WHO AREWE?
At Richmond Auctions, we view ourselves as caretakers of incredible collectibles until they pass on to the next person for their love and enjoyment. We have a reputation for hosting some of the most exciting and successful petroliana and automobilia auctions in the country, and have a strong track record of selling rare and collectible petroliana, americana and automobilia items at premium prices. A passion for automobilia, gas, soda, oil, specialty firearms, and other collectibles is what drives Richmond along with an unrelenting focus on customer service. Our goal at each auction is to bring the highest quality and rarity seen in the automobilia, petroliana and firearms collectibles industry, and to do what we do, we need someone to assist on the front end of our business. We know how to work hard and have fun. And we think we re just getting started. We believe great customer relationships is the answer to many things.

You exude confidence, calmness, and focus when there are a million things happening at once. You have a gift for efficiency, and your quick wit will keep your teammates on their toes.
