermy trophies. Without Lightning Auctions I don't know what we would have done with all of it. It would have taken years to sell that many pieces. Lightning came, picked it up, and auctioned it all off. It was amazing. Thank you so much. Dealing with my father's estate was quite a process. Lightning helped us greatly! Juli Burn

I love vintage items for my home and lightning Auctions often has a great assortment of treasures. They are very nice, efficient and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. We have purchased from other auctions but lightning auctions has been the best. The app is also a great feature and makes bidding easier. We are very pleased with all of our purchases.

Rude staff. They sold a fur coat held together with hot glue... when I showed them the young man was non caring and rude. A few months later they sent me an invoice for earrings two days after the auction ended. I called offering to pay... but explained I had left town for work for three weeks. If it had been marked “won” or invoiced me as normal the next day - I could have picked up on time. The person said pick up by Wednesday- period they can’t store things. Then when I tried to let the owner know he was absolutely rude and showed anger with my “complaining”. I referred hundreds of people I met in my work who were buying homes in the area... now I will do the exact opposite- BEWARE what used to be an honest local company has turned into a scamming rip off joint!

I have bought and sold at Lighting Auction many times. The staff has always been Very helpful. The front office run by Kyle have always done an outstanding job. The main room run by Hector has gone to great trouble many times helping me unload and write up my lots that I'am selling. Linda has always been very prompt in paying me. This is by far the very Best Auction House in Reno. Thank Tom Johnson
