Local Auction ~ Art of the Hunt

Incredible finds, wonderful experiences and good people can all be found at the Culpeper Auction Center located in Culpeper, Virginia! Make a date to attend one of the auctions ~ it will be well worth your time! You'll feel like you've stepped back in time when you enter this auction house. Plan on arriving early so that you can register to bid and peruse the items that will be coming up for bid. Once the bidding begins the cadence of the Auctioneer's "call" will draw you in and keep your attention as you watch him present the items up for bid. You will be amazed at the dollar amount that some items bring and the incredible deal captured by others. For example, where else could you purchase a round antique mahogany pedestal table for $35.00, a set of 4 Clore walnut ladderback rush bottom chairs in mint condition for $110 each, a double pedestal dropleaf Duncan Phyfe table for $70.00 and my own personal treasure a Smith American pump organ for $30.00?! Even though every one of the attendees has the potential to bid against you on the items that you want, there is a certain camraderie amongst the crowd. In addition to having a great time expect to learn a lot about collectibles as the "regulars" are generous with their knowledge. While you are enjoying the bidding, meeting some truly nice people, you can take care of your hunger with the delicious ham biscuits, chicken salad sandwiches, vegetable beef stew or incredible desserts available for sale. Save up your nickels (or dollars) and keep an eye on www.culpeperauction.com for upcoming auctions held at the Culpeper Auction Center which is located at 12282 Sperryville Pike, Culpeper, VA. See you there!!!!
