Online Estate Sales & Auctions in New York City, NY

In New York City, where brownstones line the streets and skyscrapers hold stories from generations past, every item tells a tale. Maybe it’s the antique furniture tucked away in a Chelsea apartment, or a sterling silver coin passed down through a family in Queens — either way, estate sales and auctions in this city are never just about “stuff.” They’re about legacy, emotion, and rediscovery. And with Bodnar’s Auction, the stories continue, just with a new narrator. In one Manhattan Estate, Bodnar’s managed an entire collection of timeless treasures from the NYC theater district, including many items directly from Broadway.

For seasoned collectors, first-time buyers, and anyone caught up in the thrill of the find, NYC’s estate sales scene offers an unmatched mix of history and opportunity. The city’s ever-evolving skyline may change, but the need for a trusted auction house to guide these transitions remains. That’s where Bodnar’s Auction steps in — with heart, expertise, and a commitment to making the estate liquidation process seamless, respectful, and rewarding. Over the past 30 years, we have done countless estates not only in NYC, but across all five boroughs, from entire antique stores and toy collections in Brooklyn to antique artwork and art decor in Manhattan.

I’m happy with everything Joe and Janet did, you were both informative and were very helpful with the questions I had being that I was never in that position before. Janet’s response time was also positive for me. It was interesting to watch the auction live. I thought you did an amazing job and had a nice banter back and forth. You seem to be a good team! Thank you for all your hard work and making this difficult time of letting  my deceased father’s collectibles go an easy experience.

I would like to thank you for including me in your online sale.
Everything from none contact drop off, to none contact pick up, was handled with the outmost professionalism.
I appreciated your clear communication after the sale with a printout and an explanation of when I’ll receive my check.
Overall I was very please with the prices my jewelry achieved, some lot  went for less then I expected, others went for more, it’s all in the average.

Thank you very much

I come to your auctions often. You and your staff are great. Your change to an online auction on 4/9 is just another testament to your fine character and being thoughtful of others. The items are great no doubt, but a big reason I keep coming back is due to the culture you have created. Thank you. Art
