Massive Tool Collection Auction!!!!!! Henderson, NY
« on: August 03, 2017, 07:08:02 AM »
Just checking a different auction by Brzostek's when I spotted this one - "Fantastic Lifelong Antique Tool Collection Auction".  You must view the photos if nothing else!  88 photos of walls full of all types of tools, woodworking and mechanical tools.  No furniture, no ceramics, no baby toys - just tools.
Henderson NY is about an hour north of Syracuse.  Link and a couple teaser photos.

I might suggest you read the auctioneer's reviews on facebook. I'd suggest other places but that is the only place people have left reviews of his practices. 

https://www.facebook.com/pg/BernieBrzostek/reviews/?ref=page_internal

I've been to a few of his auctions, and one of these times I am going to remember to record part of it. Hard to believe he has been in business for as long as he has the way he treats people.

The reviews look mixed to me.  Some good; some not so good.
But he is still in bidness, so....
The ORIGINAL Northwoods.

My complaint with Bernie's auctions has more to do with the attendees.  People will take something valuable from one lot and place it in a "junk" lot hoping to get it cheap.  The auctions are as fast as Bernie can get his people to display them, he wants to get home for dinner.  I hope I can get rid of most of my stuff before I croak, so it doesn't have to suffer the indignity of an auction. 
That being said, I would attend this auction but I have a motorcycle meet that day that I really enjoy (AMCA Brookfield).
