the Next Leg of Your Journey
We are a small (but mighty) family-run company, and third-generation antique hoarders dealers.
This our passion...It all started with a CLOCK 35 years ago! We love what we do and will ALWAYS go above and beyond for your family, because we have been there too, and we understand.
Moving or downsizing? Perhaps lost a loved one?
We are sorry for your loss and want to help. You'll find that we treat our clients like family, but are professional, transparent and highly organized.
Feeling paralyzed by the clutter in your home?
Attics and basements sometimes hold treasure. Storage units are 'found money!' Let us help you liquidate what you don't need--
we take a pile and make it an attractive catalog. Our online auctions are efficient, well-researched, and well-attended. [We can also host an in-person event, instead of a virtual auction, if you prefer.]
Consultations are always free. No out-of-pocket costs, simple percentage-of-sale pricing.
Our staging gets optimal results...increased profits benefits all.

1) Do you offer a Free consultation?
Answer: Of course! Let us know when we can see your treasure.
2) What is the cost for your services?
Answer: There are no up-front costs, but instead, a percentage of the sales, based on the services your select:
estate sale, broom-swept clean-out, or consignment sale. Our rates are the most competitive in the marketplace.
3) How do you determine the prices?
Answer: We use an 'Absolute Auction' format, where every item starts out at $1. It may sound counter-intuitive, however, experience has shown that this method garners the most interest and action, in the end. Instead of a reserve price auction, or closed bid auction, Absolute auctions are a method in which the highest bidder wins regardless of their offer. There is no reserve price or minimum bid in this kind of auction, and it sells the most items in a finite auction scenario.
It might sound risky, but for people selling something in high demand, it’s a great way to get the highest price for your item. Buyers are also more likely to bid in this type of auction because they know that if they offer the highest bid, they’ll be able to purchase the item. Often, the item will be 'watched' by a number of bidders, but will see no action until the last hours of the sale, and then the action begins. Competitive bidding will drive up the price and secure a higher final bid than selling 'on-location,' and traditional routes, and our widely varied auction audiences have proven this time and time again. Our auction platform also has an "auto-extend" sales function to get the maximum bids if the last minutes are hot, and safeguards against sniping.
4) What about security, with people in our home?
Answer: No one will be in your home but our staff, and this is our promise. Furthermore, we are a registered LLC business and fully insured, for utmost peace of mind. Pick-ups are managed with a limited-time appointment calendar for the best quality control and civility.
5) How long does all this take?
It depends on a number of factors, but once you tell us to "GO," the whole operation can be completed in about two weeks. No surprises, a check in hand, and one less thing for you to worry about. Anchors Away, to the start of your next journey!
