“Our auction will be a different twist compared to most,” said DLP Auction Services’ Shawn Downing. “We will have new liquidated merchandise including household items, electronics, fishing poles, toys and a wide variety of other items. The other half will be the typical used goods you find at auctions from antiques, collectibles, furniture, tools and more. On top of the auction, we will also sell liquidation pallets.”
Downing and his fiancé, Megan Basham are excited about the new energy they will bring to the Granite City auction house.
For those who do not know where the auction location will be, it is directly across from the U.S. Steel mill, Downing said.
“We are going to be hosting a 50-50 raffle auction each week,” Downing said. “Half of what people are spending on the raffle will go to a different charity. That is the whole goal, to be a part of the community.”
