Auction houses in California that sell by auction — liquidation lots, customer returns, estates, equipment and surplus. The list comes from public business listings: the address, phone and locations on record, and the Google rating where Google has one, credited to Google. Each profile shows its verification status. Read the house's terms and pickup rules before you bid.

Most auction houses list lots online with a closing time; some also run live sales in their own building, and some do both. You register an account first — many ask for a card on file — then bid up to the most you will pay. The highest bid when the lot closes wins, and many online sales extend a lot's closing time when a bid lands in its last minutes.
The winning bid is rarely the whole price. Most houses add a buyer's premium — a percentage on top of the hammer price — and charge sales tax unless you hold a resale certificate they accept. Each house sets its own premium and prints it in its terms: read it before you bid and count it in your cost per item.
Liquidation auctions are usually pickup-only, in a set window after the sale, at the location that listed the lot; what is not collected in time can be forfeited. Some houses ship smaller lots or arrange a carrier at the buyer's cost. Check the pickup address and window before you bid on anything you cannot carry.
Auction lots are generally sold as-is: customer returns and overstock can be untested, incomplete or damaged, and most sales are final. Go to a preview day where one is offered, read the condition notes, and bid for the share of the lot that will actually resell.
Every supplier is scored from 0 to 100 on facts we can check ourselves — not on what the company says about itself. The method is published in full, the same checks run for everyone, and no supplier can pay to change a score.
Every state with at least three auction houses on record has a page of its own — the same checks, the same score, the same reviews.
