McPherson Auction & Realty Company has conducted professional auctions in South Dakota since 1949. When it comes time to choose an auction company, you need a proven track record — a company with an established history of getting the best buyers and the highest prices. You simply can't afford anything less.
Seventy-seven years later, that hasn't changed. What has changed is reach: a Rapid City estate sale now draws bidders from across the country, live online, the moment the lot opens.
Professional auction service begins in western South Dakota.
The classic-car auction becomes the centerpiece of Kool Deadwood Nites each August.
Four auctions in three days at Deadwood Mountain Grand — live & online bidding all three days.
Year-round online auctions, land and realty, from 1401 Oregon Street in Rapid City.
Every auction posts its own preview schedule (inspect in person before you bid) and pay & pickup schedule (pay in full in U.S. funds before removal, then collect in the posted window). Some venues are strict — for fairgrounds sales, everything must be removed the same day, no exceptions — so check your auction's schedule before bidding.
All sales are final, and all announcements on sale day are final. Listing and promotional information is for informational purposes. Internet, proxy/absentee and telephone bids are accepted. The auctioneer, seller and service providers aren't responsible for lost or insufficient internet or telephone service that limits participation.
Yes — four ways: live online through the bidding portal, by phone (we call you when your lot is up), by proxy/absentee bid (leave a maximum and we bid competitively for you), or in person. Need help registering? Call 605-484-1781 and we'll walk you through it.
Worldwide shipping is available on eligible items in many online auctions — it's noted on each auction page. Vehicles, containers and large equipment are pickup-only unless stated otherwise.
Entries for the next year's auction begin being accepted during the current year's event in August. Call 605-484-1781 or 605-381-1594, or use the consign form below — early consignments get the best catalog placement.
Tell us what you're selling — or what you're hunting — and we'll be in touch. For consignments, this opens an email to the McPherson team with your details ready to send.
