<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 152994, member: 88&quot;]I beg to differ. The auction house I work/attend every Friday night basically sells just about anything you could think about. I tell folks that you can find just about everything from some very fine antiques to items that you wonder why in the blue blazes someone would even want it in the first place. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>When Bill started his auction business 40+ years ago he took note that there were high end auctions, more or less flea market type auctions &amp; ones that catered to specialties. However there were none that were more or less middle of the road where you could buy nice furnishings for your home, dishes, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>He now has 2 auctions every week. The one on Tuesday is a walk around where he sells the majority of stuff by the table or shelf lots. He considers this a more or less flea market sale where he sells the run of the mill stuff &amp; furniture that needs some TLC. Friday night is the nicer furniture, the better decorative items, jewelry, silver, coins, paintings, prints, toys, books, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>His crowd is as varied as the stuff he sells. He of course has a good many dealers who sell everywhere from ebay to ones that own their own shops &amp; he also has a lot of folks who buy for themselves to furnish their own homes or add to their collections. Over the last 40+ years he has built up a HUGE following by being honest &amp; by having all types of stuff available. He also knows who to call when something special comes in to set up a real bidding war.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Specialty auctions can be a wonderful thing, but you are catering to a very select clientele &amp; I would think it would be very difficult to get enough items to hold a decent auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO &amp; my 2 cents worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Peggy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
