About this Event
Every Thursday night in Kansas City, something truly special happens — Andrew Turner Auctions comes alive. It's not just a sale, it’s an event — part treasure hunt, part community gathering, and part vintage spectacle. For over a decade, it’s been a weekly ritual for collectors, designers, decorators, and those who appreciate the charm of things with stories to tell. Whether you're hunting for one rare piece or just enjoying the thrill of discovery, this isn’t your average auction — it’s a fast-paced, good-natured dose of Midwestern magic.
Collectors come for the thrill of the chase — military relics, rare coins, original art, ephemera, advertising, furniture, and finds that don’t show up twice. Local history enthusiasts get a front-row seat to tangible pieces of the past: items that tell Kansas City's story in a way museums never quite can. One night it’s a Civil War letter, the next it’s a 1960s neon sign or a trunk full of Depression glass. You never know what’ll show up on the block, but you know it’ll be something worth talking about.
Designers and decorators have long been in the know. This is where character-driven style is born — not from cookie-cutter retail but from pieces that come with patina, provenance, and presence. Mid-century lamps, antique trunks, brutalist art, vintage barware, architectural salvage — the kind of items that make a room not just decorated, but . . . interesting. It’s where creative people go to get inspired and bring soul to their spaces.
But Andrew Turner Auctions isn’t just for insiders — although it certainly feels like you're part of a secret club once you attend. It’s for anyone with curiosity, a sense of adventure, or an eye for the offbeat. It’s not a hidden gem — it’s a public one, just under-publicized, and those who show up understand they’re part of something rare and real. There's laughter, friendly competition, and the satisfying feeling of walking out with something you didn’t know you needed until you saw it.
If you’ve never been, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s timeless. It’s Kansas City culture in its most unfiltered, entertaining form — an ever-changing collection of the past, sold live, right in front of you. Come for the deals, stay for the energy, and leave with a story or two. It’s not just stuff — it’s stuff that matters.
HUNDREDS of preview pics + video are posted Tuesday evening in advance of the Thursday night auction. Open house preview every Wednesday from 11 -1. Auction night, doors open at 5 and auction starts at 6.
