Hueckman Auction & Sales is a family-owned auction house operated by Prentice, WI native Scott Hueckman and his wife Meredith.  The Hueckman Auction Team has been hosting licensed live and online auctions and estate sales in North Central Wisconsin since 2006, with recent expansion into NE WI and the UP of Michigan.

We currently host at least 50 auctions per year, more than any other company in Northern Wisconsin. Our dedicated and knowledgable staff is always on hand to answer your questions and assist in the auction process from setup to closing.

We have experience in selling just about everything, from heavy equipment to automobiles, boats, UTVs, business equipment, real estate, coins, jewelry, antiques, collectibles, and household items.

We also feature an aggressive marketing campaign that includes both print and online elements, which is sure to get your auction noticed by more potential bidders. Take a look below to learn more about the services we have to offer!

Online Auctions

In the past several years, online auctions have become the most favored method of selling at auction.  The exposure of an auction to an online worldwide audience, as well as the convenience for bidders to bid when they want, from wherever they want, has made this a system preferred by both buyers and sellers.  The online auction method works for anything someone might have to sell including antique collections, coin collections, general household items, furniture, appliances, automobiles, and more.  If you’ve got it, we can sell it!

If you’re considering selling at online auction, let Hueckman Auction & Sales assist you through the process.  We offer one of the best online auction services in the region, and  our professional staff will make sure each item you sell has accurate and informative item descriptions and high resolution photos, netting you the best possible sales price.  Best of all, we can host your auction either on location or in our Phillips, WI auction house providing you with the most flexibility for your situation.

Live Auctions

For auction purists, a live auction is an event that holds as much excitement for them as a birthday party might hold for a child.  A bidder can spend an entire day with friends or family, digging through boxes or rummaging through an old barn looking for that special treasure that you’ve just got to take home with you.  Live auctions are a unique and fun experience full of surprises — and surprise deals!

Live auctions have certain benefits that online auctions do not, and thus a seller may be more inclined to use the live auction format.  For instance, a seller may only have a short timeframe in which they need to liquidate their items, so in this case a live auction would be a good option as it requires a fraction of the setup and execution time of an online auction.  Live auctions are also a viable option for large estates, as it allows everything to be sold and settled in a matter of days. 

If you’re considering selling with a live auction, let Hueckman Auction & Sales assist you through the process.  Scott Hueckman has been calling bids since 2006, and has with him a staff of experienced ring personnel, clerks, and cashiers ready to help you on auction day.

Cash Buyouts

In certain circumstances, Hueckman Auction & Sales can offer consignors a direct cash buyout of their inventory. This can be an excellent option for those looking to lower their risk of return at auction, or for those who can’t or simply would rather not participate in the auction process.  Please note that the terms of a buyout may vary, depending on the unique situation of the consignor. 

If you have questions about this process or any of our additional services, contact us for your free consultation!

Appraisals

Whether you’re in the middle of a big life  transition or simply looking to place a  value on your collections, Hueckman Auction & Sales can help with appraising those items.  Company owner Scott Hueckman has over 15 years of experience performing appraisals for estates and divorce settlements. 

Scott and his team will provide a complete appraisal of your inventory, and we can even prepare the items for auction if someone wishes to go that route.

If you have additional questions about the appraisal process, contact us for your free consultation!

Marketing Your Auction

A successful auction is one where the prices realized meet or exceed seller expectations.  Just like any company that sells a product or service, advertising and marketing is a crucial component to successful sales.  In the auction world, the same principle applies to the items we auction for you – they need to be advertised and promoted. 

So how do we do this?  First and foremost, Hueckman Auction & Sales has been in business for over 15 years.  During this time, we’ve built an extensive bidder base with many loyal repeat buyers.  Additionally, we feature an aggressive marketing campaign that includes both print and digital elements which will get your auction items noticed by more potential bidders.     

In 2022, we introduced a mobile app available for both iOS and Android devices. This has made bidding much easier and more convenient, and will increase overall traffic and interactions with our auctions.
