Scott Perry & Company

Company History

Jack B. Perry Back in 1965, our father, Jack B. Perry, attended auction school in Kansas City, Missouri. He graduated and returned to the Western New York area and started his own auction business, Jack Perry's Auction Service. For the next 20 years he held a weekly consignment auction on Thursday nights in Wilson, NY.

As the business grew, so did his reputation. He sold all around the New York State, was a board member of the New York State Auctioneers Association, and sold all types or property, from antiques and estates to farms and machinery. A good example of his work is the article from the Union Sun and Journal regarding his sale of the Dora Taylor Estate in Lockport NY. It was a family run business from his 3 daughters (Sue, Sonja and Kim) to his son-in-law (Jim). His oldest son Scott started out working the bottom rung of the auction ladder like all the rest of the auctioneers before him…selling popcorn, as did Jack's youngest son, TJ for a quarter a bag.

As Scott matured, he also attended auction school in Kansas City Missouri. In 1982 he graduated and came back to sell auctions side by side with Jack for the rest of the time.

Scott eventually took over the business in 1985 and has steadily been growing the business up to the present day. Eventually, Scott hopes with the addition of his two children that he will see the business pass on to a third generation.
