What doesn’t do well in our auctions…”cleaning out the attic”

This is our 5th annual online auction, and we’ve learned that some items don’t tend to do well in our auctions, especially the “attic clean-out” variety!

So please no china sets, figurines, used jewelry, clothing accessories, etc.  If in doubt, or if you have something you think is an exception to the rule, please reach out to our auction coordinator, Linda Shoemaker at [email protected].
