reetings from Avoca, New York where we are looking forward to the closing of our First Wednesday Antique Tool Auction for April, which will begin closing at 7:01 PM tonight. Please bring plenty of popcorn and sit back and enjoy America's Great New Spectator Sport. However, unlike events held in stadiums and other venues, spectators can participate without any limit on the amount one can purchase. Please note that the dates for our May and July Auctions have changed as follows: The May Auctions will end on Tuesday, May 13th and Wednesday, May 14th, 2025 and our Online Auctions for July will be Tuesday, July 15th and Wednesday, July 16th, 2025. Our July 16 sale will feature nearly 50 early European anvils which can be shipped by truck or picked up here. We will be adding photos as we proceed. 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 April fully loaded and bidding is now underway. You can view the auction and enter bids beginning now and continuing until April 1 & April 2, 2025. 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.
