Buying Vintage Items, Collectibles & Estate Finds
The Next Chapter of Rivanna Auction Co.
First, I’d like to thank everyone who has supported Rivanna Auction Co. and trusted me with their auctions.
I’m now shifting my focus away from full estate and consignment auctions and toward what I enjoy most: discovering and purchasing vintage items, clothing, collectibles, and other interesting finds.
I’m especially interested in older homes, barns, garages, outbuildings, estates, and storage units where belongings have accumulated over the years. Exploring unsorted collections is my favorite part, so you don’t need to know what’s valuable or have everything sorted out. When it seems like a good fit, I’m happy to arrange a time to take a look and see what might be worth purchasing.
I’m also always interested in individual vintage items and collections of all kinds.
If you have something you’re considering selling, I’d love to hear from you!
