Our mailing list has grown to over 1400 collectors worldwide. Many of you enjoy our catalogues and we have tried to supply them at no cost to a number of you. To reduce our printing numbers and stop the mailing to people who no longer wish to have the catalogue we are starting the following process. A subscription will be offered in January of each year. The cost will be $50.00 US (125.00 overseas) for all catalogues published that year which includes first class mail. This will only cover a small portion of the printing and postage but will do away with the needless mail outs which are very costly. A free catalogue will still be on our website. (www.auctionauction.com) Many people are fine with the internet catalogue. Individual catalogues can still be ordered for $25.00. There will be this and at least two more catalogues in 2011.

Here is the only process to order a subscription and the only way to receive our catalogue. Mail order only! No phone or internet orders.

We will be posting photos the two weeks before the auction as we load from the house.

"This house has more in it than I have ever seen before in all of my years in business and I knew this couple"

There will be three sessions of the Eden Auction and maybe more. We will sell items as we move them from the homeplace to our gallery. Your guess is just about as good as mine what will be in each specific auction. There is a lot of "FooFoo", but also a room in the basement stacked to the ceiling with local antiques that once belonged to the past generations, over 10 crates of costume jewelry and better jewelry, primitives, lunch boxes. I dont know if three auctions will do it. It's the wildest things I have ever seen. Just the contents of the garage and loft might be a later sale.



This is a very large estate that will include a very large collection of jewelry, glass and pottery, French Furniture, Rare lighting, Paintings, china and crystal, and much more. It will take us about three or four auctions to get all of this sold. The home is about 4000 square feet and you cannot walk in the home. The basement and the garage are piled high of all catagories of antiques in various condition. There are boxes in the bsement that have been packed away a lifetime. There are some very fine items in the home and there are also a lot of just stuff.
This estate will be moved to our building to be sold. Keep your eyes on this site.

Cash or check 10% BP. Preview Morning of the auction at 9:00 a.m. and the Friday before each sale 11:00 a.m. till 4:00.

"After the catalogue sale we will auction at random the contents of two basement rooms and two attic rooms. Lots of cool stuff for the people that stay with us all day"

It was 1946 and Fred Barger Sr. opened Skoby's Restaurant at 1001 Konnarock Road in Kingsport, Tennessee. It became a regional benchmark over the last half century. Fred Sr. passed away in 1971 and his son "Pal" took over the restaurant and its operations. He had a vision and a trained eye for decorating the entire building with the “Best of the Best”
Antiques, country store items, period lighting, stained glass and much more were incorporated into the building. The word reproduction was not in his vocabulary and he had pickers through out the area looking for the finest to fill his restaurant’s unique private rooms, lobbies, and dining rooms. Antiques were purchased throughout the United States. The country store section has one of the best antique advertising collections in the United States.
Nothing was spared in the search for items to suit the decor. After many years of operation and more time being devoted to the "Pals Sudden Service" side of the business. Pal donated Skoby’s to Virginia Intermont College in 2005 for a culinary institute. They decided not to operate it a few years back and we have been contracted to sell the contents including fine antiques, country store items, stained glass lamps, carousel horse, unique decorations, theme rooms including Asian-trains-nautical-movie, kitchen equipment, tables and chairs, architectural, office furniture and much more. The building is much like it was the day it was closed. Many nice table and chair sets to be sold. Own a piece of history.

We will be selling everything. Nothing has been removed. The ironwork, the walls, bars, doors, the butcher shop, the bakery, the stained glass and anything in the building or attached to the building. The building will be torn down after the auction. Riggers will be onsite to help you remove items. We will have both electrical and contracting riggers for you to hire if needed.

Terms of sale- Cash or check day of sale- 10% Buyers Fee on site 15 on the net. The sale will be conducted rain or shine!!! Our tents will be up. Buyers will be given 3 days to remove architectural items that are attached to the building. Out of state buyers not known to us, must have a bank letter of credit addressed to Kimball M. Sterling, Inc. This letter also may be faxed to 423-928-2816.

A preview and pre-registration will be held the Sunday before the Monday auction from 11:00 a.m. till 3:00 p.m. We will also open for preview at 8:00 a.m. morning of the auction.

While bidders can browse, register and leave absentee bids, the LiveAuctioneers live bidding and viewing console is not compatible running under the Mac OS X operating system. However, if a bidder has one of the Intel-based Mac systems, they have an option to participate by obtaining a copy of Windows XP SP2 and installing on your system Parallels Desktop.



My friend Joe "The Spam" Adams has collected folk-art for about as long as I have been selling art. I met Joe about 19 years ago, when he attended the Howard Smith Collection Auction. That was the first major collection offered to the public. Many pieces in this auction are from Joe's private collection. It was exciting getting into his storage and seeing items that have been off the market for many years from various collections that we have sold. He bought the best Willey Masseys from the Smith Collection, art from the Gitter-Yellen Collection, the Oh Appalachia Collection, Warren and Sylvia Lowe Collection, the James Smith Pearce Collection and many more. This will be an in-house and live internet auction(www.liveauctioneers.com). Both phone and absentee bids will also be accepted.

There’s also a finely carved snake with brass and beaded eyes. The killer came to America and lived in Patterson, New Jersey for a short time and was a reporter for the anarchist paper La Questione Social. He then returned to Italy and committed the crime and was sentenced to life in prison. He was found dead in his cell in 1901 .The snake has pyrographic decoration, no ferrule, and original patina-OL 37”-$2,500-$2,500

ADVANCE NOTICE
Time:
Update. Dec. !st, He is up to it again,
You're probably aware of it, but Mr. Ross is up to his old tricks again.
A man by the name of George Powers who lives in Montreal has received
messages from Mr. Ross. Mr. Ross sent him photos of things he's
"selling." One of those photos is of the same pedestal that I "bought"
from Mr. Ross. George's phone number is (450)445-xxxx and his e-mail
address is vandenbergh88@xxxx. He can give you a lot more
information.

Mr. Ross is using the name Katherine this time. Katherine said she has
some old things for sale and she and her brother Richard don't know what
they're worth. Mr. Ross sent George several photos. I'll forward the
messages and photos to you. Like I mentioned, one of the items is the
same pedestal Mr. Ross "sold" me. When I originally saw the ebay
listing for the pedestal, I went into Mr. Ross' other items. One of
them was a round bench with dark pink upholstery. That bench is also in
one of the photos. I talked to George on the phone last night. He told
me Mr. Ross has opened a new ebay account. His user name is Kathbaby


Update on Carlton Ross also know as Charles Griffin:
Hi Dan, Kimball, and George,

Dan gave me the name and e-mail address of his attorney in Winnipeg.
After contacting him and looking over the small claims court website I
decided not to try and recover my money. If I do, I could just end up
losing a lot more money, and I couldn't deal with the thought of losing
any more money on the account of that waste of a human life. The
attorney charges $275 an hour and wanted an up-front payment of $500. I
lost $2,850 to Ross. The small claims website says that I can ask for
expenses incurred in suing Ross. First, I would have to win the case
and be awarded the money I spent suing him. I would have to travel to
Winnipeg for the trial. They will only garnish his wages for a year.
If I don't get all my money back, I would have to go back to court to
get his wages garnished again. They can put a lien on his property, but
I doubt if he has any. I think he lives in his parent's house. Mandy
Ambrose can't give me any help at all, not even advice. She's just told
me that if I want to take Ross to court, I need to file the suit very
soon. She can't tell me anything about the other victims. She said I
would have to hire a lawyer to do that. I don't know why lawyers can be
given that information, but I can't. The Canadian legal system is just
as screwed up as ours is.

Anyway, I got a brochure in the mail yesterday about mail fraud.
Apparently it's becoming a major problem. The brochure said I could
file a complaint with the US Postal Inspection Service. They will
investigate crimes that are committed using the US Postal Service.
Their website is postalinspectors.uspis.gov. I filed a complaint. It
probably won't amount to anything, but I'm hoping he gets charged with
mail fraud in this country. The more crimes he gets convicted of, the
better. Here's the complaint I filed with the Postal Inspectors:


The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Winnipeg Canada have charged
Carleton Ross with 7 counts of fraud. He defrauded 7 people out of
almost $40,000 by posting items on ebay and never delivering them. I
"bought" an antique pedestal and griffin from him for $2,850 but never
received it. I sent Mr. Ross a check for $2,850 through the US mail.
In addition to the charges he's facing in Canada, he should also be
charged with mail fraud in the U.S. I don't know how his other victims
paid him. The crimes should be investigated to see if others mailed
payments through the U.S. mail. The prosecuting attorney should be able
to give you that information. Her name is Mandy Ambrose. Her e-mail
address is mandy.ambrose@gov.mb.ca. I don't know that all 7 of the
victims are Americans, but I think most of them probably are. I know
that one of them lives in Kentucky. His name is Dan Sutherland. He
made a bank transfer for $8,000 and never received the item he bought.
I do know that none of the victims are Canada.


Carlton Bruce Ross also known as Charles Griffin has been arrested and charged with seven counts of Fraud. Court is set for June 9, 2010 at the Winnipeg Provincial court office.
RCMP
Commercial Crime Section

Over 20 people have contacted us about this man now. Someone will catch him soon.This man is a liar and a thief.china2677

The following is the opinion of Kimball M. Sterling president of Kimball M. Sterling Inc. Auctioneers. Two time winner of the "Best of Show" award from the National Auctioneers Association and an Internationally known auctioneer for the past 15-20 years.

April 28th- If you have ust googled "LOUIS BOULLE GRANDFATHER CLOCK aft JEAN-HENRI RIESENER " read this before you buy

Hi Kimball,

I did something really stupid myself. Nikita took his listing off of ebay before the auction ended and I sent him a message asking him why he did that. Then I bought the pedestal from him outside of ebay. Ebay is always cautioning people not to do that. It sounds like Dan didn't use paypal. He paid for the things he bought with a bank transfer. For several months now, ebay won't let people sell things unless they accept payment by paypal. I think Nikita is getting people to buy things outside of ebay and with payment methods that are insecure. When I talked to him on the phone, he told me I could send him a money transfer. That's the least secure payment method. Nikita's using ebay to advertise his things (if they really are his, and they probably aren't) and then screwing people by getting them to do things that ebay cautions against. That's probably why they didn't care when Dan contacted them. I fell victim to Nikita because the thing he advertised on ebay was the coolest piece of antique furniture I've ever seen. I just really wanted it and was willing to take the chance. I should have told him I would drive to Montreal and pick it up and pay him when I picked it up. It's too late for that now. Oh well.


Have a good day. And thanks for being so proactive in trying to put a stop to this idiot's scams. It was good to hear that someone read your website and it prevented him from buying that clock that Nikita advertised. You're a good man.


Date: Apr 28, 2010 12:58 AM
dear sir, this man ripped me off $2500.00 on the same clock that the other guy was talking about. and now he has it back on ebay!!! along with other things!!! this guy needs to be caught...

Date: Monday, April 26, 2010, 9:57 PM


Doug:
Thank you so much for contacting me about Nikita Bentley Ross alias Charles Griffin. I have contacted an attorney in Winnipeg and intended on contacting the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. What address did you use for the Canadian Police? I would be interested in working with you on this. He stole $8,000 from me and anything in Canada below $10,000 is a small claims case. Together he took over $10,000 from the two of us. Maybe this would be of greater interest for the RCMP? I was told to contact the FBI fine arts fraud division and the internet fraud division and they would work with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

If you have any more contacts or information I would appreciate knowing. Again I certainly appreciate you getting with me and one day this thief will have to recon with the legal authorities.
What really made me mad was that e-bay did nothing to help me and he even filed a complaint against me saying I did not pay him! Of course the bank transfer was sent to Charles Alexander Griffin his alias.

Thanks

>Thank you for posting the information about Charles Griffin. Last fall I bought something from him online and sent him a check for $2,850. I’ve never received the item. I’ve sent him messages about it and I’ve gotten responses. The person who sends the responses signs his name Phil. For a few months he’s been telling me that Charles has been incapacitated with some serious infection. He won’t give me any other information. I’m sure Phil is really Charles. I’ll contact the Winnipeg authorities. I’ll probably never see my money, but now that I’ve seen your posting on the internet, I’ll start to do something about it.

Update of Charels Jan 24,2009:

I have received this info from another auction gallery:

Kimball,

I've just confirmed that Charles Alexander Griffin is indeed going by the name Nikita Carleton Bentley Ross, nowadays. I just wanted to let you know that for your own records, in case he tries to bid with you again. Thanks a lot for posting the deadbeat's information on line; it was super helpful. I like to avoid potential problems before the hammer falls...and you and I both know that Charles Griffin aka Nikita Ross is a problem


Charles Alexander Griffin, Yes I said Charles Alexander Griffin
42 Driftwood Bay
Winnipeg, Manitoba

Canada

Call us to find out more about this deadbeat bidder. He owes us for a purchase. About 2285.00 and will not answer calls or emails.
Auctioneers be aware of this guy. Please blacklist this bidder. Call us at 423-928-1471 and we will tell you more. We are in the process of filling a suit against him under the UCC.
He will not know it but someday when he shows his passport at customs he will have a surprise here in the United States.

In my opinion you should not believe a word he says. This notice is posted September !st, 2008. Any notice posted anywhere else after this date from this deadbeat bidder should be one of his lies.

We have been in business for 20 years and have never had a person like this bid at any of our auctions.
