Antique Chair Seat

How to handle antique dealers?
Recently I needed help liquidating the contents of my parent's estate, so I called an auctioneer that my aunt recommended. On his first visit, he was very polite, looked at the things I was trying to sell and said that he gets 30% of the "take." The next time he came, he wasn't so nice. The first thing he announced was that he had forgotten to mention that besides the 30% there was a $200 "carrying charge. Then made me sign a contract. He just about ransacked the house. he upended the boxes I had so carefully packed of small household items. I thought to myself "He will pick the stuff up and put it back in the boxes." Well he didn't. He also damaged some things like when he decided to take the dining room set. The chairs had cushion in the seats. Instead of carefully untying them in the back, he just whipped out his pocket knife and cut the ties and threw the cushion in the corner. I was shocked. What should I have done? Nobody else was willing to take the stuff.
You happened to come across an aberration. Most auctioneers and antique dealers that I know are much more courteous than the one you describe. They rely on repeat business and word of mouth stories are very important to them. You mentioned that this person was the only one that would handle the estate, it seems that you did contact other auctioneers. The estate may not have been very valuable. The other people you contacted may not have thought it was worth their time to bother with it.The usual fee for auctioneers is 20% (tho the fee may be higher in different areas) plus catalog photos, advertising and moving expenses. Read the contract again thoroughly. If you feel that you have been ripped of contact your local Better Business Bureau and the local auctioneer trade association
