Mike turned 65 in July of 2024 and he had a shoulder surgery two years ago after a fall left him with a torn rotator. The bottom line is, he is not getting any younger or any better looking.
Sadly our 20th Annual Humboldt Iowa sale will be our last in that little city that has been like a home away from home every May for the past 20 years. We are deeply indebted to the Witzel Family, the Rusty Farrington family, the Fairgrounds Manager, the staff at the AnmericInn Hotel, the 4H girls and their mothers, and the owners of all the fine restaurants in Humboldt, Dakota City, Fort Dodge and Thor.
The EAIA has reached out and asked us to put together an auction to be held during their 2025 Annual Meeting in Rochester New York. How could be say no.
If you scroll down you can see all the dates we have hammered out for the 2025 Season. We thank all of you for your support in this past year and wish you all a happy and healthy year in 2025. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

DO YOU HAVE ANTIQUE TOOLS, GUNS, ANTIQUE KITCHEN GADGETS, SURVEYING INSTRUMENTS; FARM PRIMITIVES OR RELATED ANTIQUES FOR SALE? CONTACT
MIKE@GREATPLANESTRADING.COM ABOUT SCHEDULING AN AUCTION OR ADDING YOUR
ITEMS TO AN ALREADY SCHEDULED AUCTION. ALL INQUIRIES WILL BE HELD IN
STRICT CONFIDENCE.
A 15 percent buyers premium is now charged at our tool sales unless otherwise advertised by us. We do not like having to charge it, but it had been at 10 and 12 percent for 15 years while our competition was charging 15 to 20 percent or more.
We use the buyers premium we collect to offset the ever-increasing costs (fuel, hotels, advertising, hall rental, vehicles like trucks and trailers) associated with putting our sales together. By not having to pass all these costs onto our consigners, we are able to attract better consignments and offer competitive rates.
