GEORGE BUSINESS - When an auctioning firm receives an instruction to sell over 1 000 assets with a strict deadline over December, there is nothing easy about it. When the business has a history of 31 years, as one of the biggest family-run pine wholesalers in the Garden Route, the auctioneer and his team shoulder further pressure.
Van Rensburgs Auctions is proud that the trustees of the Van der Laan Family Trust had entrusted the firm to conduct the closing-down auctions of both Deco Den Pine Furniture Shop and AV Products on 4 and 8 December 2018 respectively. Over 1 000 items were auctioned, taking over eleven hours in total. Items included ample household pine and cane furniture, mattresses, foam, upholstery and even the delivery vehicles.
The auctions attracted interest from all over the Southern Cape and were extremely well attended. The auctioneer, Louis van Rensburg, enthusiastically commented that "110 registered bidders took part in the Deco Den auction, and at AV Products 140 buyers registered to bid.
"This is a record amount of attendees at a furniture auction for our firm."
Tony Stokes, business and property management consultant on behalf of the trustees, said, "It was indeed a pleasurable experience to deal with real professionals in the business of auctions. Their attention to detail and the auction decorum is testimony to the commitment they have to their customers."

The Deco Den property, situated on the corner of York and Albert streets, has subsequently been sold by private treaty.
However, the AV Products warehouse behind BMW in Glaze Street is still on the market and Ann Spies at Van Rensburgs can be contacted for more information on 044 878 2877.
The auctioneers would like to thank the trustees and the business consultant for the opportunity to conduct these mega auctions.
