Bad service

I went to one of these auctions in Lorraine Port Elizabeth over the weekend with a relative .These auctions are held by Moving On .it was raining on sunday and when we got to the house where the sale was it was packed with people .I was shocked to see no handsanitizers was given to people and cause it was raining everybody was pushing to stand in the paying que .there was absolutely no social distancing .To top it off I placed a tag on an item I wanted and when I returned to purchase it my tag was removed and I was told by Edward to let and old customer have it cause she liked it .The rules of the sales is to place a tag on an item you want to purchase. But why was my tag removed by the owners of this Moving on.When is it ok to break the rules that owners implement. A friend of mine was banned and blacklisted when she removed another woman's tag so why is it ok for the owner to remove my tag just to please his old friend .I was appalled by this behaviour. Is this how they treat their new clients or just the coloured ones .

I am so sorry to hear you had a bad experience.Temperatures, hand sanitizer and a register is filled in by everyone before they enter the sale, plus there is always sanitizer on the desk where you pay.  Any time anyone wants hand sanitizer they are welcome to request it.  With regard to social distancing if you were at the sale early enough to hear the talk given before you enter, we always stress and ask people to please be considerate and stick to social distancing – this is something that is the responsibility of each individual and the more people who enforce it and remind others around them the better it will be. I am so glad to know there will be someone other than us constantly requesting people to keep their distance. With regard to you physically putting a tag on an item to book it I do not understand, as the sale does not and has never worked that way.  The rule is if you remove a tag you take the item at the price on the tag you cannot then negotiate.  Items that are negotiated on, where no-one has taken the tag, we generally allow everyone to put in their offers and the highest offer is accepted, if it is in within the clients reserve price.  Once you have put your offer in, you cannot then offer a higher price once it has  been revealed what the winning offer is that got the item.  That would not be fair. As you can see from the wide range of clients we have of every age and colour we definitely do not discriminate according to colour otherwise we would not have them coming back week after week. We see people not colour and generally we all have fun and respect each other and the rules. Again really sorry you had a bad experience – that is definitely not what we want people to have who come to the sales.

Good evening I would like to know if my friend who was banned or blacklisted will be allowed to attend your sales again cause I think is ridiculous what has happened to her and I feel that it shows bad service to consumers being treated so badly .

We reserve the right of admission and if someone is asked not to attend sales there should be a legitimate reason for this. We can't comment further as we are not aware what the reason for being blacklisted was, but perhaps your friend can contact the agents directly to discuss further.
