The newly-formed Auctions America by RM has generated tremendous momentum in the final days leading up its inaugural Auburn Fall Collector Car Auction scheduled for September 2 - 5, 2010.
The sale will be held at the 235-acre Auburn Auction Park RM acquired on July 1, 2010 and has since upgraded. With an incredible 1,000 motor cars currently scheduled to cross the auction podium, RM's online catalog is still showing quite a few cars lacking photos and details.
The auction will kick off at 10:00 am daily, beginning with memorabilia and followed closely by collector cars and motorcycles. On both Friday and Saturday, the arena will be hopping with two simultaneous auction rings. In addition, a swap meet will have 700 reserved spaces and the car corral is expecting around 250 vehicles on offer - the entire park will be buzzing with activity.
For those unable to attend the auction in person, it will stream live on the Internet at www.rmauctions.com. Remote bidding options include online, telephone and absentee. To view a regularly updated consignment list, visit Auctions America by RM.
