AUCTIONEERS NOTE: I will be adding pictures to the gallery up until 1 week prior to the sale, and more specific listings or descriptions. Approaching 50 years doing auctions and growing  up with technology from reel-reel tape recorders to voice activated environments, I  thought I was fairly well versed in audio-visual technology; that is before we started moving things from Bob's home. I have never seen a more coordinated musical environment with higher quality sound equipment. I also researched  the 2 Analog speaker columns I found wrapped carefully in the garage (not in use) and was surprised at their scarcity and the asking price.  Also, I might add for the record: "The King bedroom suite is a "Dandy!"    

TERMS OF SALE: Cash, Check with good I.D., or Major Credit Card.

 AUCTIONEERS: Jim Buck WV# 271, Lowell Goff WV#330, & Emmit Allen WV#1038

AUCTION UPDATE:

I labeled most of the pictures for this sale, so instead of more specific listing, I am adding some comments that may be helpful. I featured the King Bedroom suite, but in addition be sure to check-out the 5 pc Queen French provencial Bedroom Suite. It is in very good condition and would enhance any bedroom. We have yet a third bed (California King) sized in between the King & queen. It is in excellent condition and has a 2 part folding frame that is easy to set up anywhere. I can't say enough for the Sterophonic equipment. It is vintage and contemporary, and there is a bunch of it mostly top quality. The Onkyo 2 channel Home Theater receivers have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Chromecast built in. We left the cables plugged in the back (pictured in the Gallery), and  I would estimate the cables alone as a $75-$100.00 value. There is so much in this sale that we will be selling many items in large lots all the Board Games on the shelf, and the mass of cleaning and pest control products by the large box load. The Snow Blower is both Electric and Manual (pull) start. The Ryobi 40 volt lawnmower doesn't have the battery in the Mower case.we assumed the client keptout of the mower on the charger but we could'nt find it. The battery and charger for this machine sell for $70.00. The mower new sells for $699.95 so there is a lot of room for someone to get a good deal. These machines run ultra quiet and they cut well.. The "Three Bears" tree sculpers (probably done with a chain saw) are interesting works of Mountain Art, and the Turtle & Frogs are solid concrete so if you run over one with your car the only damage will be Ti-Rod ends for the car. The hand painted Vintage lamps (beautiful) are very likely by Fenton Art Glass painters because Fenton made many items for Si Wright art glass in New Martinsville from his own molds. The framed Budweiser swamp pictures with the Alligator and frogs are "Limited Editions with certifications on the back of the pictures. I don't know the age of the Samsung Heavy Duty washer & dryer but they look almost new. They will be sold as a matching pair. The "Fender Harmonics" guitars are wired for the X Box 360 Stratocaster rock band guitar game. I could go on, and on with descriptions of items but will instead use the "time honored" or worn-out expression "Something for Everyone" in this sale including 2 "top of the line" Studio Pianos (Baldwin & Story-Clark) which I cannot believe are still in-tune after being moved......but they are.
