From BID RUSH:

We’d like to thank our partners who have switched to BidRush to lower fees for their clients, create new revenue for their businesses and gain greater control over their auctions. Please forward this newsletter to anyone you think who should be on BidRush, so they can see why everyone is switching.

A special shoutout to Jason and Jenna of LifecyclePro, who just completed their 17th BidRush auction, which generated USD $18,788, and Robin Abb of The Downsizing Doula, who is already on her 36th auction in just eight months since switching to BidRush!

You will see my current auctions that are live.

In addition to the auctions you can see that are ready to go, we have two more that will be ready in a few days and one of them is a doozy for contractors! I'm anticipating a pickup for 4-5 auctions on Saturday Aug. 8th!! How does she do it? My fantastic Team!

Man, two auction pick ups this weekend....one in a 5 story Victorian on Water St. in downtown Port Townsend. 27 steps up with no elevator!! I had 9 people working with me, including 4 strong men who brought EVERYTHING down to the sidewalk. It was something to observe!

Now, I have 4 FOUR Auctions that are currently LIVE! 1 in Port Ludlow, 1 in Sequim, and 1 in Port Townsend that all end in 3 days. all have their pickups in staggered times on Saturday, the 6th. And a new auction that JUST went live in Port Townsend, in a storage unit that contained the estate of a woman who was an accomplished artist and used to own an antique store in Carmel.
