At all auctions, our staff will be implementing preventative measures including sanitizing workstations and common surfaces before and during any checkout or pickup times.  We ask that you follow CDC guidelines and remain home if you are experiencing symptoms.  We will be happy to work with you to complete any transactions or preview items.  Please do not bring non-essential persons to the auction preview, checkout, or pickup.
