Chaudion Auction — Session One: Barn Cleanout
Burgess Auctions is honored to present the first session of the Chaudion property
auction, held live on-site in Cicero, Indiana, with online simulcast bidding available
through bidburgess.com. This first sale clears out the barn, with future sessions to
follow.
This one is personal. Long before Burgess Auctions, I spent many Thursday nights working
the ring at Chaudion's Auction in Cicero as a young auctioneer — and Shelia and
Charles W. Chaudion were the ones who gave me that chance. Charlie spent over 50 years as an
auctioneer himself, and Shelia's father was an auctioneer before him. They've been
friends, mentors, and employers to me over the years, and it's an honor to be part of
this sale with them. Every item on this list has passed through hands that
knew exactly what quality looks like.

Chaudion Auction — Session One · Saturday, August 1, 2026 · Cicero, IN
1. Sale Format
This is a live, on-site auction. The great majority of items sell exclusively at the live event, in person, with no online bidding option. A select group of lots, chosen and cataloged in advance, will also be open to online simulcast bidding through bidburgess.com, running concurrently with the live sale.
Live-Only Lots
Simulcast Lots
Sold only to bidders present on-site. No online, phone, or absentee bidding available for these items. This includes the majority of bulk lots, tools, shop contents, and miscellaneous property assembled the day of sale.
A cataloged selection of higher-value or notable items (e.g., tractors, riding mowers, trailers, and similar equipment), open to bidding both in person and online via bidburgess.com. Winning simulcast bidders are announced and confirmed the same as any floor bidder.
Please check the catalog before bidding day. Only lots specifically marked as simulcast items on bidburgess.com will be available online. If you don't see a lot listed there, it is selling live, on-site only.
