A new auction house is opening in Tauranga this week.
The business is called Auction Kings and is owned and operated by Tauranga man Frank Way.
Mr Way said the 590sq m building he has in Maleme St, Greerton will make it the biggest auction house in the Bay.
He had never run an auction house before, but had been working on the plans for about six months.
"I've always been a wheeler dealer, in the past I've travelled a lot overseas buying at closeouts and buying products around the world for various companies, including Torpedo7 and One Day, so we've got a lot of surplus and closeout stock coming in, we've got a container arriving [from the United States] Wednesday this week."
