Kobza Online Auctions, based in David City, Nebraska, helps find new homes for old farm equipment that is discovered during barn or machine shed cleanouts. The business is owned by John Kobza and his wife, with involvement from many family members. They primarily sell on AuctionTime, a division of Sandhills Publishing in Lincoln, where online bidding takes place every Wednesday starting at 10 a.m.
The Kobza family has been in the auction business for over 50 years, with the online aspect becoming increasingly popular in recent years. They have sold over 51,000 items in the 8 years they’ve been operating, with 14,000 items sold each of the last two years. They have a team of eight family members working together, selling items ranging from coins to bulldozers, specializing in farm antiques and retired farm equipment.
Recently, the family moved into a new building previously owned by AKRS Equipment, giving them more space to store items under cover. The new location will allow for more opportunities to expand their business. For more information about Kobza Online Auctions, visit their website at kobzaonlineauctions.com.
