G
reetings from Avoca, New York, where we are looking forward to the culmination of our October auctions just one week from today. 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 next photo shows the "Auction That Almost Wasn't". Our July Sale in 2010 was about 1 1/2 hours from the starting time when the electric service in the warehouse and our residence both totally lost electric power as a consequence of a failed transformer. Both have separate electric panels, supplied from the same transformer. The office building, which takes its power from a different transformer, was not affected. The power company promised to come as quickly as possible to replace the transformer, but we had an auction to conduct. Acting quickly, we moved the computer server to the office building, ran wires to support the auction to the large display tent 100 yards away from the original location, moved all of the chairs and rearranged them with reserved seat signs intact, loaded all of the tools for the first day of the sale onto movable carts, advised the crowd of the circumstances, got everyone seated on a lovely, sunny July day and started the auction exactly on time with large televisions in the front of the crowd to show what item was selling. As the auction was proceeding, the utility truck came and installed a new transformer on the pole. By the time the sale was finished, the power was restored. We then moved all of the chairs back to where they had started the day, and began the auction the following morning exactly on time. 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.
