Specialty collections, select items, and high dollar assets can be exposed on industry leading online auction sites for additional marketing exposure, absentee bidding, online only auctions, and live online bidding which combines the excitement of the live auction with the convenience of online bidding.

- The Rockford Auction Centre: Our 9,000sq.ft. auction facility was purposely built to ensure you receive the best results for your items.
