OUR SERVICES

Our company offers complete auction services, for estates, collections and personal property for individuals, heirs, executors, other legal representatives and commercial clients.

ADVERTISING AND MARKETING

We use fully cataloged, live auctions and list our sales on Invaluable.com and Auctionzip.com, reaching thousands of bidders and allowing real-time Internet bidding. So, although we’re based in Indianapolis, Indiana we serve consignors and reach bidders around the world. Antique Helper also offers eBay drop-off services. We use targeted print advertising in International trade papers to reach traditional markets. Our email and mailing lists notify thousands of active buyers each sale.

Nationwide Collection Services

Ripley Auctions serves clients on a national level. We can make arrangements to transport estates and collections to our gallery.
