This is a full service country auction house that seats 350 and auctions everything that the local…read morepopulation would be interested in. This includes anything that the auction house can gets its hands on: some of the items included clothes, antiques, furniture coins, knives, farm livestock (chickens, duck, pigeons, rabbits, goats, sheep, horses etc.) and farm equipment. Most items sell for under $20 but there is no limit and depending on the item, the bidding can go high. I saw a lot of new leather jackets in good condition sold for around $10. Live chickens, ducks and rabbits were selling for anywhere between $2.25 to $8 each depending. Bill Roark is the owner and auctioneer. There is a full kitchen that serves everything from Hamburgers, hot dogs, tater tots, fries, chicken nuggets, cheese nachos, soda, sandwiches, desserts, coffee, hot chocolate, tea, chips, candies etc.The fried items are all fried (from frozen) to order and are so always hot and taste good. The food is sold at extremely reasonable prices and it seems that the main purpose of selling food is to make sure that auction customers stick around and do not leave just because they are hungry.

I've found Kimball Sterling to be knowledgeable, honest and forthright. On Labor Day 2023 he and…read morehis team did a house auction for us. Before the auction his men arranged and lotted our holdings and displayed them in a pleasing manner. He also advertised the sale in local newspapers and an Antique collectors trade magazine. Although attendance was quite good our sale was a financial disaster. Items that I collected for 40 years brought pennies on the dollar. The problem was that I held those items long after interest in them had diminished. Kimball did everything in his power to maximize the return on my investment. Since that time I've sold other items through his auction and been extremely pleased with the results.
