Solid but Could Improve Timing

Service was solid, price fair. They arrived 30 min late but apologised and earned my trust back.


img 2/5.0 23, Feb 2025

Disorganized and Not Worth the Wait

I reached out with pictures and info, and they took 4 days just to reply. Finally got a date set but they canceled last minute, then showed up late on the rescheduled day too. The guy was polite but seemed in a rush, barely explained how pricing worked. Payment came after 2 more days. Whole thing felt messy. I probably should?ve gone with someone more professional and faster.


img 5/5.0 17, Feb 2025

Definitely Recommend

If you?re on the fence about selling, give these folks a try. I had a good experience and would happily do business again.


img 5/5.0 11, Feb 2025

Handled Everything on Site

Didn?t need to prep or clean anything. He brought boxes, gloves, and was in and out quickly. Really efficient.


img 5/5.0 05, Feb 2025

On Time and Professional

He was right on time, dressed neatly, and very respectful. Handled the transaction like a pro.


img 4/5.0 30, Jan 2025

Friendly & Fair

They were easy to talk to, no hard sell. Offer was good. Pickup scheduling was a tiny confusing but it worked out.


img 5/5.0 24, Jan 2025

Appreciate the Clarity

Everything was explained?how pricing works, what affects value, what doesn?t. That transparency really built trust for me.


img 5/5.0 18, Jan 2025

Perfect Transaction

Honestly couldn?t have gone smoother. Scheduled fast, offer was clear, and payment immediate. Would use again without hesitation.


img 5/5.0 12, Jan 2025

Respected My Sentimental Items

I sold bottles from my late father?s bar. Thomas was kind, didn?t rush me, and paid fair. It meant more than just money.


img 4/5.0 06, Jan 2025

Professional at Home

Showed up, wore gloves, packaged bottles carefully. I had one small delay with funds but he promptly followed up.


img 5/5.0 31, Dec 2024

No Fluff, Just Solid Service

Not flashy, not salesy. Just a guy who knows his stuff and treats you right. I respect that.


img 5/5.0 25, Dec 2024

Helpful From Start to Finish

From first email to final pickup, the whole thing was smooth. Questions answered, time respected, money paid. Can?t ask for much more.


img 5/5.0 19, Dec 2024

Quick Cash When I Needed It

Sold a couple bottles after a move. Got a fair price and walked away with cash. Super easy.


img 3/5.0 13, Dec 2024

Fair Appraisal, But Waited

Told me why certain bottles had value, which was helpful. Offer was solid. But I waited 5 days for pickup. They were nice, just slow.


img 5/5.0 07, Dec 2024

Loved the Knowledge

Thomas clearly knows spirits. He even told me stories about some distillers I?d never heard of. Learned a lot just talking to him.


img 5/5.0 01, Dec 2024

Fair Offers, No Pressure

He looked at everything, gave me a price, and told me to think about it if I wasn?t sure. No pressure, no guilt. Super rare.


img 1/5.0 25, Nov 2024

Unreliable and Unresponsive

Initial contact was great, they seemed interested and asked questions. But once I agreed to sell, everything slowed down. Took forever to respond, and when they finally did, the date kept changing. After that, I just stopped hearing from them completely. It?s frustrating cause I made the effort to prepare everything. They really need to improve communication if they want to be taken seriously.


img 5/5.0 19, Nov 2024

Worked Around My Schedule

I had work during the week, but they agreed to a Sunday morning pickup. Really appreciated that flexibility.


img 5/5.0 13, Nov 2024

Treated the Bottles with Care

He handled each bottle gently and boxed them carefully. I could tell he respected the items, not just the value. That meant something.


img 4/5.0 07, Nov 2024

Good Value, Slight Wait

Price was fair, value seemed inline with market. Had to wait a week for route schedule. Not perfect but worth it.


img 5/5.0 01, Nov 2024

Great for First Timers

Never sold liquor before and didn?t know what to expect. These guys made it painless. Clear, kind, and quick.


img 4/5.0 26, Oct 2024

Good for First Timers

New to selling spirits?felt comfortable. They explained process. Pickup was later than they said but honoured price.


img 5/5.0 20, Oct 2024

Helped Me Identify Bottles

I wasn?t sure what I had. Some old whiskey from my grandfather. They helped identify labels and gave honest feedback. I appreciate the honesty.


img 5/5.0 14, Oct 2024

Zero Hassle Sale

No back and forth, no weird pricing tricks. Got a good offer and they stuck with it. Transaction took less than 20 minutes.


img 4/5.0 08, Oct 2024

Local Experts

Thomas clearly knows his spirits. He mentioned midwest distillers and small batch trends. Felt educated and trusted.


img 5/5.0 02, Oct 2024

Glad I Reached Out

Didn?t know if they?d even want my smaller collection, but Thomas was super nice. Came out the next day and took everything I had. Very smooth process.


img 5/5.0 26, Sep 2024

Respectful of My Time

Scheduled a short window and showed up exactly within it. Didn?t keep me waiting all day like some people. Respect matters.


img 5/5.0 20, Sep 2024

Repeat Customer Here

This was my third time selling to them. They?ve always been punctual and paid what they said. No drama, just smooth deals.


img 5/5.0 14, Sep 2024

Knew Regional Brands

I had some bottles from small batch Midwest distilleries, and he recognized them right away. That kind of knowledge matters.


img 4/5.0 08, Sep 2024

Respectful Process

They treated sentimental bottles gently and didn?t make me feel rushed. Offer was competitive, just wish pickup hour was tighter.


img 5/5.0 02, Sep 2024

Went Above and Beyond

I had trouble getting a few boxes to my front door and Thomas offered to help carry them. Small thing but made the experience even better.


img 5/5.0 27, Aug 2024

Very Transparent

They took time to explain how pricing worked, what mattered, and what didn?t. Didn?t feel like they were hiding anything.


img 5/5.0 21, Aug 2024

Came Highly Recommended

A friend referred me to them. I can see why?they were on time, made a fair offer, and even gave me storage tips for the few bottles I kept.


img 3/5.0 15, Aug 2024

Friendly, But Plan Ahead

Thomas was friendly and respectful, and cared about bottle condition. Pick?up window was weekdays only though. Wish they had more flexible timing.


img 5/5.0 09, Aug 2024

Smooth Communication

Email, text, phone?all fast and responsive. No waiting around for days to hear back. Really liked that.


img 5/5.0 03, Aug 2024

Great Estate Experience

After my father passed, I had to sell a large spirit collection. Midwest made that process much less overwhelming. Grateful for their help.


img 1/5.0 28, Jul 2024

Unclear Pricing, Felt Lowballed

They told me they?d offer based on market value, but the number they gave was way off from what others offered. I asked for a breakdown and didn?t really get any clear explanation. Just felt like they wanted the cheapest deal possible. I understand business is business, but at least be transparent about how you?re pricing. I didn?t feel comfortable and definitely won?t be contacting again.


img 5/5.0 22, Jul 2024

Understood Market Trends

They explained why certain bottles have gone up in value and others dropped. I liked that insight and it helped me decide what to keep.


img 5/5.0 16, Jul 2024

Tidy and Professional

They didn?t just grab bottles and go. Everything was carefully wrapped and boxed. Felt like dealing with a real business, not a random guy.


img 5/5.0 10, Jul 2024

Really Easy to Work With

The whole process took less than 48 hours from first contact to cash in hand. Way easier than selling online myself.


img 4/5.0 04, Jul 2024

Fair Rates

I checked market comps online?price was solid. Only minus was pick?up took a bit longer, but they let me know ahead.


img 5/5.0 28, Jun 2024

Treated Me With Respect

Sometimes people talk down to you in this industry, especially if you?re not a collector. That didn?t happen here. Thomas was polite and professional the whole time.


img 5/5.0 22, Jun 2024

No Shipping Hassles

Didn?t have to box anything up or figure out shipping. They came to me and picked up in person. Super convenient and safe.


img 3/5.0 16, Jun 2024

Transparent, but bank delay

They detailed their pricing and what they buy. Good transparency. Bank transfer arrived a day late, but they alerted me ahead.


img 5/5.0 10, Jun 2024

Realistic Expectations

They told me upfront which bottles had value and which didn?t. Some I thought were worth a lot weren?t, but they explained why. I appreciated the honesty.


img 4/5.0 04, Jun 2024

Knowledge with Patience

He answered my many questions about bottle conditions and value. Felt patient and honest. Slight delay in cash transfer, but I got it.


img 5/5.0 29, May 2024

Efficient Pickup

Came right when they said they would, didn?t waste time, and wrapped up everything within half an hour. Felt smooth and well-organized.


img 5/5.0 23, May 2024

Fair and Transparent

I was worried they?d undervalue my bottles. Instead, they broke down the price clearly and gave me links to see market value myself. That built trust.


img 5/5.0 17, May 2024

Knew His Stuff

Showed him my old family bottle of bourbon. He actually recognized it and told me about its bottling history. Very cool and insightful. Felt more like an exchange than a sale.


img 5/5.0 11, May 2024

Everything Went As Promised

I?ve had some bad experiences online. But here, everything went just as described. No bait and switch, no delay. Straightforward process and fast money.


img 3/5.0 05, May 2024

Good Price, Poor Timing

I got a solid price and they respected my bottles. Only problem was pick?up was late afternoon on a weekday?didn't work for my job.


img 5/5.0 29, Apr 2024

Helped With Downsizing

I was trying to simplify before moving. Thomas helped me go through old bottles, gave realistic offers, and even helped carry them out to his car. Lifesaver.


img 4/5.0 23, Apr 2024

Estate Help Good

They helped sort through my dad?s old collection. Kind and calm, though they took longer than expected. Offer fair, overall positive.


img 5/5.0 17, Apr 2024

Responsive and Friendly

Got back to my inquiry within a day. Setup was easy and the person I dealt with was friendly, knew his stuff, and kept things relaxed. No pressure.


img 5/5.0 11, Apr 2024

Highly Recommend for Estates

We didn?t know what half the stuff in my uncle?s cabinet even was. Thomas helped identify everything, gave fair offers, and took the whole lot in one visit.


img 5/5.0 05, Apr 2024

Meticulous and Honest

Checked seals, labels, and dates super carefully. Didn?t lowball or rush it. Offered more than I thought I?d get for some dusty ones.


img 4/5.0 30, Mar 2024

Helpful Sorting

Assisted me identify whisky labels I didn?t know. Offer fair. Pickup took two visits instead of one, but they communicated it.


img 5/5.0 24, Mar 2024

Genuinely Cares About Spirits

He wasn't just buying bottles?he asked about how I got them, knew history behind labels, and even shared tips on proper storage. Felt like talking to someone who cares.


img 5/5.0 18, Mar 2024

Not Pushy at All

Felt no pressure to sell my entire stash. He looked over everything, told me what was worth selling, and didn?t push beyond that. Felt respected.


img 5/5.0 12, Mar 2024

Appreciate Their Patience

I had to reschedule twice and they didn?t mind at all. Still showed up with a smile, checked everything carefully, and paid me what was discussed. Really kind people.


img 3/5.0 06, Mar 2024

Knowledge Strong, Schedule Weak

Great knowledge about rare spirits. But scheduling was an issue?they mix routes, so I had to adjust twice. Price was fair though.


img 5/5.0 29, Feb 2024

Smooth from Start to Finish

Great communication, easy scheduling, and quick payment. Even helped me move some heavy boxes I couldn?t lift alone. Great experience.


img 5/5.0 23, Feb 2024

My First Time Selling

I?ve collected bottles for years but never sold any. Thomas explained how value?s determined and made it feel easy. Transaction was clean and simple.


img 1/5.0 17, Feb 2024

Terrible Coordination

The guy was nice when we spoke at first, but everything else was a mess. Pickup was changed three times, and I took off work for nothing. On the last day, I waited and he never showed or called. That?s just disrespectful. If you can?t stick to your own plan or even notify someone, then maybe don?t promise what you can?t deliver. Wouldn?t recommend at all.


img 5/5.0 11, Feb 2024

No Nonsense, Just Honest Work

Didn?t give me the runaround or try to confuse me with jargon. Just clear answers, fair appraisal, and respectful attitude. You don?t always get that in this space.


img 5/5.0 05, Feb 2024

Quick Turnaround

Sent pictures of my dad?s bourbon collection, got a response the same evening. Thomas arranged pickup within two days and paid that same afternoon. Honestly smoother than I thought it'd be.


img 5/5.0 30, Jan 2024

Came Through When Others Didn?t

Tried two other buyers before finding Midwest. One ghosted me, the other gave a lowball offer. These guys were responsive, polite, and actually knew what they were talking about. I felt taken seriously.


img 1/5.0 24, Jan 2024

Disrespectful Attitude

The tone in their messages was not very friendly or respectful. I had some questions about a rare bottle and got short, dismissive answers. Made me feel like I was bothering them. I was ready to sell, but the way they talked just turned me off completely. If someone?s bringing you business, at least act like you care a little. Won?t be trying them again.


img 5/5.0 18, Jan 2024

Very Professional

Showed up in uniform, used labeled boxes, handled documents neatly. Felt like licensed pro, not random collector.


img 4/5.0 12, Jan 2024

Clear Communication

They texted before arriving and kept to schedule. Offer matched what they quoted initially, so I felt they honored the agreement.


img 5/5.0 06, Jan 2024

Nice Packaging Guide

Before sending a bottle for shipping, they gave me packaging tips to protect it. Bottle arrived safe and price stayed fair.


img 5/5.0 31, Dec 2023

Good With Estates

Inherited bottles, didn?t know what to do. Midwest came in, sorted, appraised, and hauled away. Made grieving easier.


img 1/5.0 25, Dec 2023

Too Much Back and Forth

I spent almost a week just emailing back and forth trying to get a clear answer on what bottles they accept. Every time I asked something, I got half answers or just more questions. It felt like they didn?t know what they wanted or weren?t really interested. I would?ve rather just been told yes or no up front instead of all the circles. Not a great experience.


img 5/5.0 19, Dec 2023

Worth My Wait

Waited a week for their route to reach my area. Offer was slightly higher than other buyers, so waited gladly.


img 5/5.0 13, Dec 2023

Helpful Price Guide

Before pickup, he sent a detailed pricing sheet based on market data. Helped me set expectations.


img 3/5.0 07, Dec 2023

Decent Value, Pickup Could Improve

Price was in line with what I found online. But pickup took nearly a week to schedule. They were polite, just a bit slow in booking.


img 5/5.0 01, Dec 2023

Repeat Customer

Sold with them a second time. Just as smooth as first. Trustworthy service and consistent pricing.


img 4/5.0 25, Nov 2023

Fast Response

Emailed pics on Sunday, got reply Monday morning with price. Pickup was scheduled the next week - good turnaround, if a bit slow.


img 5/5.0 19, Nov 2023

No Hard Sell

I had only one bottle to sell. He didn?t push me to clear my whole cabinet. Respectful and patient.


img 1/5.0 13, Nov 2023

Bad Communication All Around

Felt like pulling teeth to get them to answer emails. I kept asking when they?d be in my area and never got a straight response. When they finally gave me a date, I made arrangements but they canceled last minute with no new time offered. At that point I just gave up. Not saying they?re scammers, but they clearly don?t have their process together.


img 5/5.0 07, Nov 2023

Clean & Tidy

After removing bottles, he left my home as clean as he found it. Didn?t trash my shelves. Nice gesture.


img 4/5.0 01, Nov 2023

Friendly Chat

Thomas spent time chatting about distilleries and regional spirits. I wasn?t sure I wanted to sell, but he made me feel valued. Offer was decent.


img 5/5.0 26, Oct 2023

Good Communication

Texts and calls were clear. Gave a 30?min heads?up before arriving. Felt considerate of my time.


img 5/5.0 20, Oct 2023

Flexible Scheduling

Had busy weekday schedule. They offered a Saturday time spot. Came on weekend, paid cash. Nice touch.


img 4/5.0 14, Oct 2023

Transparent but Limited Timing

Offer and process was clear, gave background on market. Pickup times were only weekdays during office hrs, wasn?t ideal for me but manageable.


img 5/5.0 08, Oct 2023

Knowledge + Integrity

Clearly they do their homework. He compared comps, didn?t low-ball, and genuinely seemed to care about fair pricing.


img 5/5.0 02, Oct 2023

Secure Transaction

He walked me through verification, took photos, provided paperwork. Felt like a real business dealing with valuables safely.


img 1/5.0 26, Sep 2023

No Show and No Reply

Scheduled a pick-up and they confirmed the time, but then no one showed up. Didn?t even get a message to cancel. I tried calling, no answer. Later that night I got a short text saying they?d come another day, but they never followed up. If you can?t keep appointments or communicate better, what?s the point? Felt like they didn?t take me seriously at all.


img 5/5.0 20, Sep 2023

Great First Time Seller

Never sold booze before. They made me feel comfortable, answered "dumb" questions patiently, and I got fair value. Felt legit.


img 5/5.0 14, Sep 2023

Super Convenient

I didn?t have to drive to them?they came to me. Paid on the spot. No shipping headaches. Exactly what I needed.


img 4/5.0 08, Sep 2023

Clean and Respectful

They handled my collection with care, boxing bottles neatly. Slight delay with bank transfer but they communicated it ahead, so I appreciate that.


img 5/5.0 02, Sep 2023

Impressed by Collection Help

Thomas helped me weed out bottles I didn?t plan to sell, but was happy to take them. He gave my collection room to grow?really thoughtful.


img 5/5.0 27, Aug 2023

Local Expertise Rocks

Great knowledge about regional whiskey trends. Provided insights that I?d never considered. Pricing felt in line with current market.


img 1/5.0 21, Aug 2023

Felt Like a Scam

I sent in all the details they asked for, including clear photos and bottle conditions. Got a very generic response with no real info, just a low offer and push to schedule fast. I asked a few questions about how they value bottles and never got a straight answer. Felt super sketchy and rushed. I walked away from the deal and glad I did. Didn?t feel trustworthy.


img 5/5.0 15, Aug 2023

Professional & Courteous

He introduced himself, wore gloves, handled labels carefully. It wasn?t just quick cash?it was respectful. Very glad I chose them.


img 5/5.0 09, Aug 2023

Fair Offer for Rare

I thought my 30?year?old bourbon was worthless. Thomas looked it up, offered a good sum. Felt like a win-win.


img 2/5.0 03, Aug 2023

Took Too Long and Not Very Clear

I was expecting a smoother experience honestly. The guy seemed nice but I didn?t get a clear timeline on when they?d come out. I waited over a week with barely any updates, and when he showed up, the offer was way lower than what was mentioned earlier. Not saying it was a scam or anything, just felt like it wasn?t very organized or consistent. I wouldn't recommend for urgent needs.


img 5/5.0 28, Jul 2023

Smooth Estate Sale

We had 50+ bottles from a family estate. He handled sorting, valuing, packing and picked everything up same day. Super helpful through a stressful process.


img 5/5.0 22, Jul 2023

Helpful & Patient

I asked lots of questions about bottle condition and provenance. Thomas patiently answered and adjusted price fairly. No pressure, honest talk, felt comfortable.


img 4/5.0 16, Jul 2023

Smooth Overall

Everything was smooth: pricing, packaging, pick?up. Only hiccup was I had to remind them of pickup date once.


img 5/5.0 10, Jul 2023

Transparent Deal

No weird hidden fees. The price offered matched what he told me upfront. Felt totally transparent and easy to trust.


img 5/5.0 04, Jul 2023

Responded Fast

Emailed late Saturday, got a reply within hours and scheduled pickup by Monday. Appreciated how responsive they are and price was fair for my dusty stash.


img 4/5.0 28, Jun 2023

Clean Transaction

Bottles packed neat. Documentation provided. Cash transfer was fast, only minor wait after account verification.


img 3/5.0 22, Jun 2023

Appraisal Clear, Timing Meh

Upfront about what they?ll buy and not buy. Offer was clear, but transfer took longer than they said. Communication decent but could be better.


img 3/5.0 16, Jun 2023

Knowledgeable But Slow Schedule

They knew vintage whiskeys well and offered fair rates. Unfortunately they only work weekdays and took a while to get to me. Felt it was good, just slow.


img 5/5.0 10, Jun 2023

Pleasant Experience

Thomas came with care, braved my messy home cellar, and handled my bottles gently. No spills, no fuss. Just a smooth way to offload and get paid reasonably.


img 5/5.0 04, Jun 2023

Trustworthy Process

Never felt rushed. I showed a few old brandies, he inspected them carefully, and explained each step. Paid same day via bank transfer, which is great.


img 4/5.0 30, May 2023

Knowledgeable but Busy

He knew rare whiskeys well, explained provenance and age. Mostly good but staff seemed a bit rushed. Price was fair so I?m happy overall.


img 1/5.0 24, May 2023

Wasted My Time

I reached out with photos of bottles they said they buy, but after days of back and forth they just stopped responding. I followed up twice and never heard back again. Pretty unprofessional if you ask me. I made space in my schedule thinking it would go somewhere. Ended up selling to someone else who actually followed through. Don?t waste people?s time if you?re not gonna commit.


img 5/5.0 18, May 2023

Convenient Pickup

I live a bit out of his usual route but he scheduled a weekend pickup with no extra fee. Very cool to have that option and get cash in hand fast.


img 3/5.0 12, May 2023

Offer Was Fair, Pickup Delayed

Thomas gave a reasonable appraisal and offer. But pickup was delayed by two days without much notice. They apologized, but it did throw my weekend plans off. Fair price though overall okay.


img 5/5.0 06, May 2023

Fair Value, No Pressure

I had one rare rye and Thomas offered me a solid price without pushing more sales. I ended up selling two. He was respectful and even cleaned up area after pick?up.


img 4/5.0 01, May 2023

Good Pickup Service

We arranged in?home pickup for my inherited stash. He arrived late however he was polite, told good info about bottle age. Offer was solid, just wished they were more punctual.


img 5/5.0 25, Apr 2023

Friendly Spirits Chat

Thomas is clearly passionate about spirits, not just buying. We spent 20 min talking about vintage whiskey labels. Ended up selling three bottles I didn?t even plan on selling. It feels nice to share that enthusiasm.


img 5/5.0 19, Apr 2023

Great Remote Appraisal

Sent pics first, got a decent estimate and he came over next day. Took a few bottles, paid me by phone and email confirmation?super professional and easy.


img 5/5.0 13, Apr 2023

Knowledgeable Buyer

Had a dusty old Scotch and wasn?t sure its worth. Thomas knew the brand, explained value, and made a strong offer. Feel like I got more than I deserved. Transferred funds fast.


img 4/5.0 07, Apr 2023

Helpful Appraisal

Thomas gave me a free appraisal over the phone and pointed me to trust me about pricing. Still waited a day for pick?up, but worth it. Felt friendly and legit.


img 5/5.0 02, Apr 2023

Quick, Fair Deal

Thomas showed up right on time, gave me a good offer for a couple of rare bourbons I inherited. Friendly convo, quick payout, zero hassle. Wasn?t expecting much but ended up pleasantly surprised.
