Showtime Auction Services

Biography

Showtime Auction Services is located in Woodhaven, Michigan, and has been serving clients since 2002. Mike and Lori Eckles, owners and auctioneers, boast decades of experience and service in the realm of auctions, catering to a diverse body of collectors with discriminating and eclectic palates. Showtime Auction Services conducts two auctions annually -- one in the springtime, and the other in the fall -- and has partnered with Invaluable.com for six auctions, to date.

Showtime Auction Services' approach is unique, as the treasures consigned for auction are featured as brief scenes in a play, with items showcased in organized vignettes reminiscent of a museum setting, making each piece more endearing to the collector.

Showtime Auction Services' international marketing techniques have realized many noteworthy sales, including that of a Mr. Peanut figurine, for $35,750; a Gold Medal oil sign, for $44,000; a Brunswick back bar fixture, for $77,000; and a 1905 Wurlitzer PianOrchestra, for $120,000. Showtime Auction Services was also featured on the cover of The Antiques Journal, highlighted for its standing as the premier auction house in the sale of advertising signs.
