Richmond Auctions Surpasses $100 Million in Auction Sales in Just Four Years

Greenville-Based Auction House Becomes Industry Powerhouse with Record-setting Milestones and Rapid Expansion.

GREENVILLE, S.C., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Richmond Auctions, founded in 2021 by avid collector Jordan Richmond and his business partner Mike McCandless, has officially surpassed $100 million in gross auction sales, achieving this landmark milestone in under four years.

From humble beginnings to a nationally recognized name in the collectibles market, Richmond Auctions has quickly ascended to become the largest auction house in the world specializing in Advertising Memorabilia. Its rapid rise is driven by a reputation for integrity, precision, and deep respect for history—values that resonate with a discerning clientele of collectors and investors.

Among the firm's many accolades is its world-record sale of a 1929 MusGo Gasoline Porcelain Sign, which fetched over $1.5 million, including buyer's premium, making it the most valuable sign ever sold at auction.

In addition to its dominance in memorabilia, Richmond Auctions has diversified with precision. Just 18 months into its Specialty Firearms division, the company has already established a solid foothold in that market and is expanding aggressively.

The year ahead signals no slowdown. Fall 2025 will see the debut of a groundbreaking Gold Nugget & Coin Auction, a category first for the industry. That same season, the auction house will also present The Tony Townley Collection—a premier, museum-worthy offering of automobiles, vintage tractors, and rare signs. This marks the first time Richmond will include vehicles in a cataloged event, further broadening its horizons.

This success is not accidental. "We built Richmond Auctions around trust, legacy, and client-first service," said Founder Jordan Richmond. "Our mission is simple—connect passionate collectors with rare, investment-grade items and make the process as personal and seamless as possible."

Richmond Auctions delivers white-glove service with every transaction, ensuring each item is not only sold, but honored. This client-centric philosophy, coupled with a sharp eye for rare, high-value inventory, has drawn collectors and investors from around the globe.
