Austin Auction Co

I love auctions, however it is very hard to win anything here at a reasonable price. Most of the time the furniture dealer's buy everything.

They usually have very high end pieces which will follow a theme for the auction, say for example India, China, glassware, etc. If you are looking for a "Country Auction" where you can buy a lot of boxed lots,etc. this is not the place. If you are willing to shell out big bucks for antique furniture, this is the place for you. Even though we don't buy anything, it is fun to see how much stuff will go for.

They charge a 10% buyers premium on everything you buy. They also sell refreshments. Oh, if you want to get a seat make sure you call ahead an reserve them or you WILL be standing.

PROS: High End Furniture
CONS: No Boxed Lots, Dealers Frequent
