Services
With five auctioneers and various antiques, jewelry and collectibles specialists as well as a full support staff, we can accommodate any size estate or individual needs. So whether you're buying or selling, there's always an expert to advise and help you. Bodnar's Auction personnel are some of the most knowledgeable in their respective fields with the combined experience of over 200 years in the antiques and collectibles industry.
I'm happy with everything Joe and Janet did, you were both informative and were very helpful with the questions I had being that I was never in that position before. Janet's response time was also positive for me. It was interesting to watch the auction live. I thought you did an amazing job and had a nice banter back and forth.
Most of the time when people think of auctions they picture people buying and selling rare collectable items. While auctions are used for more than selling rare items, antique auctions are a staple in auction houses around the world. Whether its a piece of fine jewelry that has been passed down for generations or a one-of-kind piece of sports memorabilia, antique auctions remain the best way to buy and sell rare collectibles.
Sometimes, we can escape reality, even just for a moment, by focusing our attention on movies, music, video games, sports, or anything else we might consider entertainment. Among these methods of escape, reading is the oldest - and most widespread. One phenomenon which has changed the way that people think about reading includes comic books.
Usually when people hear the term "estate auction" they picture someone selling precious antiques from a wealthy mansion. While that may have been true at one point in time, today's estate auctions are used by homeowners to liquidate the content of any type of home including hoarder houses. Whether it's a single estate auction or a multi-estate auction, home liquidation is an excellent option for homeowners looking to clean house quickly.

Shipping from this place is an absolute nightmare. It took a month and a half from the purchase date to receive my items, and that's after numerous calls and complaints. They use UPS to package the items, which in turn means you get to pay an additional cost on top of the premiums and shipping. 100% would not recommend.

I am new to the auction world and auction buying in general. They are so much fun and do a live stream where they show the merch and talk about it in more detail. I bought 5 items, all jewelry, on the same day. I paid for them in the 24 hours they give you. Made a rookie mistake by driving 1.5 hours (3 hrs round trip) to the auction house to pick items up with out an appointment but they were kind and gracious. Finding and giving me the items within minutes of just showing up at their door.
I spoke with Mr. Bodnar and he is a nice man. He told me that in business (especially this business) he

Wow, i had an amazing experience, I have bought from other Auctioneers over the past and has been nothing but a disaster. I saw some items again on bodnar auctions and took another shot. I have to say i was very impressed with the way things were ran,. I love the live auction (it was fun) the customer service before and after was on key. Very happy with experience.i I was greeted with a friendly face when i picked up. There was no Hassles or surprises. I am very happy with my newfound treasures. And would definitely refer all my friends to bodnars auctions-and will be definitely be checking the

Fantastic! I have bought and sold many items over the years, including on the current online-only platform.
Joe and Maureen and the entire staff are very friendly, professional, honest, and treat both you and your "treasures" with great respect when your are selling.
Highly recommend them whether you are searching for some new treasures or editing down what you have.
Every auction has something for everybody.
Outstanding.

Above and beyond the worst customer support from anyone ever let alone the owners Joseph Bodnar and his wife. Waited over 2 weeks after item was paid before I received a shipping invoice for $55 for legos. Was informed to pay the shipping or I would not get the items or a refund on my items from the owner. 100% a scam

Bad packaging with broken pieces, Bodnar's does not assume its responsibility for not paying. Terrible treatment and poor service, using subterfuge not to pay, asking for a "non-restorable" certification from a certified restorer, when just seeing the piece is enough. And it was not because of mistreatment in shipping, but because of bad packaging from Bodnar's.

You've heard the saying "You've tried the rest now try the best"! Why try the rest? Just go to Bodnar's! Great people who are willing to help, fast-paced action. If they don't have it one auction, come back to the next auction. Odds are they will be auctioning it off. The best auction house I have ever dealt with.

I've been attending Bodnar's Auctions for a number of years. I still have the very first thing I bought ... a large glass paperweight. I've gotten really cool stuff ... much from the 19th Century. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful ... and made friends who I look forward to seeing every month. It's a great way to spend an afternoon!!! If you haven't been to one of these auctions, you should try one and you will surely be hooked.

Been to many auctions, today was first time at Bodnars. Found the employees were great, not only friendly but helpful as well. I will definately have them on my list of Auction Houses and return.

One of the better auctions I go to on a monthly basis. Sometimes you can get a really great deal on box locks and sometimes you get caught up in the frenzy and overpay. That's the risk you take when you go to any auction. Bodnar's has better Consignments than most other options so it's always a fun day to go and check out all the great box Lots up for bid. They have a great staff who work hard and are available to help you with both can signing and bidding.

Very busy fun auction. Sometimes you get really good prices sometimes not. I continue to go there because it really is one of the better places there's so much there and sometimes you find really great finds! I resell so that's important to me. It's not the auction site that makes your experience bad, it's other buyers who will pay anything ,I mean they overpay just to get or beat you out but that's with every auction go to Bodner's they're good!

Attended my first auction with this company this week and must say I am impressed. I work for a dealer and we went to purchase items for the store. The convention center is easily accessible from major highways. The parking is slightly challenging for dealers with box trucks, but that said it is ample.
This is an extremely large auction. There is a fantastic variety, and 2 to 4 auctions running simultaneously. It is challenging if you do not have help to pack and load. They do however have many carts for use with a drivers license hold (for security).
The auctioneers are incredible. Very good

They use outdated methods and have sales mostly filled with junk items. The owner is arrogant and I have yet to ever hear a confirmed customer selling with them who had anything good to say. They over promise and under deliver on their estimates

I had an excellent experience with Bodnar's for my mother's estate items. At first I was confused by the DIY nature of the set-up, but everyone was very helpful and kind. We received check within 2 weeks and written itemization. Would recommend most highly.

CUSTOMER BEWARE!! When my 98 yr old Uncle passed, I was referred to Joe Bodnar's auction company. Joe came to Uncle's house and gave us a guesstimate of the auction bringing in anywhere from $6000-$10,000. I thought the $400 pick up and the commission fee were high, but my thoughts were that we would at least receive something close to the low end of his estimate, and I was okay with that. WRONG!!! I just got the check in the mail --- $2,274!! Talk about misrepresentation. My Uncle had a house full of valuables? Our realtor did a yard sale with Uncle's leftover knick knacks
