G
reetings from Avoca, New York, where we have our October Auctions loaded and ready to view. We have been busy for the last six weeks adding great items to these sales and our Fall and Winter auctions and we are looking forward to great auctions for the balance of 2026 and through 2027. We will have 501 Lots ending on October 6th and another 401 Lots ending on October 7th. Follow the links below to view the items in the auction. Today's Photo Montage begins shows some of the many great tools that will be sold on October 7th. The second photo shows Our Founder presenting a check to Quincy, Massachusetts auctioneer, the late Richard "Dick" Pompeo in 2013. Dick Pompeo was famous for providing free coffee and donuts to those attending his auctions, which were held in the vicinity of South Boston. When Dick Pompeo hung up the gavel for the last time, we jumped at the opportunity to purchase the franchise so as to provide free coffee and donuts at all of our auctions. Other auctioneers attempted to follow suit, but our crack legal team made certain that our rights to the franchise were not in any way violated. The best part of all of this is to have lived among legends. If you are not currently registered to bid in our auctions, you can register to bid by clicking HERE. We have the First Tuesday and First Wednesday Auctions for October fully loaded and bidding is now underway. You can view the auction and enter bids beginning now and continuing until October 6, 2026 & October 7, 2026. On the last day of the sale, two lots will close and be marked as sold each minute beginning at 7:01 P.M. on each ending day and continuing until all are sold. Bidding will be open on both auctions until bidding closes as the lots begin selling at 7:01 PM on each night of the sale. You can keep bidding until the item is marked as sold. In the event that there is an increase in the bid in the last two minutes before an items sells, it will be extended for two minutes, unless the high bid amount increases again, at which point it will extend for another two minutes. To view the items in the First Tuesday Online Only Antique Tool Auction which will end on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 beginning at 7:01 PM, just click HERE. To view the items in the First Wednesday Online Only Antique Tool Auction which will end on Wednesday, October 7, 2026 beginning at 7:01 PM, just click HERE.
