We’re excited to announce that our Open House sales are now in full swing! Over the past six weeks, you’ve joined us to view, browse, and bid—and the response has been fantastic.
Our new weekly timed sales format brings even more flexibility and excitement. You can now view items in person and bid online throughout the week. Viewing days are available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10am to 3pm, giving you plenty of time to explore the latest lots at your convenience.
For vendors, Open House offers a faster, more dynamic way to sell. With weekly sales, consignments can be listed and presented to buyers almost immediately. Because we accept consignments year-round and add new lots regularly, there’s always something fresh to discover.
Bidding opens every Tuesday at 6pm and closes the following Monday from 7pm, giving buyers a full week to participate. Find out more about how to bid in our timed online auctions here.

Come and see the items in person before you bid! Our public viewings are open ahead of each sale, giving you the opportunity to inspect items closely, ask questions, and experience the excitement firsthand.
We can’t wait to welcome you to our next Open House Sale. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting out, there’s never been a better time to get involved.
