If you want a really good antique auction this is the BEST I've found in the south eastern region!! 5-Stars!! read more

So much fun! Really TOP quality items for this particular auction! Interesting building, too (an old farmhouse). Cash, check & credit accepted w/ 5% off if you pay w/ cash or check. I highly recommend this auction house to anyone either looking for quality antiques or just wanting to check out an auction. Every item you see in the accompanying pictures was up for sale! Very old knives, swords, firearms (pistols, muskets, rifles from pre Civil War upward), armor, helmets, furniture, oriental rugs, paintings & prints by famous artisans (i.e. Dali & Rembrandt), Roseville pottery, Pairpoint Victorian brides bowls, glasswares, silver, 18th & 19th century clocks, Coca-Cola​ memorabelia (clocks & lights), fine jewelry, etc. were on the auction block. The majority of them came from two northern estates. Most offerings were primitives (16th century - 19th century... created prior to mass production) & most of those were from the 19th century. The beautiful property alone (acres of grassland) is worth a visit! Be sure to arrive earlier in the day of auction night to check out what will be auctioned at 6 PM; the place is open all day on so you can browse & jot down lot numbers. Register by 5 PM because bidders start early marking their chairs w/ makeshift scraps of paper. A program guide (aka a list of items being auctioned w/ their descriptions) will cost you $3. The downers: the auction room is NOT AIR-CONDITIONED. The fans aren't sufficient & they were turned on just 30 min prior to the start of the auction. (To keep temps down, though, there was a truck on the property selling ice cream & cold drinks:) Staff was also not as friendly as it should have been (they were rather disappointing); they also provided NO info on auction procedures, which would have been very helpful to this auction newbie. (Thankfully 2 friendly & experienced couples answered all of my questions.) This is a very good place to visit if you are in the market for QUALITY antiques. There is NO JUNK here. But you're forewarned: serious antique store owners occupy many of the rows on the auction floor, serious buyers are phoning in bids & bidding online during the live auction, the prices can go very high, & the auction can last 6+ hours. Checkout was fast & easy. There's a 15% Buyer's Premium (BP) charge on every item won; this covers administrative costs. You can grab a staffer (high school-aged kids) & s/he will assist w/ taking your purchases to your vehicle. Once you attend an auction at Turkey Creek, you'll be placed on the mailing list to get a heads up on the next auction date. If you've yet to participate in an auction, this particular one is WELL WORTH your patronage. However, if you want to "attend" online, you can bid from anywhere (providing your bid is over $100 & you pay a BP of 20%). Check out the online webpage to see what will be auctioned. The next auctions are July 14 (jewelry & coins only) & July 15, 2017. read more
