The Iconic Purple Auction House
Our Team
Alaska Premier Auctions & Appraisals LLC is proud to employ 45+ full-time Alaskans. Our auctioneers, realtors, appraisers, and marketing professionals are here to serve you with expertise and care — we love what we do and look forward to helping you every step of the way.

Our Company
We have tens of thousands of registered bidders and email subscribers in 40+ countries — and we've shipped winnings worldwide.
We're proud to be part of a global community of buyers and sellers. Every week, we host auctions featuring rare and unique treasures you won't find anywhere else — with incredible deals that can only be found when you get to name your own price.
Our Process
We pride ourselves on selling inventory in a quick, easy, efficient, and profitable manner. For our sellers, we strive to be your auction services expert from start to finish — whether you're providing a few pieces of quality inventory to one of our regular monthly consignment auctions, or you need an entire estate or business clean-out and all of the inventory liquidated.
We provide the planning, marketing, and selling expertise to make sure our clients receive top dollar for whatever it is they're selling. With over a decade's worth of marketing, advertising, sales, and business development background, we know how to reach the broadest base of targeted bidders to actively compete in our auctions. Our modern approach is easy and fast — after the auction, we mail checks in 7–14 business days on average.
- No hassle of selling items yourself online — no spammers, no-shows, or risky in-person encounters
- No wasted weekends prepping for and running a garage sale for nickel-and-dime offers
- The auction method is one of the truest forms of price discovery for your inventory
- Open, honest, transparent, and efficient auctions — live, online, or simulcast
