Pictures of the Sacramento Public Auction facility

Earlier this week, I drove up to McClellan Air Force Base to help set-up the network for Sacramento Public Auction. Although we still have a lot to do, we're shooting for November 11, 2006 to be our first car auction event. Of course, more details will follow as soon as I'm given the go-ahead. In the meantime, here are some photos from our Sacramento facility. It's a little rough right now, but I was assured that the place will be cleaned up by next week.

Here's a photo of the front of the facility. It's actually a 33,000 square foot airplane hangar.



The nice thing about this auction, is that it's indoors. No need to worry about rain, sleet or snow spoiling your fun!

Here's a photo of the the entrance from the inside.



Just to get a perspective on how big the hangar door is, notice the red circled area - that is a standard 7-foot tall door.

We already started moving some of our inventory from Dublin.



Below is one of two financing offices located in the middle of the hangar.



The photo below shows the entrance to the administrative offices and cashier area.



Just past this doorway, is the cashier area. This area is more than twice the size of the cashier area at Alameda County Auction.



It's a bit of a mess right now, but at least, progress is being made.

This last photo is a mural that's painted on the wall by the car wash area. It might have some historic value, so we decided not to paint over it.



That's all the photos I have for now, but I'll be going up again next week. I expect to see a lot of changes.

I'll be announcing the URL for the new website sometime next week. Have a safe Halloween!
