Central Massachusetts | Auctions for Antiques, Estates, & Collectibles

As you’d expect of a business named Central Mass Auctions, we’re based in the heart of the state – in Worcester.  Owner Wayne Tuiskula is a native of Leicester.

Though we work with clients across MA, the “core” of our business long has come from clients in and around Worcester County (e.g. LunenburgBolton, Northborough, Holden, Athol), in western Middlesex and Norfolk counties, and in eastern Franklin County.

Here in the Worcester area, typically it’s easy to conduct a live auction with great turnout in bidders.  A recent example is our December 2022 auction of the collection of Steve Rotman, avid collector of Worcester historical memorabilia and president of Rotmans Furniture in Worcester.

Many of our auctions are held online.  For instance, our highly successful October 2020 auction of coins – many gold and silver pieces – from an Orange, MA estate was a recent example of an online-only auction.

We’re known for one thing most of all: helping clients get the most for their estate contents, antiques, collections, and other valuables – whether in a live auction, an online auction, an estate sale, or through a combination of the two.  We’ve done it for nearly two decades.

Please take a moment to browse our services, see the specialty auctions we run, and to read clients’ reviews (on this site or online).

To get the maximum return for your estate contents, collection or other valuables, please call Central Mass Auctions at 508-612-6111, or email us.

“I have used Central Mass Auctions on two occasions and have been surprised and pleased at the positive outcome. I would call my odds and ends “oddball stuff” which resulted in some welcome money due to Wayne’s effort. He seems to have a real feel for what buyers are looking for.”
—Karen Nelson, Shrewsbury (as reviewed on Google)

“Wayne and Central Mass Auctions are extremely professional in handling estate merchandise at auction. Honesty and knowledge are Wayne’s trademarks. I have had only great experiences as a consignor and as a buyer.”
—Morris Bergman, Worcester (as reviewed on Facebook)

“Wayne certainly knows his antiques, no question about it. He looks things over precisely, remarks on the condition and then tells you what he thinks it is worth. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my antiques, Wayne is the best.”
—June Barrus Kemp, Leicester (as reviewed on Facebook)

“Reliable. Always returned my emails in a timely fashion. Also, got great prices for the items. Would highly recommend.”
