Often times people are confronted with situations which tend to overwhelm them, be it a move, a death, leaving an entire house contents to disposed of or simply the need to downsize. Unsure of what to do or how to go about it? Well that’s what we do best @ M.J. Stasak Antiques & Auction Service. With over 45 years experience in the estate liquidation business and 3 auctioneers on hand, we find and implement the best solution to fit your needs from conducting on-site auctions estate tag sales, contents buyouts, and online auctions. We are a full-service auction company.

We’re not limited to just houses ~ we do farm, equipment, livestock, automobiles, machinery, businesses, etc. Basically, we can sell the earth and everything on it!
Over the years we have serviced the needs of disposing of personal and real property for many law firms, county surrogates and you, the client.
Types of Sales:
1. On-site auctions is usually the best method. Again, this can be conducted on the premises or removed and sold elsewhere. We find you realize the most money from selling “on site.” We also realize there are circumstances that may not warrant this, so we find the solution that best suits you.
2. For the situations that, for some reason don’t warrant having an “on-site” auction, (e.i, parking restrictions, privacy matters, etc.), our “on-line auction” format has proven to be very successful. This approach basically allows the entire country/world to view and bid at auction via the internet. The items are numbered, photographed and displayed “on-line” for a minimum of one full week, and sell to the highest bidder. The successful buyer is responsible for pick-up and/or shipment of the item, as with the on-site auctions, these sales run on a commission basis, the amount of which is determined and set by the auctioneer.
3. Estate tag sales, in situations that don’t warrant an on-site auction, a “tag sale” is usually recommended. A good percentage of the items always sell. For the items that don’t, we offer a “clean out” service which will take all of the work, worry, and responsibility off of you. Basically, the house and/or buildings are set up, the items priced, the sale advertised and staffed by us for a percentage of the sale. No two sales are ever the same, so commission/percentage is negotiable.
We gladly come to you, free of charge, no strings attached to view your items/situation with absolutely no pressure from us on conducting a sale.
