Over the years I have attended thousands of auctions. First as a young boy with my Father in the 1950's. As a teenager during the 1960's I would buy box lots containing watches. Generally not paying more than 10 cents for any of these boxes containing several wristwatches. My first memory of bidding on a piece of antique furniture was when I was about 16 years old. I bid 25 cents on a nice Hoosier cabinet in varnish. However after bidding I experienced my first taste of buyer's remorse! In my heart I knew my that my Dad was not going to be happy with me as we only had our car to haul the kitchen cabinet home with. Luckily after what seemed like an eternity someone else bid. Wow I was of the hook though as I now look back to those simpler times. What a truly great buy getting that Hoosier cabinet at auction for 25 cents would have been!

I guess I have recycled furniture for much of my life without even thinking about the benifits. During in the early 1970's I started buying antique furniture in earnest. Attending as many local estate auctions as possible in search of antique oak furniture. At that time there were several antique dealers from California who hauled semi tractor trailer loads of "Turn of the Century" oak from Ohio to California on a monthly basis. Once in California this antique oak furniture would be sold either at antique auctions or at local antique shops.

In late 1995 I started buying and hauling antique furniture to Georgia. This antique furniture was sold at metro Atlanta antique auctions. Since 1995 I have be responsible for quite possibly over 50,000 pieces of furniture being recycled into the Atlanta, Georgia marketplace. This antique furniture consisted of both bedroom furniture and dining room furniture. Plus many other pieces of elegant furniture that now decorate North Georgia homes.

Today I am excited to announce that I will be holding monthly antique auctions on the 4th Saturday of each month. My antique auctions will be held at 129S Antiques & More Auction which is located south of Cleveland, Georgia. Each antique auction will contain fine china, glassware, primitives and of course lots of great antique furniture.
