Very nasty bunch of people. They treat you like you are a thief, asking questions is like you want to do a surgery on them, most items are much cheaper and better in Lowe’s or Home Depo. Waist of time and Money.

They have a lot of good stuff you never know what u going to see when you go

I was able to buy beautiful 12x24 porcelain tile for my kitchen renovation at auction for a great deal. Employees were very helpful as this was my first time buying something at this auction. selection seemed endless and i cant wait to come back. for any other first timers - this is an all day affair as i waited several hours for the auctioneers to get to the tile i wanted. bring snacks and a book. dress warm in the winter. bring cash as the auction fees are cheaper. be ready to wait patiently for anything and everything. research what you are bidding to make sure you are not paying too much compared to actual retail. Be ready to pick up your winnings day-of or the day after.

Improving improving lets work on a gold star

I really like this place. They have items that you wont find at your normal home supply store. Just keep in mind that while the prices are cheaper, they charge about a 10% fee. So if your bill is 5k you will add about 500 plus tax on it. However i keep going back because the prices are still great.

They sell French doors, interior and exterior, I think. tile, mainly for walls, light fixtures, bathroom cabinets for the sink and the sink itself. the price for everything is what they paid for it, plus 10% if you pay cash/debt card or 13% if you pay with a credit card. then add 6% tax. not sure if that is before the 10/13%s or after they are added. fair prices.

Always great deals if you know what your looking for!!!

Ive been in the market for a front entry door and heard about this place months ago. They didnt have the right size door in stock so I kept coming back every 3 weeks to check the inventory. Aaron one of the salesman took the time to assist & guide me in my search week over week. He and Jim kept me abreast of the inventory based on my needs and after 5 months I finally got my door. It was the right size and price; well worth the wait. Thanks Aaron for being patient with me each visit and announcing its not here as soon as I walked in lol. If youre looking for quality at a good price check this place out; even if you have to wait it out.

Vast variety of products. Business caters to builders and home renovations alike. Customer Service could be better

Awesome. Sign-up on-line for their news release. Auction mid April 2021

Overall great place. Have been going for over 15 years. You now have to hunt for the value but still some great bargains. The intentions are there. Just a few parameters and people make it not worth the wait. Long lines to register/pay. Over zealous moonlighting cops securing the place very well but are horrible in the outside loading area creating logistical nightmares for customers, I get it everyone thinks they can direct traffic well.

Personnel can be friendlier also prices and shop available items can improve

Worst place. Very expensive. Bought some door. for $79 plus 10%, this come out $88, on top of that no trims. if you buy separate trims, then add another $20. This is coming out to be more expensive than home depot and if you have wrong size or anything, then no exchange. I bought 10 doors and one door, has the wrong size, they wont exchange it. Most of things are more expensive when add the price, the 10% commision and 3% credit card fees; you can see where it goes... not worth at all. You are better off home depot lowes

One of the best kept contractor secrets in Maryland (maybe I shouldnt be posting this) great places to get discounted prices on windows, doors, cabinets, appliances and most anything needed for home remodeling or repair. Well run and honest employees that generally point out any scratches or dents instead of trying to hide them. But this is an as is auction. Meaning you cant come back the day after and try to return something because you bought the wrong size. Know your sizes and do your home work before bidding.

Exelent products

Read This Before You Go. I attended the October auction. I read all the Google and Yelp reviews and all of the information on the company website, so I thought I was prepared for the event. Well, I wasnt; follow these dollar signs. On auction day, the items of my interest were new, but not open box new, and sold in an auction-type of style; however, the reserve minimums were not expected ($$). The opening bid was the reserve minimum and if no one took the bid they simply moved on to the next item vice dropping the bid and increasing from that point. That reserve price was non-negotiable. This is not an Everything Must Go auction and they have no problems not selling merchandise! For items that did not sell during the bidding, I observed customers come back and purchase those items for the reserve price. Also, auctions are happening simultaneously in different parts of the warehouse, so it is possible to miss out on some items of interest. While I successfully purchased cabinets and flooring, the savings were not as great once the dust settled. Because the cabinets are sold in pre-determined sets and sizes, I had to purchase additional pieces to complete my project ($$). If you need more pieces, or a size other than what came in a set, you would need to purchase the extra pieces from Southern Sales ($$). Then, when you factor in the Maryland Sales Tax ($$) and the 13% Buyers Premium for credit card purchases ($$), IT ADDS UP. I observed people paying more for a dishwasher than the price at Best Buy. Next, you will stand in a long line at the cashier window to pay for your items. You also must come prepared to load and haul your purchases that day, for which you will stand in another long line of similarly-tired customers while security checks off each and every item on your receipt. God help you if you have to make multiple trips to collect all items - like I did. If you order additional cabinets, you will pay a shipping fee ($$), BUT shipping is only to the Southern Sales warehouse NOT your residence. So, if you come from out of town, be prepared to make a return trip to Baltimore ($$). In the end, after the auction for cabinets and flooring, purchasing additional pieces, sales taxes, buyer premium, shipping costs, and an unplanned return trip to Baltimore, I saved a little money but overall it was not worth my time; but perhaps you will find it worth your time.

Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. When asking for assistance, I have received odd looks and reluctant responses. Happened on 2 occasions.

You have to register online to get a ticket to enter the monthly weekend auction.

Folks be very careful, they are no warranty’s no guarantees, dents and as is where is, you haul it home hook it up and fine it doesn’t work is not fun. They have a high reserve plus 13 percent so think before you go and be very careful.

Some great deals, some not so great. Huge warehouse with lots and lots and lots of variety of items. Be wise in what you purchase. Not everything will be a good dealResponse from the ownerHi Greg - Thank you for your review. Would you be so kind as to provide us with specific details as to which items are not so great deals?To respond to the owners question, from my vantage point, the appliances didnt have great deals. The auction starting point was too high on some of them and even on Sunday, staff priced them higher than the auction starting point even though no one bought them at the lower price. I figure if you still see them on the floor after a few months, you will bend to the markets asking price and lower them.

I love SS. I will be back Monday!

Southern Sales has a great variety of products from doors to lights and everything in between. However you need to be very mindful of the additional fees they charge before purchasing any items. The 10% AND 13% fees definitely add up.

Very confusing for a first timer, but I will definitely be back to learn the ropes

Its a process....I went three times before I even bothered to bid on anything. You definitely need to know what you are looking for. Its not a place to randomly shop.A few examples, I needed 8 entry doors...These run about $1800 a piece. I ended up buying three for $350 a pop.I needed new windows. I bought 20 windows for $65 each ($275 retail)Warning though...there are some things that arent complete. Dont bid on things you arent 100% sure of what they are. People do this all the time. I even warn people when they are bidding that its not what they think it is, only to have them regretfully sell the item to me for less then they bought it for since its a completely useless item without other parts.Example: I bought what I thought was a complete door handle set. It was only the front of the door (handle only). Next month I went back to buy the back side of the door handle, someone bid the price up to $350. After the auction, I bought half of what he bought for $100 since he totally didnt need 20 inside door handles.Great place for new constructions or remodels, not worthwhile for anyone else.

The 13% additional charge does add to make a significant difference in the overall value of the purchase!

Good deals to be had. Go visit once to get a feel for how the auction process works. They explain things very clearly, and you can save a ton here.

We purchased a French Door for $250. Plus tax and 10% buyers premium everywhere else they ran from $950 - $1300 and thats just the beginning, cast iron tub for $25, the list goes on and on. Its hotter than Hades in summer and colder than the Arctic in the winter but well worth it. Wear your most comfortable shoes, plan on being there all day the day of the sale, Its a lot of walking and standing there is no seating except in the food area and if you stay in there too long you will miss your deal. Do yourself a favor, go to the preview the Friday before the sale, take notes, organize the things you are interested in and make notes of where they are located in the warehouse. Its a big place and more stuff than you can imagine. Also go in there knowing what items retail for, Dont be the Joe Homeowner DIYer that runs the bids up, and ends up paying more than you pay at a retail store. That is a lose, lose for everyone.

Be aware of any kind of appliances, electronics, tools etc. (like waterheaters, ac units, etc) they are on auction for a reason, there is no reimbursement or exchange and u cannot test it when u buy it. Most of the time its junk and doesnt work.

Organized chaos but good finds here.

They do a monthly auction of construction materials, you can find very good prices but do your homework to know what you need and the market prices. no Air conditioning or heating. Plan to spend the full day, bring a foldable chair and water. Typically there is a barbecue vendor with nice beef, pork, ham or turkey sandwiches

Love it, best prices in town...

I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEM A BIG FAT ZERO.. ONCE YOU WIN A BID AND GO TO PAY.. YOU WILL FIND THAT THE PRICE IS NOT THE SAME, AND I SPOKE TO ADRIAN WHO SAID SO WHAT... WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT, WE DONT HAVE TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU ANYMORE... WE DONT NEED YOU AND DONT COME BACK. NOW IS THAT THE WAY TO HANDLE A CUSTOMER... WE WENT TO PAY FOR THE MERCHANDISE AND FOUND THEY PUT SOMEONE ELSES NUMBER ON IT AND RAISED THE PRICE. THEY HAVE INSIDERS THAT PAY THEM UNDER THE TABLE AND THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF THIS KIND BUT WILL DEFINITELY BE THE LAST.

I am going to report them to ADA. Accommodations refused for the disabled.

Everything that you could imagine for for indoorsmirrors doors lighting everything you can get for indoors its their flooring appliances

They have a lot of home improvement products. The only downfall is you cant see all of their stuff until they have the once per month auction. Its a good place to shop the auction if you need to get home improvement items cheaper than the chain stores.

When youre shopping in gray markets theres always risk as other reviewers have said. This isnt a walk in and get a steal, its walk in, keep your head on straight and have a lot of information and you MIGHT get a really good deal... or you might waste a lot of time. So choice is yours, pay retail and be done with it or take a change of getting burned or getting a great deal.

Price of lumber is super reasonable

They were fast in unloading me and getting me to the door. Ran out of hrs when I got there, but I just reset on the side of the street where they are located. Police never bothered me nor did anyone say anything about it. There was some confusion on if it was their load or not, but that wasnt their fault. There was a different company name on the paperwork.

This place is rehabber porn. Its an awesome experience. If you come for the auctions be sure to listen first and learn the rules before chiming in. Pay Home Depot prices for top of the line merchandise. I spent lots more than my original plans, but 10 years later I still have a jaw dropping kitchen. Its no frills shopping in a +100K sq ft wharehouse but worth the trip. Bring your measurements, several measuring tapes, a method for getting it home and an open mind.

A three ring circus. Multiple auctioneers going at once. Definitely an acquired taste. An adrenaline rush for the bargain hound renovator or landlord or homeowner fixer upper looking for the right stuff to complete their project. Go Friday to see if they have what you want and to register for the auction--otherwise, the wait in line just to register could be over an hour on Saturday. The first time you go, figure out what is going on. After that, you may be able to get good things at terrific prices.

Great finds for great prices 👍

They have a lots of very nice building materials at good prices however the customer services is poor especially the cashier. Needs to know how to be courteous to people.

What an amazing experience! Huge selection of items to browse through. Easy process. We will be back again.

Had a few things there damaged (not badly) and a lot of stuff to mod your space at a decent price. The 10% for paying cash on top of the 6% may turn a lot of people away. But go and give it your own opinion. They may have what you need without any to minimal damage.They have auctions for other items or you can buy what you see on the main floor.Just check everything before you purchase. If Im not mistaken, all sales are final.

Over priced

If you would like to experience, some auction life. Bring cash, checkbook, & credit cards with you...they have everything to build a beautiful home...enjoy.

Love working with Southern Sales. Aaron and the crew are pros!

I am a new rehab investor. I love southern sales since I started shopping there 1 Year ago. It is confusing, overwhelming, exhausting and fast paced. But the prices and deals you stumble upon are worth all of the sweat. Be prepared with measurements, specs, etc if you intend to purchase. Bring measuring tape and take pics of items including model numbers, if you want to research value, reviews. Most of their inventory is a higher quality than what I find in the other big hardware stores. The prices are usually much less if it happens to be an item that the big hardware sells. Do your homework.Or you can learn the hard way like I did. I didnt have my specs in order, I impulsively purchased items because it was such a good price , and coordinating getting those heavy items home is a chore too. You have until Monday to pickup without a fee. They dont load your vehicle so be prepared to lift and have a vehicle large enough to move without damage. I found a few truck rental companys like Budget rent 12 foot trucks for $25 day plus mileage. You can use 1 way service to save miles, no need for round trip.If you find that you bought stuff you didnt need, I have had no problem reselling my mistake purchases on Craigslist, letitgo. Most times I sold for what I paid or more.I highly recommend this place for any and all home projects

I got a 15 piece 42 kitchen cabinet set for 2400...im ecstatic 😀

Best place ever to get appliances and doors etc. for renovations and updates.

Great place if your remodeling, they have some great deals.

Great team and super products, love working with these guys!

Crazy amount of stuff

Great finds. Go on a bad weather day. Plan to have your list and spend the day to try to get it all

This is a great place to buy !!! started in 2004 and still going, you cant beat the prices.

N!ot sure about these bad reviews!! My experience was great! Purchased a awesome front door for $1250 saw it at home depot for $2100.

You can get some good deals there

I found the prices to be very high once all the fees had been added.The quality was scratch and dent at retail prices.All sales are final so make sure you look over what you are buying and that all the parts are included.

The deals arent what they used to be, can get lucky though.

Dont go here thinking this is an auction, I would more describe it as a store where you have the opportunity to pay more than the regular sale price. 90% of auctions went like this: starting bids were similar to retail, no bids, no sale, move on to next item (starting bid not lowered if no sale). If youre looking for windows you could get a good deal but most other things were over priced, waste of time in general. Not an auction house.

I went there looking for bathroom sink. I was in the process of examining a sick when an associate or woman who worked there came over and asked me what I was doing. She also said, and I quote, If you break it guess whos paying for it. I hope you have the money. I was offended it felt it was racist. SHE DIDNT MAKE THESE COMMENTS TO THE WHITE PEOPKE THAT WERE THERE. If I couldnt aggord to pay for the sink, I would not be at the aution trying to purchase one.

Great place.

This place is AMAZING! They have everything

A lot of what they sell is damaged, second hand stuff. Give everything a thorough look before you buy - take it out of the packaging because it will hide damaged goods and they wont tell you about it.

That was my first visit. I was surprised at how much stuff they had, and the types of stuff. Wish they had one closer to where I live. (DC)

It is an auction house once a month and a store front to sell 1/10th of the items the rest of the time. They are in the business of moving products and getting paid on the auction charge of 10% add 3% if you are paying credit card. Cash / debit has no fee. Also add Maryland tax.For the auction the preview on Friday before is highly recommended. Research what you are looking at & what you need. Register on Friday.Auction starts Saturday around 10. It is over by 3.The multiple auctioneers working the floor are calm, and respectful to the needs of the bidders. It is a family run business with high quality products. Typically a BBQ vendor comes and sets up inside the building. The only heaters are propane run so dress for outdoor weather.Hardwood flooring in the bulk lots is going to be less than 1/2 the price in a standard store. Vanities in the center of the place will go for less than 1/3 the Home Depot price and they are higher quality. The other vanities closer to the appliances are unique special orders from anywhere you would be looking. Some of the appliances arent the crap at Best Buy, it would likely be items higher quality similar something from Bray & Scarff (but B&S doesnt sell Electrolux). Think Sub Zero, Miel, Thermador, Bertazzoni... There are a ton of windows, exterior doors & interior doors. The interior doors are very well priced for the large variety they carry.You can get a complete kitchen cabinet package for under $5,000.Deals Ive purchased include appliance packages, wine cooler, washer dryer sets, $400 double door which was a custom Home Depot order retailing for $2,200+, vanities, pallet of Kohler faucets, 10+ toilets...

This place is a scam!! I even got screwed on the ebay store they have...never again! advertised it as new in box and once the auction was over...i got a message oh during inspection the item was damaged. money was refunded but what a waste of time! They even tried the old bait and switch with another product over the phone.

Great product !

As long as you do your research you will not find a better place for the deals on quality the staff is Upfront and honest so take your nonsense elsewhere

Has any + every thing that a home owner could need!!

Great customer service and great place

Good deals on home improvement goods

Great deals but very crowded and hectic

Anyone rehabbing their home this place saves you thousands of dollars

So many options! Such grwat prices

Very confusing for the first time, not much guidance or help.

Its kinda of an auction kinda a dude selling stuff

Only on the outside.

Pleasantly surprised

Great deals

Friendly people

I love this place

The employees are very friendly and helpful

It is a company with much success to which I respect a lot thanks to that business I had many things in life which I worked for a long time greetings to Mr. Zinmerman
