The Rusland family has been in the auction business since 1972.

​

Originally started by the late Bill Rusland, live auctions were run out of 216 Hunter St West in downtown Peterborough, now the home of The Only Cafe.

 

Bill was soon joined by his son, Rob, who took over the business entirely in 1991. Accompanied by his wife, Jackie, Rob ran monthly multi-consignor auctions at the Evinrude Centre for many years, as well as frequent on-site estate sales.​​

 

In February 2020, Rusland's relocated a new warehouse at 1012 County Road 19, Peterborough, ON.

​

In the summer of 2026, Rusland's Auctions was purchased by Melinda Richter, formerly of Curated. Melinda is honoured to carry on the Rusland's legacy, providing high quality auction, downsizing, and appraisal services. 

 

Our team specializes in estates, downsizing, and senior transitions. We’ve sold it all: art, antiques, classic cars, jewellery, furniture, and everything in between!

 

We have hundreds of bidders all across Canada and the US, and have shipped items across the world.
