Surplus Inventory Liquidation

Auctions are often the fastest and most profitable way to liquidate part or all of your surplus inventory. The Auction Mill strives for top dollar for your equipment, parts, machinery, products and other fixtures that may need to be moved for any reason.  Our firm can either purchase these assets outright or sell them for you on consignment.

Estates & Antiques

For smaller estates, collections or households, we suggest a lump sum purchase or buy-out of the personal property by our firm, larger estates valued in excess of $20,000 may be best suited for a timed online auction, auction at our facility or an auction onsite at the house, warehouse or business.  All our auctions are marketed online to a targeted pool of buyers.

Our firm conducts a high quality antiques and advertising auction each quarter.  These auctions consist of rare memorabilia, vintage signs and advertising, coin-ops, militaria, vintage clothing, ephemera, sports memorabilia, coins, currency, silver and gold, early furniture, textiles and antiques.  Those who have followed us for years know these auctions by their title “Fresh to Market Antiques and Advertising Auction”.
