This last weekend, Sis and I enjoyed the good weather and spent some time at Kims Korner Antique Auction, located in Richmond, Texas. Sunday, rubber plants, mid-century furniture, bone figurines, and a myriad of other items were sold in a three-hour time period. Here is a glimpse of what we saw:
You can find deals, but it helps to know a little bit about what you are after. So a little education goes a long way. They always have a preview period that begins a couple of hours before the auction starts where you can scrutinize the items that you are thinking of buying and ask questions. And if you call in advance, they will save you a seat.
Be aware that there is a buyer's premium that is added to what you are purchasing plus sales tax. So it is always wise to know your market and set price limits on the items you want to buy before the bidding starts, or you might get carried away.
Although we didn't buy anything, Sis and I had a lot of fun watching. If you are interested in going, first check out their website for posted pictures of future auctions and sign up for their newsletter. ~Sandy~
