Our inventory changes constantly and includes fine jewelry, watches, electronics, tools, sporting goods, collectibles, lawn and garden equipment, and other high-value merchandise. No two days are exactly the same.

We are looking for someone interested in becoming a valuable, long-term member of our team—not simply someone looking for their next short-term retail job.
