Cast

• Paul Brown -- Owner of Gallery 63. Paul is a second-generation auction house owner. At first had no desire to pursue it as a career. However after working at a car wash and earning a college degree in Literature his mind gradually began to change. Paul took a job with his fathers Atlanta-area auction house in 1989. In 2005 the opportunity to buy Gallery 63, just north of the Atlanta city limits, was one he couldn't resist.
  
• Cindy Shook -- Manager. Cindy and Paul first worked together at his fathers auction house in the early 1990s. She functions as both office manager and inventory manager, tagging and cataloging every item for each sale.
  
• Jon Hammond -- Picker. As a "picker" Jon not only helps process items at the Gallery but will often go in search of interesting and unusual items to sell on consignment. A college English major, he bested nearly one hundred other applicants for his assistant managers position.
  
• Delfino Ramos -- Repairman. As Paul has said repeatedly "if Delfino can't fix it no one can." Often items brought to the auction house are in need of cleanup or repairs -- both major and minor -- to increase their sale value. Delfino has been with Gallery 63 since Paul Brown purchased the business.
