A New Day Auctions

How do you combine a love of buying, selling, and entertaining? Well Auctioneering of course!

We have a long history together starting when we met in high school. We got married much later, after college, in 1995 and have 2 boys. During all that time the collections grew and grew. Joshua was known as the person who wouldn't let you throw anything away and truly believes that one man's trash is another man's treasure! When we had to have 2 semi-trailers move us we realized we had a LOT of stuff. So after years of collecting toys and oddities we finally decided to start selling online with our Ebay business 2bitjunk if we had realized it's as much fun to sell as it is to collect we'd have started years ago. Then we were at a charity auction for Northern Voices and our friend Judd Grafe from Grafe Auctions was doing the auction and told Joshua that with his personality and experience he would be a great auctioneer. The seed was planted... within months we were in Mankato, MN in class at Continental Auctioneer School. One week after graduation we performed our first live auction for Table Tennis Minnesota at their annual banquet and A New Day Auctions LLC was officially in business!
