The Founders and Owners of Showtime Auctions are Mike Eckles,The Auctioneer, and Lori Eckles, Chief Operating Officer and we personally deal with all inquiries and services with the auction. Showtime Auction Services provide a professional an unbiased presence for all of our consigners. When we preview a collection, if we feel that we will not be able to get top dollar for a particular item(s), we will help our consigner find the best avenue and auction arena for those items. Our goal is to get all of our consigners the most money possible for one item or entire collections. When you deal with Showtime Auction Services, you deal with the owner/auctioneer. You do not deal with a so-called expert in their field. We are a hands-on Auction Company. we pick up the merchandise, clean it if necessary, photograph it, describe it, pack it for shipping to the auction site, unpack it and set it up for preview. Trade Publication ads, flyers and catalogs for each of our auctions. We run a full color, full page ad in top 12 of the major Antique and Collectibles Trade Publications in the U.S. We also mail and distribute over 25,000 flyers 2 months prior to each auction and mail out over 1,000 catalogs 1 month prior to each auction.
