About Bud Haynes & Co.:
Bay # 5,7429-49 Ave.,-Red Deer Alberta, Canada, T4P 1N2

Specializing in Antique & Modern Firearms, Swords, & related Items, we are the oldest established Gun Auction in Canada. We offer a professional service which can include everything from packing, transport, cataloguing, pictures & cleaning & storage as required.

Our Commission rates are very favorable and fully disclosed, with services licenced & bonded in accordance with Alberta Government regulations.
A full accounting & pay-out from our Trust Account within 21 days as required by Alberta Govt. Regulations, (or sooner if you need it under an emergency situation).

We have been handling Estates & “Personal Situations” for many years and because we are a family business, each situation is treated with the utmost discretion and confidentiality. We are pleased to offer references from our many satisfied Clients and would be happy to discuss your special case with you with no obligation or pressure. Some of our Clients, (such as the Fosbery V.C.) waited ten years to decide to sell, and some have wanted things done in a few days so we can tailor your Auction to fit your needs.

Because we handle other types of Auctions, we have the connections to plan Your Auction so that it will be a success. We recently sold an Estate where we trucked the huge Antique collection to our Red Deer Alberta premises, took the Guns to the United States (at the Family’s request), and finished up with a huge Vintage Car, Truck & Tractor Auction at the farm in Saskatchewan that was attended by approximately 2,000 people coming from Nova Scotia to Vancouver Island and also up from the U.S.A.

Some of our Auctions have actually been the results of specific directions left in wills, which we consider a special honor.

If you would like to find out more about our Company, please give us a call.
