Rock Island Auction Company: The nation’s leading firearms auction house

"I believe we were about 3 years into our relationship when our conversations lead to building a national and international brand name for Rock Island Auction Company. I was skeptical about expending the funds for advertising that you proposed. I was finally convinced to give it a try in late 2006, yet I was still a little hesitant to for our first sale in 2007. At the end of 2007 our sales shattered the industry record by 51 percent. This took our sales from 19 million to 28.6. Frankly I never in my wildest dreams would I have thought 28.6 million was attainable in a calendar year! I stated it was the year that probably would not be topped. The unthinkable is about to happen. Our sales in 2008 will exceed 30 million. I must say that our success is due to many factors; however GWA was a very large part of that success. Over these past three years I have felt that we have become friends and even partners in the success of Rock Island Auction Company. So thank you and your team for helping Rock Island Auction stay #1 in the industry."
