Frey & Sons Auctioneers conducted an absolute auction in Columbus, Ohio, on May 31, for the Shelly Company and other area contractors.

The auction featured a variety of asphalt paving equipment along with excavators, skid steers and other construction equipment as well as a large selection of trucks and transport equipment. While onsite bidders consisted largely of equipment buyers from Ohio and surrounding states, the sale drove heavy online bidding as well.

Based in Archbold, Ohio, Frey & Sons is a family owned business with three generations of involvement in the company, providing real estate brokerage services, equipment appraisal services and site based and online equipment auctions throughout the year.
