Many people acquire or inherit personal property that they aren't sure exactly what to do with, and don't really have solid enough understanding of antiques to know if it has much value. Lets face it, the real value of anything is the amount that someone is willing to pay for it. This is what makes auction the first choice for selling everything from museum quality antiques to common household estates. It is also what makes the auctioneer such a valuable source for appraisal. Auctioneers aren't schooled in the value of fine art, they're knowledge comes from being the conduit that moves the fine art from the seller to the buyer. Moreover, auctioneers observe fluctuation in market conditions, as well as changes in regional and national pricing. All of this makes auctioneers the single most reliable source for appraising your estate or collection, as well as provide you with a source to sell it in a competitive environment.

in a fashion that makes the most sense for our customers. For example, a 18th century oil on canvas painting probably wouldn't sell for the most amount of money if the auctioneer chose to sell it at a tractor sale! It sounds funny but it happens. Rick Hogue Auctions are planned to sell your items in a sale that will draw a specific customer in order to get you the most money. Once your items are designated to sell, we go to work with nearly 20 years of advertising and marketing to generate the buyers who will ultimately purchase your consignment. We advertise specific items in specific medias and utilize this web sight as a point of reference for every sale. Specifically, fine antiques and important consignments are always listed on this sight well in advance of the sale, accompanied with pictures and descriptions.
