PICKERS EXPRESS Timed Auction of Industrial, Scientific & Pop Culture Collectibles

Announcement! The return of EXPRESS AUCTIONS!

Ripley Auctions is excited to announce the return of our often requested Express Auctions offering an amazing collection in a new and thrilling timed auction format. These Online Express Auctions will be presented every 4 weeks and feature a fresh-to-the-market, single-owner estate of collectibles that inspire the thrill of the hunt and the promise of treasures yet unknown. The express cataloging and speed bidding of a timed format promise many opportunities for buyers that dig deep and explore this multi-year series of high volume, monthly auctions. Catalogs will constantly be online with lots added daily (this is Express Style) up to one week preceding the sale closing date. We are going to take items out of boxes and post them straight online. You will see them only moments after we see them!

This amazing collection is literally a BARN FIND! The owner was a collector and picker extraordinaire active through the early 2000s. He could be found searching the Northeast, scouring markets and auctions and setting up at Atlantic City, Brimfield, Renninger’s (you get my drift…) Expect to find rare examples of multiple genres including advertising, vacuum tubes, audio equipment, electric fans, electronics, scientific, pop culture, carnival items, Bakelite, vinyl records, ephemera, MCM design, and many more examples of random awesomeness of epic proportions. I am talking about over 120 TONS (literally, as Natalia says…) of pay dirt that we will process and prepare for bidding over the next 2 years at least. We cannot even understand how he collected and stashed so much cool stuff away! It promises to slay the nostalgic collector in you.

All items are sold without reserve, presale estimates, or detailed in-depth descriptions. Every item is sold as-is, with no returns or guarantees. Actual photos will be used of the items. Condition reports, additional photos or questions confirming quantities, dimensions, or additional details may not be available. Local pickup is available and preferred. Shipping and white glove services are available through our in-house logistics partner, Shipping Saint, by request.
