Caring Transistions took care of a family member's recent Estate Sale by inventorying, marking and then selling all of the person's household goods and personal possessions. The management told them iwould yeild more money if they just did a sale themselves, but never was the total potential for income discussed from previous estate sales the company handled. In the final accounting, sales of almost $4000 yielded a payment of only $245 to the family member. This is a return rate of only 6.2%. The remainder of the money went to labor of %30 per hour to multiple company employees and a consignment fee of 25% of the total sales.
If this is typical of estate sales, the extremely low return should have been specifically spelled out to the contractee. It is an extremely predatory practice to perform on the elderly who many times are very emotional about what is being done.
This company sold me a completely falsely advertised lot of gold and diamonds at their ctonlineauctions.com site. When I received the lot it was totally fake, When i called to complain about how criminal it was and demanded my money back, they simply shut off my account and refused to communicate with me about it. Also on another lot i was bidding on about the same time, some unusually suspicious bidding activity occured. The bids kept raising on the lot, but my bid was never eclipsed, so the price was continually driven up close to my max bid , by someone that never planned on buying the lot just to increase the price. This is AUCTION FRAUD. They are manipulating pricing to increase revenue. When i called corporate to complain, they just ignored me and told me too bad. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RIPOFF COMPANY.
