Doug Embleton Auctions Inc. began over thirty-seven years ago in Ridgeway Ontario, under the registered name of D&L Antiques. By 1991 the business had developed from a small retail outlet, to a multi-faceted service related antique, appraisal and auction business incorporated under "Doug Embleton Auctions Inc.".

Family owned and operated, we treat each sale as though it were our own. The majority of our staff has been with us since our inception and has been trained in all aspects of the business.

Our Services
At Doug Embleton Auctions Inc., we are unique in that we offer our clients a full estate service. We confer with our clients explaining the several options to sell their homes, store and/or contents, automobile, tools etc. all in one day.

1. Real Estate
   We have been a leading Real Estate Auctioneer since "1970".
   We charge the vendor 0% commission on real estate sales.
   
   
2. Tag Sale
   The goods are tagged and offered for sale. As the sale progresses, the prices are systematically lowered until everything is sold.
   
   
3. Auction Sale
   All items are sorted and sold by auction either on site or at an auction hall. On site sales cost far less money than to transport goods and rent a hall. On site sales usually have higher selling prices than in a hall.
   
   
4. Retail
   Specific important items may be sold through one of our annual retail sales.
   
   

It is extremely important to use an appropriate, effective advertising campaign. Depending on the size and value of the goods being sold, we use newspapers, flyers, several internet sites, radio, local television, and signage to increase public awareness of the upcoming sale. We have added the capability to use a live internet connection with video and sound while doing your sale.

After viewing what is to be sold we will fine tune our printed auction proposal using the best method that suits the clients circumstance.
