I miss this place so much. The building is an old auto repair shop which looks to have been built…read morein the early 1900s. Everyone and anyone can place items up for sale. In the back of the building are rows of very old theater chairs facing towards what looks to be a judges stand. The items for sale are usually in soda flats or fruit boxes. The boxes are stacked on or below tables that are attached to rolling platforms. Large items like bikes or washing machines are stored in an area to the right of the stage. One by one a table is rolled to the front and the auctioneers helpers try their best to identify the item. There is no way for me to type what this place sounds like. The auctioneer is yelling gibberish numbers and multiple helpers yell "YEP" when someone raises their hand. It is a family run business and has not changed much in the many years they have operated. The father was the best auctioneer but since around 1996 his son has taken over. You could find literally anything for sale at this place. Make sure to register ahead of time because you cant buy without a buyers number!

Smelkers Auction in Wellington Colorado is such a trip, They sell just about anything and…read moreeverything you can imagine. The reason items change so much is that locals use it as a clearing house for there unwanted or excess items along with estate closeouts and storage unit sell outs. The mixture is ever changing so you never know for sure what you might find. From Coin collections to Whale Baleen you can find it all. My father is a big tools collector and always seems to find a tool he can't live without and my girlfriend found some mahogany furniture that was off the charts beautiful...My bread maker and Oster mixer were also purchased here... My husband found a beautiful set of cabinets for our guest apartment and there always seems to be a few big items outside. So if you happen to be in the neighborhood on a Friday night stop on in and check it out. Treasures await and you will certainly have a chance to see some stuff...There are some restaurants in town too so come check in for your Auction ( bidding) number, go dine then attend what the locals call - "a-regular deal" it starts @ 6:30 PM every Friday night. Be sure to tell Curtis (owner/auctioneer) I sent ya it might get ya front row seat...HA HA - not really.

It used to…read morebe a day of entertainment and fun to watch OJ work his unique humor and magic with an auction crowd. Unfortunately, gone are those days and it's just another business that has gone by the wayside. It also has joined the ranks of businesses that used to be great but is best to bypass now. You can call and make sure someone will be there to take your consignment. Then drive and hour + to get there only to be told by the receptionist that neither of the 2 men that could except the items are there. "Can you contact them?" No, they are not answering the phones. Enough said. It's probably a blessing they were not there after reading the other Reviews on Yelp about them... You have been warned !!

The hothead in charge is criticized by his own staff and flies off the handle without notice. Claims to have experts in all areas but no one knew that fabric is sold in bolts not rolls. Put merchandise of mine that had 2 parts in different lots and in some cases in lots containing merchandise owned by other consignors. Bottom line: lack of professionalism throughout the organization resulted in sales of less than 25% of what they reasonably should have been. Never again!
