About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Texans were still dreaming of cowboys and barbecue, a delivery driver pulled up to Texas Lone Star Auto Auction. The yard was quiet except for the distant hum of engines, but something felt off—an eerie silence hung over the usually bustling auction grounds. As he approached the office door, he heard a voice from inside: 'Hey, delivery guy! Do you know where they keep the coffee around here?' Turns out, it was just a neighbor stopping by for an early morning cup. The driver smiled, realizing that even in this mysterious place, life goes on as usual.

2. At dusk, when most auction-goers had already left, an old pickup truck pulled up to Texas Lone Star Auto Auction. Its headlights illuminated a lone figure stepping out—an anonymous neighbor who’d been watching from across the street for weeks. The neighbor approached the truck with a big smile and said, ‘Hey there, stranger! Been admiring your ride for some time now.’ The driver nodded shyly, then sheepishly added, ‘Actually, I was just dropping off my old truck for you—thought it might come in handy around here.’ Turns out, they were neighbors after all.

3. At midnight, when Texas auction halls usually sleep, a soft humming sound echoed through the empty aisles of Texas Lone Star Auto Auction. A regular, dozing in his truck, suddenly sat upright—was it the wind or something more unusual? Suddenly, an old pickup pulled into view, its headlights casting eerie shadows on the dusty walls. The regular squinted, then laughed aloud as he recognized his neighbor's dog, Rex, who had apparently decided that tonight was his night for adventure. 'Rex!' he called, shaking his head. 'Always finding new ways to surprise us.'

4. At noon, when the sun beat down on the dusty lot like a Texas cattle drive, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package. As he approached the auction house, a strange scent lingered in the air—something between gasoline and freshly baked pie. As he opened it, a small card read: ‘Happy Fourth of July from your neighbor!’ Inside was a pie—and outside were ten old cars nobody wanted. The auctioneer scratched his head and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, today’s special is…Pie or Cars? Your choice!” Everyone laughed, and that day became legendary for its unique auction format.
