 I am currently working on your answer, but it would be very helpful
to know whether you reside in the United States.
 If so, are you willing to travel all over the country, or do you want
to restrict your travel to a certain geographical area?
 Also, are you interested in online auctions as well?

Hello, itsnimbus-ga I have found a few comprehensive auction listing sites, and then broken the rest down by individual states depending on available information.

Request for Answer Clarification by itsnimbus-ga on 08 Jan 2003 07:20 PST I see you have put together a list of auction companies. I am looking for a digest of all auctions and estate sales that are scheduled. The list needs to be all 48 states. My particular interest is in Steuben Glass. Can you refine your list? Rod in Atlanta, GA
Clarification of Answer by umiat-ga on 08 Jan 2003 08:47 PST Rod, Your original question: "I need to find out when and where estate and antique auctions are coming up either by internet or subscribing to a news letter, paper, magazine or sometype of service" ...mentioned nothing about Steuben glass. I will certainly try to look for that item, but you have now changed your question. I am not sure that an auction or estate sale listing would be refined to the point of always mentioning this one item. Secondly, all of the companies I listed for you are auction companies that have their auctions and estate sales listed on calenders on the internet. Most have an online catalog or pictures of the items being offered for sale, or a written description. ** Did you look at the sites? ** Most even offer to send a newsletter of their upcoming auctions and estate sales. Third.....although I will try to find a "digest" of all auctions and estate sales, your original question asked for "internet sites, newletters, paper, magazine or some type of service." Now that you are asking specifically for a digest, you have also narrowed your question down to a particular request that was not in the original. And finally, your original question did not mention that the "digest" must include "all 48 states." Although I will also try to find auctioneers in all of the states, I cannot assure you that every state has such a list included in "a digest." I am offering these comments as a suggestions for future questions, so that answers can be provided in the most efficient manner. In this way, you will receive the answer you are expecting, and the researcher will not have to double their efforts. You might have phrased your original question something like this... "I am looking for a written digest of auctions and estate sales in all fifty states. I am specifically interested in Steuben glass." I will try to fulfill your additional request, but unless you are looking for a newsletter specifically highlighting Steuben glass, I believe you will have to pour through estate and auction sale descriptions, whether on the internet or in a digest. umiat

I had two days worth of computer trouble that kept me from responding to any questions. It has proven difficult to find many comprehensive digests that cover the entire country. Most are regional. However, the Maine Antiques Digest, Antique Week, and Antiques and the Arts Online all have print and online versions, and cover auctions/estate sales throughout the United States.

AntiqueWeek is printed in two editions: the Central Edition covers the Midwest, while the Eastern edition covers the Eastern Seaboard. The recent launch of our monthly newspaper AntiqueWest offers quality editorial and advertising specific to the California and West Coast antiques market.” (The website also has an online calendar.
