Dropping the Hammer: auction

That's a question that I hear nearly every day!

And the answer is.....Anything you can think of!

A partial list of things that we've sold includes:

Real Estate of all types.....farm land, commercial land, retail stores, homes, industrial property, historical property
Commercial assets.....road tractors and trailers, farm tractors, cranes, forklifts, loaders, office equipment, industrial machinery
Farm machinery....tractors, planters, tillage implements, pickers, combines
Personal property of all kinds.....antiques, silver, china, furniture, art, hobbyist tools, jewelry, watches
Collections.....coins, knives, currency, collectible items like porcelains and pottery
Vehicles....ranging from muscle cars to exotic cars to daily drivers

In short....you name it, and there's a good chance it'll sell in an auction!

When you have something to sell, let us know....the market is there, and we'll tap it for you!

This morning, an acquaintance and Facebook Friend, Aaron Traffas (an auctioneer from Kansas) shared this quote:

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

I was thinking about this while on an auction site this morning, and made an abbreviated list of some of the things that I've done in my work, in just the past few days. While I haven't had to set a bone, or butcher a hog lately, the partial and recent list includes:

A real estate closing
Title search in another county's courthouse
Sold a car
Sold the contents of a home
Carpentry work
Loaded furniture
Taken pictures
Invoicing
Collecting
Banking
Create & place ads
Created a catalog
Consult with prospective clients
Settled with a Seller for an auction
Taken orders
Given orders
Coordinate with a trucking company
Filed forms with IRS
Worked on an industry association project

That's just a partial list for me, but I don't think it is too far removed from what any auctioneer does over the course of a day or two. (Note: this list doesn't include the honey-do's from home!)

We are all busy, and lots of us have many talents, and multiple required tasks. As an Auctioneer, I'm tasked with solving problems. And there's a wide range of problems that need solving, and an even wider range of capabilities are required.

Can we help you?
