I don't think I would want to sell here seems there's too many auctions going on at one time to get top dollar.

I never had a lot of money, but that didn't hold me back, I bought carefully. I found a few auction companies on Yelp and contacted them. One stood out from the beginning, Salem Auction House. I trusted Jake from the first telephone call, I don't know why, but he has the kind of enthusiasm that I have for unusual items and furniture. His good character was apparent from our first meeting. He drove up from Salem, packed my items in the truck and charged a nominal fee for that service. We were moving, and we don't drive, so that was a huge load off of my mind. Everything was handled by Jake, he scheduled the auction, advertised it and put the entire process online to witness. I'll admit, I didn't pay close attention, but to put it mildly, it was (for me) an unexpectedly successful auction, far in excess of my expectations. Looking at the prices being paid was gratifying. I love Oregon, but people are very tight with money, if you try to sell things yourself it is both difficult and depressing. Somehow Jake and Salem Auction House have the right clientele. They appreciated my items, bought them because they liked my taste, and bought so enthusiastically that I know that they will be loved as much as I always have. That was important to me. Jake was as excited as I was, the itemized list accompanied a check within a week or so. I can highly and wholeheartedly recommend Salem Auction House!

If you're at all into browsing around antique shops, put this adorable city on your radar - even…read morethe city itself is an antique, having been founded in the late 1800s as a religious commune. It's super cute and historical - complete with its own walking tour! Aurora is a hidden gem - and is less 30 minutes south of Portland! The city is pretty small so it's definitely doable as a day trip depending on how long you want to spend antique-hunting. I've never seen so many antique stores in one place - there are at least 10 within walking distance, and a lot more if you include the ones outside of the quaint little Main Street area. PRO TIP: don't visit on a Monday though - as tons of the shops and restaurants are closed oddly enough. The city centers around historical Main Street which is pleasantly walkable and offers clean public restrooms and picnic tables to take a break on. It also offers a really interesting self-guided walking tour of the historic buildings and town called the "Emma Walk" and you can find it online here: https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2013R1/Downloads/FloorLetter/460 Another little fun fact - Aurora is the home of Life Flight - the largest nonprofit air ambulance company in the country - who knew?!! There are lots of cute boutique hotels and restaurants in the area - as well as major chains in nearby Wilsonville if that's your thing. Every summer they have a fun festival called Colony Days. The town is easy to find - right off I-5. And there's lots of public parking in the Main Street area. Aurora is really a true hidden gem - I'd never heard of it and only stumbled upon it after digging around on Google looking for a fun place to stay on my way out of Oregon that's close enough to PDX but not inside the city lol. Definitely worth a day trip!
