Great experience with Dinkins Auctions. They have a wide selection of vehicles, and the auction format gives you a chance to find solid deals. I really appreciated their flexible payment options and in-house financing, especially for buyers with credit challenges. The staff was helpful and explained the process clearly. Definitely worth checking out if you want affordable options and payment flexibility.

Ellen is one of the most informed and helpful people I ever had pleasure to do business with. She has great customer service and she was very patient with me. I had a lot of questions because I wasn’t sure bc of my credit situation but ellen was able to help me and got me a better car then I was expecting! Thank you so much

I love auctions & have participated with several in the area, from Columbia on down to Sumter. Dinkins BY FAR runs the best auctions all around! They are weekly consignment and estate auctions, so every week is a whole new experience. The staff is kind and always helpful. You can bid online, which is hugely convenient, if you're unable to personally attend. However, if you can attend the weekly Wednesday morning auctions, go! The auctioneer has a big job, but he is great at explaining if something is unusual. If it's historical, or an antique nobody knows these days, he will explain it. He's been in the antique business for years. He's also makes the auctions FUN. They typically have over 1000 lots weekly. They sell everything. Literally, everything, because the items are from consignors. I understand that things are sold 'as is' - typical of all consigment auctions. If I can't attend personally, there is a preview time on late Tuesdays. They take great pictures so you can see what things are and their condition so I feel good about what I'm bidding on if I cannot attend. They are very good about displaying broken areas, etc. When I purchased something that appeared to be new, but wasn't and didn't work correctly, I talked with the owner. He was very polite and wanted to be sure I was satisfied. I understood about things sold as is and he was under no obligation to refund me any money. But he kindly refunded my money, along with an apology, though no apology was necessary. Prices can go all over the place, but he won't bid you up if you left an online bid. He's very honest about that. I was bidding absentee online and sweated about the max bid I left. It was a high max bid that I later regretted. However, since they bid in your absence, they begin all bids at $5. My high online max bid was no sweat. I got my item for $6! A dishonest auctioneer could have started higher, or even as high as I was willing to go ($30). Everyone who works there is so nice. I have had such great experiences with them for almost 2 years. It's fun. I get neat stuff. Everyone is so friendly. . I've made many acquaintances. Simply put, they are a very nice local business who cares about their sellers and their buyers. I'm older so I've told my family that this is the place to handle my estate when I've left this world. I know they will do a good job and help my family get good money for my possessions. Thanks, Rob and Staff, for always delivering a great weekly auction. Now GO!
