Sales Auction Company LLC, established in 2009, held its 15th Annual Fall Sale Oct. 25 and 26, 2024, featuring both a virtual timed auction and a live onsite event at its 8-acre facility located at 55 King Spring Road in Windsor Locks, Conn. The event generated just more than $9 million in sales.

Online purchases amounted to $4.3 million.

Crowds gathered at the Windsor Locks facility to browse an extensive selection of equipment, machinery, parts and vehicles. Carlos Garcia, an attendee for eight years, said, "When you buy or sell with Sales, you can do it with confidence." Many attendees have been loyal customers of the Sales annual auctions for years.
