Olds Auction Mart

Olds, Alberta

We have now been in the firearms business for about three years. We have three sales a year, where we limit each sale to 200 guns and mix miscellaneous in throughout. We have had excellent feedback due to our lowest commission rates in the business, and our auction expertise. We have been in the auction business since 1953. We have a large team and are family owned and operated, and try very hard for the consignors. We advertise the guns very well, and also offer online bidding with video, which has really been of help.
