Watching a Massey auction is like a cross between an episode of American Pickers and Antiques Road…read moreShow, but more entertaining! The regular bi-weekly Thursday night auctions, as well as the scheduled estate sales, always have a rollicking mix of items.... all jumbled together. A Chippendale chair might be auctioned just before or just after a pair of old golf shoes. You just never know! I'll bet there's not a lot that the Masseys haven't sold over the years! With the recent scandals at Ivey-Selkirk, it's hard to find a good auction house in the area, but the Masseys are doing a great job of picking up the slack without taking the fun out of their jobs. They like the upscale estates, but aren't averse to selling old farm equipment or store liquidations, either -- they just good-naturedly tackle the job at hand, and put on a really good show while doing so. The audiences are a hoot, too. You see a LOT of local antique dealers looking for bargains, lots of toothless Fagin types and hairy ZZ Top wannabes, and everything in between. Doesn't matter who you are or what you look like, though, because the Masseys like everyone, whether you're a bargain-hunter, an antique dealer, or an upscale collector, and they make it a point to entertain. Even if you aren't buying anything, it's fun just to watch the sale! That said, I've gotten a lot of magnificent pieces of furniture at Massey Auctions; some of it just reasonable and some of it for a song. I've also gotten caught up in the fun and gone home with a few nonsensical impulse buys, but that's one of the hazards of going. Don't go to one of the Thursday night auctions expecting Sotheby's. These are rapid-turnaround events held at the Maplewood American Legion Hall ... but just because the venue isn't tony doesn't mean there's nothing good for sale! The Masseys are honest, too, so if something is a reproduction, they will say so right from the outset, or if they aren't sure of the provenance of an item, they'll tell you that too. Come prepared, because the sales are cash- or check-only. You should go! You'll have a great time!

A signature drink was offered as well as beer, wine, seltzers and water. The staff is friendly and approachable but not pushy. Questions were answered without making you uncomfortable. We met and chatted with staff and other guests. The musical guest @ishensemble was really good! Great jazzy feel! It's always nice listening to live music when you can just tell that they are enjoying themselves while playing their music. While the bathrooms were in the common lobby and around the corner they were clean and nice. I would attend again.

Throw in some other random art and it really is a nice collection for the auction, something for everyone. Had a very nice charcuterie table and a good open bar selection. I thought the Handlebar custom cocktail was too gingery but they had a good selection of craft beers and some nice wines as well. Also saw Mayor Spencer looking around as well. Always enjoy exploring their art auctions and cocktail hours. Oh and the band @ishensemble was really good!

BEWARE!! Jessica Doerr of Doerr Auction Reality is a scam artist, she post vague listings with…read morepictures that are overly lite to hide imperfections in her items. If you ever have any issue with an item you buy from her of high value she will not give you any buyer protection. She hides behind fruadulant terms and conditions to disguise her misleading items she is selling on the HI-Bid platform. I would avoid doing business with her at all expense, beware again you have ZERO buyer protection with her auctions AVOID!!

They made me feel personally cared for during a very painful time. Better still, the auction yielded much more profit than I anticipated, despite a date change and terrible weather.

I wouldn't trust anyone else to handle a situation like mine with so much care.

This is a place that most people would say "What?"…read more On the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, Owensville Auction Co has a small animal and horse auction. It starts about 1:30, it is indoors but no AC. They do have fans blowing so it's not unbearable but the July August months are pretty warm. They sell things like chickens, peacocks, turkeys, rabbits, ducks, geese, pot belly pigs, pigeons, donkeys, and little misc items. You honestly never really know what they are going to have. After the small animal auction, they move outside and sell whatever someone brings that is to large to bring in like this week a guy brought a 2 ton grain bin. After that they start selling goats and sometimes some fruits and vegetables. Although I don't stay for the horses, I think they start selling tack at 5:30 and horses at 7:00 or something like that. My wife and i go all the time and although it sounds a little funny, we have a great time. This week we came home with a baby bunny and 15 baby ducks. It's great to live on a farm :)
