Company Info
In 1985 Basinger Auction Service was born. Starting out in the home of Paul and Sandy Basinger, our family run business quickly grew and in 1987 we purchased a building in Lowellville, Ohio and held our auctions there for 2 years.  Since then, we have expanded rapidly and have outgrown each facility since then.
In December of 1995 we purchased the old Truck Stops of America in North Lima, Ohio – a 30,000 sq ft building which housed our main office, moving trucks, mobile office vehicles and storage of items for upcoming auctions. After much remodeling and updating, our 8,000 square foot auction center held many antique and collectible auctions, vehicle auctions and household auctions. We now have 2 auction facilities. Our main auction gallery is the former Calla-Mar Manor located at 9983 Market St. North Lima, OH. We have a secondary location at 10766 Market St., North Lima – which is typically for more tools and lawn/garden items or industrial equipment, but also serves as an over-flow location if we have multiple estates that we are settling.
We’ve traveled coast to coast selling out oriental rug stores. One of our largest grossing 2-day oriental rug auctions was in Philadelphia, PA.  With the inside of the store packed with people inside and people standing outside in freezing temperatures bidding through the showroom windows, the sale grossed $750,000!!!
In December, 2004 we conducted our largest grossing rug/furniture auction to date – a 5-day oriental rug and furniture liquidation in Pleasant Hills, CA that grossed $1.3 million.  We obtained this auction through recommendations of individuals and businesses that we have worked for in the past.
In March of 1998 we bought out K.F. Kepner Auctioneers in Hartford, Ohio.  Between the auctions booked at our central office and the auctions booked through our Hartford office, we now average about 300 auctions per year.  Many auctions have to be held on the same date with 2 different crews going to different auction sites.
Along with our real estate company, American Real Estate Specialists, we successfully auction off real estate.  With our well-planned and efficient marketing strategies, we have sold millions of dollars in real estate (since 1997) with sale prices at or over the appraised value!
Our staff consists of 2 real estate brokers, 4 licensed auctioneers, an office manager and several top-notch staff to aid in set up of your auctions.  Still a family run business, we feel it is important to know as many of our customers by name as possible.  Many return because we know them on a personal level and they enjoy the entertainment our auction staff provides during each auction.
Changing with the times, our auctions are available now for ONLINE ONLY bidding. We are able to reach a broader, world-wide market resulting in higher prices for our client Sellers. We offer shipping world-wide allowing buyers the opportunity to not miss out on items they want.
We thank each of you who have participated in attending our auctions or recommended us to do one.
