Just wondering if anyone has experience with auctioning, selling, or otherwise disposing of non-fine arts types of  museum-used property.  The America's Smithsonian Exhibit (150th traveling anniversary celebration) has left us with large quantities (approximately 40 tractor trailer loads) in several categories of property including lighting; exhibit cases, platforms and walls; security; audio visual; retail; ticketing and furniture. 

We are eager to quickly sell-off what we have, probably by auctions this January.  The property is located in three different places, Scottsdale, Arizona, Dallas, Texas and Alexandria, Virginia. Recommendations, experience, etc. local or otherwise, would be appreciated.  Of course, offers would be, too, and feel free to pass this info to others in your museum that may interested.

If you want to reach me my e-mail address is [log in to unmask] (tel. 202-287-3346)
