Hilltop Auction & Banquet Center
Too much to move? Don't worry, we are available to do on-site auctions for estates, business liquidations and machinery auctions. In addition to our weekly consignments, Hilltop Auction can also sell your commercial & residential real estate! Hilltop Auction is a family owned local business in Alton, IL.

In 1937, the original founder, Art Long, started the business as a live stock auction and over time converted to an auction house to do it all: real estate and personal property. The business was very successful until 1980, when Art unexpectedly passed away. It was at this time that the auction house was purchased by George Carroll.

Great place to buy stuff. The cook is always rude though and I had an item stole there. But the auctioneer's son did make the item right.

Good deals to be had, experienced auctioneers that keep everything moving. People who run it are very nice. Unfortunately there seems to be a group of older people who, for some strange reason, love to run up bids on things and even bid against themselves! They usually do this at the beginning. They are literally just bidding against themselves and paying WAY over for items. I don't know if they do this for fun, to mess with each other..or what. My advice is that they usually leave early, so the deals are to be had later in the auction.

Seller beware. Within the past 5 months I took some stuff in for sale. I was told it would be at least 3-4 weeks until my stuff sold at auction and also told pictures of my stuff would be posted on their facebook and auctionzip page for buyers to see. I came back for my check a month later and the check is dated the next Monday after I took my stuff in and no pictures were ever posted of my stuff in advance. The good thing is the check cleared but I feel ripped off they didn't follow through on anything else they told me would happen. Someone got a real good deal or maybe was planned that way.

If you love auctions, this is the place to go. Great staff and a good regular crowd. Lots of consignments and estates usually make for an exceptional selection of used merchandise. Auctions are generally on Mondays at 4:30p.m. A preview is usually available after 1:30p.m.
