Welcome to Moore's Hillje Auction

We are a family owned, full service auction company.  Our story began over 20 years ago, when our founder caught the "auction bug".  James Moore was a Teacher and Coach by profession and a collector at heart.  Upon his retirement from coaching, he needed something to feed his competitive spirit, so a new game began.  He would spend each weekend checking out garage sales, flea markets, auctions, etc for his deals -- you see the game was "how little can you pay and how much can you sell it for?".  We have laughed about his planning trips around yard sales, and every vacation he came home with much more than he left with.  So in 1996, when the previous owners of Hillje Auction decided to sell, James jumped into the ring.  He was the face of Moore's Hillje Auction for over 18 years and truly enjoyed the years he spent as an auctioneer and the friends he met along the way.  Upon his death in 2014, Moore's Hillje Auction was left without an auctioneer, prompting James and Maxine's oldest son, Kirk, to obtain his license, in order to continue the family business. 

 
Maxine, Kirk, and the Moore Family have continued to conduct business in the same spirit as James ---- Honesty is always the best policy.  We strive to have happy clients, whether consignors or buyers, and to provide  everyone with a enjoyable auction experience.  Moore's Hillje Auction hopes to continue serving the Coastal Bend area for years to come.

March 2020 Auction and Coronavirus Update
Hello Auction Family.....

As you are well aware, the CDC and officials are recommending that we limit our social contact with others and refrain from gathering in large groups, due to the COVID-19 virus. With our auctions regularly drawing attendance upwards of 150 people, we feel that it is in the best interests of our bidders and consignors to restructure our upcoming auctions. If you have attended one of our inhouse auctions, you know that it can be close quarters and we all like to touch and and inspect all the items available. We want our bidders to be comfortable in their surroundings and we also want to provide our consignors with the best effort to sell their items. As a result of current recommendations, our auctions will be held online until further notice. We will still have preview times available, these will be by appointment and pickups will be held at the auction house. This will allow us to provide the best defense against the COVID-19 virus.

This has been a decision that we discussed over several days, thought about and prayed about. It is not one that we made hastily, and we can only hope that it is the best decision given the circumstances. We appreciate each and everyone of our customers and wish to do our part in helping everyone stay healthy.

We are currently working to get our March 22, 2020 auction lotted and posted online. We will post an update with the information once we have it ready to open for bidding.

We are blessed to have loyal customers who have kept us in business for over 20 years and we hope to see y'all again soon. Meanwhile we will be in prayer for each of you and for our nation, as we navigate through the current events.

God Bless You and as always... Happy Bidding!!!

The Moore Family
