Dedicated to getting top dollar for our consigners!

Our Involvement:
We at Showtime Auction Services provide a professional an unbiased presence for all of our consigners. When we preview a collection, if we feel that we will not be able to get top dollar for a particular item(s), we will help our consigner find the best avenue and auction arena for those items. Our goal is to get all of our consigners the most money possible for one item or entire collections. When you deal with Showtime Auction Services, you deal with the owner/auctioneer. You do not deal with a so-called expert in their field. Lori and I will take the time to get to know you and understand your needs so we can best serve you.

Our Mode of Operation:
We are a hands-on Auction Company. Lori and I pick up the merchandise, clean it if necessary, photograph it, describe it, pack it for shipping to the auction site, unpack it and set it up for preview. As the auctioneer, I have handled the auction items at least 6 times before I get up on the stage to sell it. Therefore, unlike auctioneers that fly in the night before the auction, I know exactly what I am selling and can honestly reflect my knowledge of the items to the audience. We feel this alone will get at the very least an additional 20% hammer price for our consigners.
Our Marketing and Advertising Expertise:
I was in the Marketing and Advertising business from 1970 to 1997. Lori and I design all of the Trade Publication ads, flyers and catalogs for each of our auctions. We run a full color, full page ad in top 12 of the major Antique and Collectibles Trade Publications in the U.S. We also mail and distribute over 25,000 flyers 2 months prior to each auction and mail out over 1,000 catalogs 1 month prior to each auction. All of these components put together has helped us get between 300 and 400 people to our auctions as much as twice as many as our major competitors.
