 An Overview of the Personal Property /
Consignment Auction Process:

Adam’s Auctions offers options to handle the auction and sale of personal property, equipment, property contents,
excess inventory, vehicles and
any other ‘non’ real estate-related items.

We pride ourselves in being a
“One Stop” provider for many clients,
as we are equipped to handle the auction
and sale of both the real estate and the contents of the property.

We are one of very few companies capable of offering this “One Stop” service.

Personal Property can be auctioned in two ways:

  1. On-Site Auction
  2. Our Multiple Estate and Public Consignment Auction

On-Site auctions are deemed appropriate in certain situations such as
business liquidations, equipment auctions, large estates and other situations,
as determined by auction company staff.   Terms for on-site auctions are
determined on a case-by-case basis, as on-site auctions vary greatly in
content, type, location and degree of involvement needed by auction company.

Multiple Estate and Consignment Auction -Adam’s Auctions holds one
 of the Midwest’s largest multiple estate and consignment auctions on a monthly basis.

Highlights of Consignment Auction are as follows:

  • Buyers from all over the Midwest attend with
    routine crowds of up to 1,000 people.
  • Multi-ring auction, with 3-5 rings going at all times.
  • Items offered from multiple estates, as well as items brought in
    by the public.
  • Adam’s offers a ‘pick up’ service to clients and the public can bring
