Step into the strange and unusual at our Epic Oddities & Rarities Auction—where the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully bizarre await your bid!

Uncover the strange and spectacular in this 384-lot auction packed with oddities and rarities. From UV-reactive geodes and massive crystal clusters to real taxidermy beetles, skulls, and weevils displayed under glass, every item tells a curious story. Vintage apothecary jars, brass mortars, and Vaseline glass add an old-world mystique perfect for any cabinet of curiosities. You’ll also find cultural treasures like beaded tribal belts and rare Amphora majolica pottery. Classic circus memorabilia, including Ringling Bros. posters and sideshow ephemera, add a touch of Americana to the mix. If you crave the unusual, the macabre, or the truly unique—this is the auction you’ve been waiting for.

This is not a timed auction. It will operate just like a normal live auction however, all bids will be submitted to the auctioneer online. We will have an audio feed of the live auctioneer where the auctioneer will control the pace of the auction and when the lots will be declared SOLD! We will open the first lot at 10am and accept bids from multiple online platforms and absentee bids. We will give fair warning when bidding slows on that item and then the auctioneer will declare that lot SOLD! and open the next lot for bidding. You can bid in advance or wait until the lot opens and bid in real time. It is safer to enter your max bad in advance so that you don’t miss your lot when you forget the auction or don’t bid quick enough and we close the lot. The auctioneer will control the pace of the auction. There is no countdown timer and no time extensions. Once the auctioneer says SOLD we will move to the next lot in the auction.
