Quaker City Auction Company

We are a private family owned and operated company since 1932.  Our founder, Jacob Moshen, started buying and selling goods in the 1920’s.  His tireless approach and guiding hand projected his son Eli Moshen and son-in-law Arden Merback into the business in the 1950’s.  Throughout this period and into the 1960’s, Quaker City Auctioneers directed 52 auction sales per year.

As the 1970’s approached, this prodigious schedule gradually changed. Eric Merback became the 3rd generation licensed and bonded auctioneer of the company, as well as the AMEA-certified appraiser on staff.

Quaker City Auctioneers’ origin into this profession evolved out of our ability to buy and sell equipment, commodities and all types of retail/wholesale goods.  In addition, the prevailing trend influenced us to act as agents for the courts, banks, consignors and the demands of the marketplace that have created the foundation and basis of our auction, appraisal and liquidation business.
