I became an auctioneer in 1972 and since that time I have auctioned Banks, Lumber Yards, Dept Stores, Hotel Restaurant and Janitorial Supply, Boats, Marinas, Grocery Stores, Farms, Farm Equipment, Personal Estates, Horses, Autos and just about anything you can think of to sell. Some of our most interesting auctions have been Mini Storage and Moving Companies. You just never know what you might find, most of the buyers consider it a treasure hunt and at times find considerable treasures. We have auctioned thousands of storage bins and hundreds of thousands of items and we still love it. I hope other auctioneers have as much fun calling bids as I do. Let our years of experience in selling estates and business liquidations be your source of information concerning your valuable assets.
Thanks To All

AUCTION ZIP FACE BOOK

This is a really good site to find auctions and what is selling

**************************************************************************************

This is an auction at Morningstar on Mt. Holly Rd.

This is an auction at Affordable in Newton

This is an auction we did in Monroe at Safe Haven Mini Storage and Pat McAfee who plays

with the Indianapolis Colts attended our sale while his crew was filming a TV special.

He bought several units and gave them away , back to the owner who was up for auction.

He was lots of fun and the crowd loved him.

Well, believe it or not this is Butch Evans receiving his auction certificate in 1972

from Col. Jim McLeod, instructor at Associated School Of Auctioneering of Ft. Worth Tx.

The school was taught in Lawton Ok. at the Hotel Lawtonian

Jim was a really good auctioneer and friend.

I returned to North Carolina in 1976 and received North Carolina Auction Lic. # 1195.

and South Carolina Lic #1088 . After a few years, I felt like I needed additional

instruction and a refresher class. I attended the Mendenhall School of Auctioneering

in High Point, N.C. in 1979

What a difference 7 years can make, Look at that hair.

Graduating Class of Nov. 1979

Well known and not forgotten auctioneer Bob Lilly was a graduate of this class. Before

Bob passed away he built a highly successful auction business in Indian Trail, that is

now under the watchful eye of his son Jed Lilly who is carrying out the family tradition.

The auction business has been competive and lots of fun. It is important to do

something that you love to do on a daily basis. I used to drive to Columbia on

Saturday night to sell cars at the car auction and I would get home around

12:00 or 1:00 in the morning, just to get exp[erience. I didn't get paid but the experience

was worth more than the money would have been . Since I have been in the auction

business I have not had a day of my life that I hated to get up and go to work, there

have been days, that depending on what I made, I should have stayed in bed.... We just

laughed and figured, there would be another day and we wouild try to make it a better

one. All in all, the years have been good for all of us. I am thankful for all of those

people who helped me along the way and to the thousands of people who were

bidders at our sales. Most of all for the man above for giving us another day to call bids.

Thanks To All

HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU

Butch Evans
