Welcome Grayson Dove
Welcome Grayson Dove! July 4, 2010 Happy Fourth of July, and “Cheers” to all. I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. If you’re a Heritage buyer or seller, rest up and get ready for a busy second half of 2010. We’re adding many great assets and sale events in the coming weeks. Two large […]
Wish Dad Was Here
When Kirk and I departed from that big “international” auctioneer, I had no hard feelings but was glad Millard Dove didn’t have to witness the process. A few months changes everything. We just had the week of all weeks. Three auctions exploded and doubled the estimated values. Our dad always cautioned us to under promise […]
Thunder on the Horizon
I see Kirk is two blogs up, and I am too competitive to let him triple up on me. So while my brother struggles this Saturday to lower his handicap, I am in the shop, catching up after week six on the road. When I said our thunder is coming, I had no idea how […]
Tip of the Cap
Yesterday we conducted our Webcast Auction of a leading cap and apparel manufacturer. The sale was held in Jackson, Alabama (more than a stone’s throw from our home office in Del Mar), and we utilized BidSpotter to broadcast the event over the Web. And broadcast they did. Thanks to the companies around the globe for […]
Vion Pharmaceuticals
I have a confession: one of my favorite auction industry sectors is bio-pharma. Over the years, I have conducted projects for Pfizer, Merck, Squibb, Alza, J & J, and a host of others. I have been genuinely and consistently impressed by the industry’s noble mission of trying to improve human life through their discoveries and […]
Beyond Bullish
February 25, 2010 I have been patiently waiting for a barn burner day worth blogging about. The problem is that we’re now in the thick of it here at Heritage, and the running around of signing and conducting auctions is becoming common course. You have great days when you win one, and tons of medium […]
Back in Business Excitement
December 1, 2009 Well, it wasn’t very long at all, but it did seem like an eternity to me. You can open a new business, rent the building, print the cards, build the website… you know, essentially “hang up the shingle.” But you’re never really in business until you ink that first deal. There will […]
Embracing the Future
November 23, 2009 Tomorrow my family and I return from Puerto Rico, where we’re currently spending a quiet night together after the Industrial Auctioneers Association’s annual convention. The warm reception and the good wishes we received from our colleagues and competitors there made me even more aware of how much I love our industry. The […]
The Undisputed Heavyweight Champ
This is it. I have had some great days over the years. I have awakened to see my picture on the cover of Forbes and on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. I have stood before thousands, alongside my father and brother, in record breaking auctions. But this is it. I am thrilled […]
Heritage’s New Website Takes the Helm
If it had been a ship, I would have broken a bottle of champagne across its bow and sent it out to sea. But it was a website, so I told our engineer to hit the button. And just like that, you are officially in business. We’ve actually been in business now for about six […]

Back in Action
Day 30: On the road again, and it feels really great to be back in business. Today I am bidding on a bio-pharma deal with Bruce from Aaron Equipment. Next week I am making a joint pitch with Robert at Hilco. Give me a call, and Heritage will do back flips to prove we’re a […]
