Hi everyone,

I hope you are having a relaxing and productive June. We've been active and wanted to share a couple of items that might interest you.

First, a nice auction will be planned for July, with a lovely assortment of hand and power tools.

And second, I wanted to let you know about a new project we're working on; it's a new page on the Idaho Surplus Auctions website called ‘Other Idaho Auctions.'

As the name implies, it is a list of Idaho (and related to Idaho) auction websites. It's a work in progress, but you can see it here.

This feature is intended to develop into a comprehensive guide in one place that serves as a convenient and helpful resource (as well as shamelessly drives more traffic to our website and auctions).

And on top of all, this growing, not-yet-completed guide to Idaho Auctions Near Me is entirely free.

Let me ask for your help. Please let us know if you know of an auction house not mentioned here. Use the contact form on the website to let us know about other websites that may have cool stuff to offer.

If you're an auctioneer or estate sale service, please send me a message telling me who you are and what you do; I'd love to include you on the list. But, again, there is no cost or obligation whatsoever – we just want to provide an excellent resource to all.

We'll see how all this pans out based on feedback and interest.

Best of luck, and thanks for your continuing patronage.
