I get that question at least once a day. Someone calls in and says "I have some stuff I want to get rid of and I was recommended to come here... but what is it that you do?" The short answer is easy. "We sell everything at absolute auction to the highest bidder."
Now that may be easy to understand to someone who has been to auctions before, but maybe not to your average person. Our main business is estate auctions. When someone passes away the family needs to dispose of the items in that persons home. Rather than having a yard sale or giving it away, the family calls us. We take a look at the items the family is looking to get rid of and we tell them if auction is the appropriate way to go or not.
One thing I tell people is that since we do mostly estate work, anything that you would find in a house, you will eventually find here. Anything. From 18th century furniture, to pots and pans, tools, collectibles, vehicles, jewelry, and everything in between. We get it all.
So don't be afraid to come out and see what we have. We won't sell you something that you didn't want if you scratch your nose. And you just might find a few things that you can't live without.
