This auction will also serve as our first auction working in our new 5,200 square foot warehouse. While our auction days will still remain virtual as they have since the inception of the company, we now can welcome interested parties in for guided auction previews where you can touch, hold and see the items you’d like to purchase. We also will be available the week following the auction for in person pickup if you’re with-in driving distance. This new space also offers us a loading dock where we can better accommodate freight shipments around the country and so much more. We look forward to sharing more with you about this space and our plans for it in the coming months.
