Our team had an amazing week in San Antonio at the National Auction Association's Conference & Show. There's nothing better than getting to spend time with clients in person!

If you're also attending, let us know in the comments!

A new episode of the No Reserve Podcast just dropped!

Tim recently sat down with John John Genovese of Malama Auctions. John John runs his business from Kauai, the smallest of Hawaii's four main islands. John John and his dad started the company 13 years ago, and their first auction was made up of stuff they found for free on Craigslist and the side of the road.

John John discusses why he went online only and the pushback he got for it, how island geography affects everything from pricing to which sales are even worth taking, the collaborated auction model that keeps his team small, and the new equipment brand he started this year. He's also honest about why he's building the kind of business that gives him his time back instead of chasing growth.

Thrive 2026 Recap

90 clients traveled from across the US and Canada to spend three days in Harrisonburg with us. These are busy people running serious auction businesses, and they chose to show up, learn, and pour into each other. We don't take that lightly.

The conversations, the sessions, the late nights, the ideas people are heading home with... this is why we do it. BidWrangler exists to help auctioneers build better businesses, and events like this remind us that the "how" is just as much about community as it is about software.

To everyone who made the trip: thank you.

We're hosting BidWrangler Thrive, our first full-client conference, in our hometown of Harrisonburg, VA, from May 11-14. If you're on the fence about joining us, this one's for you.

John Nicholls of Nicholls Auction Marketing Group has been a BidWrangler client since the very beginning, and he recorded a quick video sharing why he's excited about the conference.

His perspective: you'll learn as much from the people sitting at the table with you as you will from any speaker. The conversations, the shared strategies, the real talk from people running auction companies just like yours ... that's what Thrive is built for.

Sign up at https://www.bidwranglerthrive.com/. Registration closes Friday, April 10th. We'd love to see you there!

The No Reserve Podcast is back with a new episode (and a new look)!

Tim and Andy recently headed to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to visit Leon Stoltzfus of PA Auction Center. Leon shares how his father bought the business in 2008 and spent five difficult years in the red before Leon joined in 2012 and they started building something that actually worked.

From a struggling start to a five-auction-per-month operation running variety sales, restaurant equipment, fi****ms, and tools and equipment out of a 140,000 sq. ft. facility with 35 full-time employees, Leon's story is one of consistency, systems, and deep roots in a community where auction culture is genuinely part of the fabric.
