You want to know what we do?

[00:01:02] Speaker A: Oh, continue.
[00:01:03] Speaker B: No, anyway, so we are from the Marketville area. We do a lot of real estate and construction equipment, farm equipment, estates of all kinds. We do a lot of firearms, collectibles, antiques. So been in the business for a long time. My grandfather was in long before me.
And so yeah, that's one part of our business. And then another part of it is we. We own a couple of western stores here in Indiana. We have Cal Poles work in western out of Anderson's work.
[00:01:31] Speaker A: Seen those billboards?
[00:01:32] Speaker B: We've got a few billboards up and down the interstate on I69. And that's where our own mother store is. And that's where we started. It's been 30 some years ago. And then we also have a second location in Cloverdale, Indiana, Ralph I 70 next to. To connect to a big arena called CBARC arena there in Cloverdale. So yeah, so we do a little bit of everything. We're a couple different.
[00:01:54] Speaker A: All right, well, welcome to the show.
[00:01:56] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:01:57] Speaker C: I gotta say I'd like to have Mark Huber and Jack Christie here with Jeff and have them talking in auction language at the same time to see who can go the fastest.
[00:02:06] Speaker A: That would be great. Yeah. You are the third auction company we've had.
[00:02:11] Speaker B: Is that right?
[00:02:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:12] Speaker C: Well, Mark Huber held us down and he was going to beat us to death if we didn't put him on the show.
[00:02:16] Speaker B: Well, yeah, well, he's like. Actually, I'm glad. No, I'm sloppy thirst. Thank you,
[00:02:22] Speaker C: you know, you may be the best of the best. We mean, finally got it right.
[00:02:25] Speaker A: Correct.
[00:02:26] Speaker C: Sorry, Jack.
[00:02:27] Speaker A: So you have been introduced to a new tequila today, Brad. Which one do you want to talk about first?
[00:02:33] Speaker C: I. I say you guys both give a sip of that.
[00:02:36] Speaker A: I'll bring this over here so we can see it.
[00:02:38] Speaker C: This is called El Mexicano. This is made in the town Barrandas. This is made by the Dinuelos families. And the Buenuelos family is pretty famous because. Cause they were the first family to bring as Casadores.
So back in the day, Casadores was a really good clean tequila before it sold. And then they had to not make tequila for a while. And Leon Benuelos, the owner, the father, decided to build a new distillery, and his sons have joined him to make El Mexicana.
And as for a tequila that I think is appealing to a bourbon drinker,
[00:03:13] Speaker B: like, that's no joke, is it?
[00:03:15] Speaker A: No, no, that is very bourbon. Like. Yeah, definitely. Well, ano tends to be that way. I've. I have learned in all of my experience tequila studying and travels. But yeah, that is.
Definitely has a bourbon feel. What you think of that?
[00:03:31] Speaker B: Did you taste that first?
[00:03:34] Speaker C: I always do.
Do whatever you like.
[00:03:43] Speaker B: Definitely has a little bit of a bourbon feel to it. Yeah.
[00:03:45] Speaker A: Right?
[00:03:45] Speaker C: Yeah. So great aging process.
[00:03:49] Speaker A: Their.
[00:03:49] Speaker C: Their whole process. Now they make their tequila sky tight. In a review on that. Check it out on my YouTube channel. It is a fantastic tequila.
[00:03:56] Speaker A: And.
[00:03:57] Speaker C: And I'm drinking Emerald Spear. Emerald Spear is a tequila that's owned by three Navy SEALs and also an ex army, just. Gentlemen, this is made by my friend, Sergio Cruz, 14. The coolest thing about this bottle is when you're all done, you pick this off right here.
[00:04:14] Speaker A: It's a ball marker.
[00:04:17] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:04:17] Speaker C: It comes with its own bar marker.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: Can I just take that with.
[00:04:20] Speaker C: No, because I only have the one bottle. This is from lot two, bottle 1330.
[00:04:24] Speaker A: Hey, Sergio, can you just send me a bottle?
[00:04:26] Speaker C: Yeah, so not a bottle.
[00:04:28] Speaker A: I just want the ball marker because it's pretty cool.
[00:04:30] Speaker B: I need one that either floats or stands out. Weeds.
[00:04:33] Speaker C: I need balls to do that. Golf ball.
So they're on the Coronado island, where a lot of the seals are in California. And this is the topography of the island. It's also where the golf course is, where they golf.
[00:04:48] Speaker B: And that's why the whole idea of
[00:04:50] Speaker C: the ball marker and model I'll take.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: It'll go on the wall.
[00:04:55] Speaker C: It doesn't go on.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: That's nonsense.
All right, well, there's beer on the Table here too. Beer.
Ryan Geist out of Cincinnati, which I did know that one. Do you know Ryan?
No.
[00:05:07] Speaker C: He's a good guy.
[00:05:09] Speaker A: This is called Summer. It's a lemonade shandy. And man, does it smell like lemonade.
[00:05:15] Speaker C: So since it's summer out, I got on my little plant.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh, that really does enhance.
[00:05:21] Speaker C: Don't you wish you had this at
[00:05:22] Speaker A: the Cuervo Celery that day?
[00:05:24] Speaker B: Well, I have.
[00:05:25] Speaker C: Cheers.
[00:05:26] Speaker A: Cheers to you, my friend.
[00:05:27] Speaker C: Cheers.
[00:05:28] Speaker B: Here, let me get my little cup out.
[00:05:29] Speaker A: Here we go.
[00:05:30] Speaker B: There you.
[00:05:31] Speaker A: And cheers to all of you out there. We have a studio audience here today, so cheers to you.
They're not clapping like the ones on frame. That's. It's all right.
People gotta learn. We don't have enough studio audience and we don't have enough can throw in off paused in my editing.
[00:05:50] Speaker C: Oh, you get added to this one
[00:05:51] Speaker A: since we have a. Seems very unlikely.
All right, so auction business and cow post. Yeah. Which one you want to talk about first?
[00:06:03] Speaker B: I don't care.
[00:06:04] Speaker A: All right, which one have you been doing longer?
[00:06:08] Speaker B: Boy, that's about a tie.
Yeah. So now I grew up in the auction business, so we can start there. Let's.
[00:06:13] Speaker A: Okay, sure.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: So when it comes to the auction, that's my grandfather's name was Morgan Shirley, and he started the business in the 1950s.
He was primarily a livestock and a farm equipment and auctioneer primarily. And so he started a small little business out in a cattle pasture and build it up over the years. And then I was actually born in May of 1970. And so we've actually got some records we found where he had written down after an auction, it says Marlowe, which is my mom showed up at the auction in June of 1970. So I was with the new baby boy, Jeff. So that was my very first one. So I went my very first auction when I was a month old.
[00:06:53] Speaker A: Excellent.
[00:06:54] Speaker C: So unfortunately, you didn't get auctioned off.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: I know, I know.
And so. So anyway, they got. Got started in the business. You know, as all the years, I just felt like the office business. Everybody had to know about the office business, you know.
[00:07:07] Speaker A: Right.
[00:07:07] Speaker B: Grow up in it. And so this. It was a great upbringing. And then as we got went to college and got more involved with it, we started to take the auction business over. My grandfather, who was 18 at the time.
And so. So yeah, that's kind of how the start began.
[00:07:22] Speaker A: Did you go to college?
[00:07:23] Speaker B: I did. I went to University of Illinois. I went to Blackhawk College. Ken Illinois livestock judging team. So it was on that. In that area. And this kind of lead is kind of into the other. So my livestock judging.
[00:07:33] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:07:34] Speaker B: Which is actually a big deal. And a lot of people don't realize it's extremely popular today. A lot of colleges will recruit kids in from all over the country to compete on their teams just like they would any other type of team. And we were fortunate to be able to do that. And we won some national championships and did real well and. But we. We always. That's what we kind of got into the cowboys thing. That's where this kind of segues into.
[00:07:57] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:07:59] Speaker B: When we would go these events, you were required wrangler jeans and Justin boots. And, you know, you had to. You had sport code.
[00:08:06] Speaker C: Those are cattle.
[00:08:07] Speaker B: Yes. They are men's.
[00:08:08] Speaker C: You know, we show them.
[00:08:10] Speaker B: We call them men's courts, actually.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:13] Speaker C: Men's clothes. I love that.
[00:08:18] Speaker B: We. We would. We would.
[00:08:19] Speaker C: Hey, Brian, do they sell men's clothes where you got that?
[00:08:25] Speaker A: The worst episode ever.
Christy and Mark Huber did not treat me well.
[00:08:34] Speaker C: I've got a question now that I know.
[00:08:36] Speaker A: I don't know that either of them were men's clothes either.
[00:08:39] Speaker B: Oh, they probably don't.
[00:08:40] Speaker A: Y.
[00:08:40] Speaker B: Can't wait till I see him each next time.
[00:08:42] Speaker C: Jake Burgess did, though.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:44] Speaker C: Of the Burgess family, Jake Worson.
[00:08:47] Speaker B: Okay. Well, he's a good guy.
[00:08:50] Speaker A: All right, continue with your story.
[00:08:53] Speaker B: So anyway, that was. That was kind of our apparel when we were out there. And we would kind of joke around among. For friends and a good friend of mine, Doug Edge, and we. We would joke around. One of these days when we go to college, maybe we should just start store and we'll just carry cool stuff because we had a hard time finding some cool stuff. Ah, kind of he hawy and, you know, it was just a little bit hokey and it wasn't the thing that really we wanted. We thought, you know what, let's just. Let's just do that. Well, it turns out a few years later, I graduated late. He was graduate waiting a year behind me. And my wife and I was in the studio long on that. She's out there and so swivel.
She's scared to death being on the camera. So we're not going to do that to her.
[00:09:34] Speaker A: It's fine.
[00:09:37] Speaker B: So we. We had actually. He called me up, says, hey, you want to start this western store thing? And so ironically, she and I had gotten married on horseback.
That's what she wanted to do. And she's. She grew up around horses all her life, from horse Family.
And we did that and we went to honeymoon in Jacksonville, Wyoming. We got out there. It's beautiful area. We go to some of the shops in town. We ride on a ranch, and we go in town at night and we saw some of the shops. These are pretty cool shops. Got back and he calls me up about a week later and says, well, start that western school thing. And I said, yeah, do.
This is July of 93. And we opened by November of 93. So one, we did fast track. We had no clue we were doing bill. Underfunded, undereducated, winged it the entire way. And there's a long story to that, but basically we. We just kind of plugged away. Doug got into the radio business, and so he moved on. We continued on with business, grew it.
So we went from just a couple of family employees. Which one of them we still have? My mom's still part of the crew, but I'm on. And we went from that to, I think between the two stores, we got around 60 employees today.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: So where was the first store located?
[00:10:47] Speaker B: Anderson.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: Are you still in the exact same location?
[00:10:50] Speaker B: No, we moved across the parking lot.
Achilles furniture store became available. So we went from about 3,500 square feet to 20,000 square feet. That'll do. And it helped a lot. Yeah, that's a big move.
[00:11:01] Speaker C: Wow. So raise your hand if you have some cowboy boots in your closet.
[00:11:06] Speaker B: Awesome. Oh, no. We're going to do something about that.
[00:11:10] Speaker C: I got some Tony Llamas.
[00:11:11] Speaker A: My fashion Tony Llamas.
[00:11:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Y. Tony Lam's still a big brand.
[00:11:15] Speaker C: Pair of lucches.
[00:11:17] Speaker B: Luc Casey's still a big brand.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: Captain Loafers.
[00:11:21] Speaker C: Nike.
[00:11:23] Speaker A: Under Armour.
[00:11:25] Speaker C: You have Under Armour shoes? Yes, they have shoes.
[00:11:28] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:11:29] Speaker C: Did they sell men's clothes when you got those?
[00:11:33] Speaker A: First episode I'm walking off of.
I'm taking this.
[00:11:37] Speaker C: I know your shoes go.
[00:11:39] Speaker A: Yes, they go. And I, as a basketball player, I like the squeak of my shoes. But then it happens.
[00:11:44] Speaker C: I'm just teasing.
[00:11:45] Speaker A: It happened in a house today.
[00:11:46] Speaker C: Raise your hand if you got a
[00:11:47] Speaker A: pearl snap in your clothes.
[00:11:49] Speaker B: What?
[00:11:49] Speaker A: A pearl snap.
[00:11:50] Speaker B: A pearl snap shirt. I don't even know if that's. Yeah, it's like. It's like that's a snap snap.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: Okay, I gotcha.
[00:11:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:56] Speaker A: No, I don't.
[00:11:57] Speaker C: No, we're gonna take you now.
[00:11:59] Speaker A: Clothing I could buy into, but not. Not cowboy boots are not gonna be in my thing.
[00:12:03] Speaker C: I think we should do an episode where we go shopping in Calco.
[00:12:06] Speaker A: You keep throwing out episode ideas, yet all we ever do is shoot from Here.
[00:12:10] Speaker C: Well, it's because I'm here and I'm usually drunk.
[00:12:14] Speaker A: There is that.
[00:12:14] Speaker C: There's the driving component that makes it harder. But I think we should go do an episode where we go shopping at Cal.
[00:12:20] Speaker B: Oh, you need to do that? Sure. Let's do that. Right next to it.
[00:12:24] Speaker C: Yep. I mean he'd even get you like a 10% discount.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: Woo.
[00:12:28] Speaker A: Only on what I'm hoping.
[00:12:29] Speaker B: Yeah. The best part is you won't have to take testosterone shots. Anyway.
[00:12:34] Speaker C: I get it.
[00:12:35] Speaker A: Thanks.
[00:12:35] Speaker C: Thanks for watching.
[00:12:37] Speaker A: Rest of the show with these two.
Son of holy.
[00:12:43] Speaker C: I'm gonna give him a 10 for that one.
That's a good joke. Thank you, Jeffrey. That was good.
[00:12:49] Speaker A: That was the next question.
[00:12:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:51] Speaker D: Summer's here. Crack open a cold sunlight cream ale from Sun King or mix it up with WEMAC Osiris or a seasonal like Play Hard 4 indie tap room locations or find it wherever you grab your beer. Sun King, Indiana Brood Summer approved.
[00:13:06] Speaker C: So I have a question on the auction side because you've been in that business for a long time. How have you adapted to the change and how auctions work today versus the.
I know we still have the old school where you go to the farm and things are being auctioned off, but it seems like everybody has somehow integrated the Internet into their auctions and that online bidding process or even sometimes.
[00:13:29] Speaker A: That's only one he's out in Anderson. They don't. They're not that technologically savvy out there.
[00:13:33] Speaker C: They got the youtubes out. Throwing in my own jab. I seen it.
So how have you been able to adapt to the way things are done today yet keep the old school still alive?
[00:13:43] Speaker B: It's been fun actually. And we are one of handful of companies that still do interact in the live auction method as well. There's. When Covid came along, a lot of companies just went strictly online and they stayed online. And for several different reasons that we introduced online at that same time too. We found very successful. It did. It did. It did. A lot of justification to some of our state auctions where we were actually we kind of track it and we look back now and we see that we had stronger results in the online because gave people more time to bid. It allowed from their home on the phone at any given time.
But at the same time we still have several options that we do a year particularly farm equipment, construction equipment, that type of thing where we'll have an online and in person live auction and online bidding at the same time many times we'll have as many as three simulcasts running at the same time. So we'll pull in thousands of online bidders as well as having a large crowd in person. And so we mix the two. So that's, that's been really good. But we still feel like a lot of people love the call of the auctioneer. They love the excitement, they love the energy that goes on there and want to be in person. And we're, we're. So we're still going to continue to do that. We're actually have scheduled an auction. It's going to be this summer that we're going to call the old fashioned auction. And it's not going to be any Internet so you have to have to be in person. That's very cool. And it's on old Old farm out in the country and the setting is just perfect for it. So we're pretty excited about it. But. But what? No, we did, we mixed the two and we've been able to adjust quite easily to it. But we found there's a tremendous amount of benefit to the Internet.
And then even in a lot of our online auctions for real estate, we sell a lot of real estate online and it's been extremely successful.
[00:15:30] Speaker C: So you do estate auctions?
Yeah, I'm assuming you do those, right?
[00:15:34] Speaker B: Oh yeah.
[00:15:35] Speaker C: Where some of us whole estate. So do you have the ability as the auctioneer, as the auction company to cherry pick some of the stuff that's going to get sold and say, well those two Rolexes, we're going to ignore this much.
[00:15:47] Speaker B: You know, actually we do not do any of that. No, no, we really don't.
[00:15:51] Speaker C: I've always wondered because I see some things and I'm like, okay, if I owned that auction company and I seen
[00:15:56] Speaker B: that, I probably would have bought that. Yeah. You guys don't just say no, we really don't. A lot of times, matter of fact we will bring attention to certain items we feel like have quite a bit of value and bring that to the tension right off the bat and say hey, these are some things we want to focus on. We want you to be surprised by it. We recently had an auction when I went to and one of the family members and she pulls out a couple leather jacks and her grandfather who is still alive and he moved in assisted living. He wanted to sell his estate, sell the real estate. So we were handling with that. And she pulls out these two biker jackets and they were from the 1950s and they were made in the United States and it was a man and a woman's mattress. Biker jacket. And they were covered in mold and mildew and everything. She goes, should we just throw these things away? They're disgusting. We're like, no, let's. We need to have those things. They'll be. They'll be good. I don't know how good they're going to be. But in another thing, I actually brought like $2600.
[00:16:49] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:16:50] Speaker B: And a customer in California bought them online.
So, you know, that kind of goes to show you the power of the Internet. And.
[00:16:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:16:56] Speaker B: Reach out and get some of those rare items out.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: I'm sure you have some items that you've seen come through. You're like, I can't believe this. Someone was holding on to this and now we have to sell it.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: Like, can you think of any of
[00:17:11] Speaker A: those that I was like, that's incredible.
[00:17:13] Speaker B: He's talking about like.
[00:17:14] Speaker A: Like, I don't know, something super rare or, you know, something. Yeah. Holy. That's a Star wars thing. That thing's awesome.
[00:17:21] Speaker C: So that's where I'd be a signed poster by def. By Darth Vader.
[00:17:26] Speaker A: There you go.
[00:17:26] Speaker C: Like a thing.
[00:17:29] Speaker B: Probably.
[00:17:32] Speaker A: He's the.
[00:17:32] Speaker B: Ouch.
[00:17:32] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:17:33] Speaker C: Like the episode When I'm dead.
[00:17:35] Speaker A: There you go. So anything, like super rare, super cool, super awesome.
[00:17:39] Speaker B: You know, we've had so many things, it's hard to pinpoint anyone. I mean, we've had some sports cards that have really gotten wind and done really well. That's cool. We had a pair of.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: Blowing up right now.
[00:17:48] Speaker B: We had a pair of headlamps, old handlights from the 1930s or 40s that, you know, most people that just chucked in trash and bought big, big, big money and they again went out to California to some people. And so, you know, there's. I don't know.
[00:18:02] Speaker A: That's okay.
[00:18:02] Speaker B: Things. But there's. There's a. There's a lot of really neat pieces out there.
[00:18:05] Speaker A: Any slot machines, man, I want a slop. Brad's looking for a slot.
[00:18:11] Speaker C: You know, he's already. Already.
You know, I think what you do for a living is why there are hoards.
[00:18:17] Speaker B: Uhhuh.
[00:18:18] Speaker C: Because I listen to what you just said and I think.
And then two. Two by fours I've had for like 26 years. I need them for something. And when I die, he's going to
[00:18:27] Speaker A: sell them to somebody. Account for you.
[00:18:29] Speaker C: I have every single record in the sleeves in the plastic that Elvis Presley ever made.
[00:18:36] Speaker B: Is that right? Every single one.
[00:18:37] Speaker C: Every single one.
[00:18:38] Speaker A: In order.
[00:18:38] Speaker B: It's pretty incredible.
[00:18:39] Speaker C: No scratches.
[00:18:41] Speaker B: That's an impressive collection.
[00:18:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Tens of dollars.
[00:18:44] Speaker C: I'm going to keep them up there until I'm dead if I can't sell.
[00:18:49] Speaker B: That's pretty cool.
[00:18:49] Speaker C: Do you find stuff like that though?
[00:18:50] Speaker B: You know, we do, we find. We find all kinds of things. I just went to a gentleman's collection in Pendleton.
If they were listening, still know exactly who it is. But we got up there on top of his buildings and said, well, we're gonna take it to the record room. And I forget. I think they said they were estimating they had over 35, 000 albums.
[00:19:07] Speaker C: No kidding.
[00:19:08] Speaker A: What?
[00:19:09] Speaker C: See now I lose my mind on that because I'm a lady.
[00:19:11] Speaker B: Chat and everything you could imagine, I mean from yoga, like an album that leads you to yoga moves.
[00:19:24] Speaker C: Right.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: You know. You know, YMCA was one of the other ones I found. Right. Yeah. So you just. It was amazing, you know, I mean half. And then they took me to the book room which had.
They lost track after 18,000 records that they kept on how many books they have.
[00:19:40] Speaker C: There's different people than us. Yeah. I'm going to take you through the bathroom room and we'll go through the living room.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: The history that you see in your
[00:19:48] Speaker B: job would be super fascinating. It's unbelievable. It's just like pictures every day. Just like see the TV show today. We were at a site.
75 classic cars on the property. You know, just again, a hoarding situation and a massive 4, 500 square foot house. Just packed. Absolutely packed. Couldn't even hunt you.
[00:20:09] Speaker C: No.
[00:20:09] Speaker B: And so, you know, you just, you. Every day is a little bit different, you know. So you do you see a lot of high, high really nice collections, occasionally get drawn in. It's like everything in here needs to go in the dumpster, you know. And you just try to be honest with them and let them know. And some of them.
[00:20:24] Speaker A: But it was my mom's. It's an antique.
What do you consider an antique? Well, what is, what's the stipulation or something to generally be considered?
[00:20:34] Speaker B: Well, you know, the real. The, the rule of thumb is that you're going to be sucking probably. I don't know, somebody's going to correct me on this. It's a older than 50 years and many times, you know, a lot of people will look at 100 years old or something.
[00:20:46] Speaker A: I think that's what Jackson or show.
[00:20:48] Speaker C: You said 100. You said 50. And I'm like, yeah, antique. Yeah.
[00:20:52] Speaker B: It's really not. I mean you. That's more, you know, it's probably.
[00:20:57] Speaker A: It's 50. It's old at 100, it's antique.
[00:20:59] Speaker C: So is it like if it was made at the same time? They call the music oldies because that's all the on this.
[00:21:06] Speaker A: Sadly now 80s are considered oldies.
[00:21:09] Speaker B: I know, I know what's crazy.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: I know. It's very sad.
So Cal Poles.
[00:21:16] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:21:16] Speaker A: You have two locations. Is there any consideration for expanding that?
[00:21:21] Speaker B: I don't know. I guess that's to be seen. But we, you know, we like focusing on the two that we have try to provide customer service of the really high level. And so we don't want to jeopardize that, I guess I should say. But the store has been very successful and it's grown a lot. We just developed such a great customer base and we're really, really fortunate to have customers that are just super great to work with. They really enjoy our products like coming in now we're seeing multi generations.
A lot of times they'll bring the kids in. So this is my favorite store to go to. And I don't know about you, but when I was a kid get. I go to a clothing school. Right. But your schizo must smell fantastic.
[00:22:02] Speaker A: That's the thing right there. I mean, I'd be down.
[00:22:04] Speaker B: Smells like leather masculinity.
[00:22:06] Speaker A: Yeah. What that smells like mother. We're not doing this again.
[00:22:10] Speaker C: It's the coolest, coolest country. I know you. You've had to have several coolest country music star to stop by your store.
