Our Mission

"To respect the integrity of each and every client's situation as if it were our own" Boyd Auctions has been a family-owned and operated business since 1989 and is committed to upholding high standards of quality and integrity in their business. Our goal is to provide the best possible expertise and personal service to attorneys, trust officers, estate executors, as well as the public. We offer streamlined personal property valuations and liquidations through appraisals, auctions, and estate sales, bringing you the most effective and professional results in the shortest amount of time. Boyd Auctions is well-known and respected for their years of experience and knowledge in the arts, antiques, and personal property market. We specialize in appraising and selling antique furniture, decorations and whole collections including fine art, ceramics, silver, jewelry, coins, clocks, and oriental rugs. Both John and Maureen have been involved in the Antique Business since 1980, Maureen grew up in the McInnis Family of Auctioneers and Dealers with whom they gained experience before embarking on their own in 1989. Boyd Auctions is committed to the seacoast, the community, and the environment. They have helped raise thousands of dollars through the auction method for local charities. Buying antiques at auction is good for our environment as everything we sell at auction has been recycled from one generation to the next.
