Auction Preparation & Setup

We perform many duties in the course of selling your property: we advertise in newspapers, online classified advertising websites (i.e. Kijiji, Castanet), Facebook Marketplace as well as through our App (App Store, Google Play).  We also take special care in setting up the merchandise for advance viewing, register bidders and co-ordinate absentee bids.

We sell quality merchandise in our auctions so if you want top dollar for your items please ensure your items are cleaned and in good working order and has all the parts available.  We take care of the rest.  You can consign your items to be sold at auction for a % fee, or you can ask us about a buy out of your items.

Evaluation of your items

Evaluation Requests may be made at any time, by appointment, if you need some idea of the Market Value of your property. We will send a member of our staff to your location, usually at no cost, and they will then give you an estimate of what you could expect to earn at an auction. They can also give you a buy out figure.

Best times to bring in your items

Bring your items in yourself Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 4:30 and on Saturdays from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Our goal is to advertise all major items in the sale and we cannot advertise anything that we do not have on site.
