Auctions & Auctioneers

Auctions & Auctioneers have been around since the beginning of time because they are a highly efficient and effective business tool – and they meet the needs of the public. But, they also are fun, entertaining and theatrical. Most people who attend an auction keep wanting to go back again and again.

Welcome to the Board Rick Sammons!

Rick was introduced to the auction business as a summer job after his senior year of high school in 1987. He has been in and around the auction industry the entire time since then, but he pursued other interests and opportunities during the early years of his career. It wasn’t until 2009 that he stopped everything else and devoted all of his attention to his auction business.

While serving as an Implementation Specialist at Bidspotter, he worked with several other auction firms around the country. Shortly after leaving Bidspotter, he formed Bullseye Auction Group and partnered with many of the firms he’d worked with to provide a full service package for his clients on a national scale.

About five years ago, Scott Schwartz joined Rick as partner and they changed the name of the business to Bullseye Auction & Appraisal. Bullseye works with banks, lenders, attorneys and bankruptcy trustees to provide solutions for their appraisal and liquidation needs.
Rick grew up in Tucker, GA and now lives in Dacula. He has been married to his wife Deborah for 23 years. They have three children; Austin who is 21, twins Madison and Nicholas who are 18, their dog Boogie and Presley the cat.

Rick is actively involved in many charitable organizations and has served as President of the Gwinnett County Special Olympics and President of Archer Athletic Association. He has served as President and/or Vice President of River Bend Homeowners Association for the past 15 years! ... See MoreSee Less
