Slideshow: Scenes from the KC Auction Company

Posted by Nadia Pflaum on Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 7:00 AM

Four years ago, Jason and Stacy Roske opened the KC Auction Co., LLC, and they've been auctioning off antiques, personal property and real estate parcels every other Tuesday night ever since. Jason Roske serves as the fast-talking auctioneer around these parts, and he says that in Missouri, a $50 fee to Jackson County is all it takes to get an auctioneer's license. Kansas doesn't even require a license.

Click on the box of half-naked babies to continue to the slideshow of last Tuesday's auction, which featured the belongings of the late Virginia Pell, mother of Diane Pell, who died on August 19, 2009. She'd owned a shop called Middle Class Values at 5010 Main Street (and was once quoted in The Nation).

Heather, click on the KC Auction Co. link in the post and it will take you to their website. I think their auctions are usually every other Tuesday, but this one might have been a special occasion.

I wish I had known about this to go. It's like walking into her store without the risk of being crushed by an unstable pile of hoarded goods or asphyxiation by cat urine and dust. That said, I loved her store.
