The findings point to a distinct structural challenge in the market. While digital bidding has expanded market access, the underlying software infrastructure frequently imposes high operational and financial burdens on independent auction houses. Fragmented software silos, data-sharing friction, and compounding transaction fees continue to complicate standard operations.

The root of this challenge stems from a fundamental structural difference between traditional e-commerce and auction logistics. E-commerce models are relatively straightforward: businesses sell owned inventory with low SKU variation but high quantities, making automation easy. They require coordination between only two primary parties: the seller and the buyer.

Auctions, by contrast, deal with thousands of distinct lots, each with a quantity of one. This transforms digital automation into a complex administrative process. The ecosystem requires continuous synchronization among mul... Read More

DAVENPORT, Wash. – Grant Zahajko Auctions will bid a fond farewell to its longtime home in Davenport with a Sports Cards & Memorabilia, Comic Books, Autographs + Collectibles auction on Wednesday, August 12^th, online and live at the gallery. After that the company will relocate to Mesquite, Nevada this fall.

Grant Zahjkjo Auctions has enjoyed a fine working relationship with the city of Davenport and the auction-going citizenry since its founding in 2016. The firm was attracted to the city's small-town lifestyle, friendly people, affordability as a startup and its proximity to the international airport, since owners Grant and Gina Zahajko often travel the country, picking up consignments.

But a move to Mesquite made good business sense for several reasons. "It will allow us to reduce operational costs so we can keep our prices competitive for our customers," said Gina, who oversees the operational side of the business. "A larger community positions us better for the growth we're experiencing. A... Read More

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, curious minds and collectors of the marvellous — roll up, roll up and gather close. The auction spectacle of the season is about to begin.

Now in its ninth year, Sworders' Out of the Ordinary sale returns on August 18. Beneath our imaginary big top, the curious, the uncanny and the extraordinary take centre stage, offering a celebration of objects that sit far beyond the bounds of the everyday. It's the place to find a cavalcade of curiosities: a witch's ball, an iron maiden, a mahogany cased vampire slaying kit or a George I memento mori ring.

Much interest is circling around a rare eyewitness UFO account from the early days of the modern ‘flying saucer' phenomenon. Written in Durban soon after the sighting on March 8, 1953, the author Barbara Graves carefully records the weather conditions, appearance of the object, and its unusual movements across the sky.

She told her correspondent, Muriel Armfield, of Chertsey, Surrey: 'I hope you don't think I've taken to the bottle when I tell you that on Sunday, Tom and I saw a Flying Saucer over Durban. We were taking photographs in the Botanical Gardens when I spied a ro... Read More

[SHELBYVILLE, Ky. - July 6, 2026] - One of the most comprehensive collections of personal Colonel Harland Sanders memorabilia ever brought to public auction will be available to collectors, historians, entrepreneurs, and fans on July 28, 2026, at Claudia Sanders Restaurant in Shelbyville, Ky.

Many of the artifacts originate from Blackwood Hall, the longtime home of Colonel and Claudia Sanders, where the couple lived for approximately 25 years. Franchise owners from around the world traveled to Shelbyville to learn directly from Sanders, often gathering at Blackwood Hall to study the cooking techniques, hospitality standards, and business practices that helped build one of the world's most recognizable restaurant brands. The artifacts have been preserved by the Settle family, who purchased both Blackwood Hall and the Claudia Sanders Dinner House directly from Colonel and Claudia Sanders in 1974. That uninterrupted chain of ownership makes the collection exceptionally rare and provides a level of provenance seldom available in the memorabilia market.

For the first time, the personal collection preserved by the Settle family will be offered at auction on the very property ... Read More
