The Implosion of Trump Plaza for Charity

Atlantic City has been an entertainment destination for residents all along the East Coast, and as a tourist attraction, this place has built a unique and diverse history. As the city continues to develop into the 21st century, room must be made for new and exciting businesses and community endeavors. That is why, after 36 years, Atlantic City has decided to implode the old Trump Plaza.

Completed in 1984, Trump Plaza was long considered an ideal hotel and casino to spend time relaxing along the Jersey Shore. With state-of-the-art accommodations for its time, the Trump Plaza was a beacon of prosperity and the American dream. Yet, in recent years the Trump Plaza has remained vacant and in a state of disrepair. All good things must come to an end, and so Atlantic City has decided to go ahead with the demolition of this icon of the 1980s.

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
