The After Auction is a Florida online clearance auction platform owned and operated by London Allen. Currently based in Gainesville, Florida, London grew up and lived in New York city most of her life where she found her two passions: antiques and helping people. Estate sale services are a perfect melding of these two passions.

​

London’s initial foray into sales and auctions began in 1999 selling vintage cameras on Ebay. As her business expanded over the years she has developed an expertise in identifying and valuing a wide variety of items as well as researching obscure pieces. 

Following the 9/11 attack in 2001, she started a grassroots organization to provide safety equipment to first responders. This quickly grew into the largest supply operation at Ground Zero. 

​

A few years ago London established a north Florida estate sales business, and when the Covid pandemic hit she needed to find a way to continue to help her customers clear out their homes. This led to her creating her first online auction for an estate sale. After the Covid restrictions were lifted and she went back to in-person estate sales, she used her online auction site for selling off the items that remained after the sale. Hence “The After Auction” was launched! 

​

London realized that auctioning off the remaining items didn't just serve the purpose of cleaning out her clients’ homes, it maximized their profits and created a way for local collectors and resellers to get great deals.  Whether you are planning to bid in our online clearance auctions, or looking for a way to clean out your own space, you’ve come to the right place!
