Preston Evans has dropped hints in the past that the next auction on his calendar would be his last, but there was always a longtime friend’s estate that needed liquidating, or a major consignor would beat a path to his door that he couldn’t turn away. Fate always conspired to keep him in the game, a game he’d been playing for decades. Only this time it’s different. The legendary Georgia-based auctioneer – who was featured on TV’s American Pickers and whose property is home to a veritable museum of rare and highly collectible items in a rainbow of categories – will finally sail off into retirement following one last hurrah: a two-day monster auction planned for October 10th and 11th at a former church building Evans owns in Macon, Georgia. “My motto has always been, ‘Where Rare is Common,’ and at no time will that be more true than in my farewell auction event,” Evans said. “My wife’s been after me to do this for years, and I finally gave in. It’s time for other folks to enjoy what I’ve been holding onto for a long, long time.” The venue is located at 8964 Thomaston Road in Macon, just off of Highway 74. To say the merchandise mix is eclectic would be a gross understatement. The more than 1,100 lots will include relics from MGM Studios dating to Hollywood’s Golden Age; movie posters from the 1930s and ‘40s; vintage cars and motorcycles; coin-ops and music machines (to include arcade games and jukeboxes); antique automatons; boat motors; carousel animals; and records. There will be a preview on Thursday, October 9th, from 3-7 pm Eastern Time, at the venue. Doors will open on auction days, October 10th and 11th, at 8am for previews and registration.
