Holiday shoppers flock to Las Vegas auction warehouse for last-minute deals

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Holiday shopping is in full swing. At one warehouse in the Las Vegas Valley, thousands of customers a day are lining up to pick up items they won online in an auction at prices they say can’t be beat.

Quinton Stephenson has been shopping at NellisAuction.com for a decade and says the deals can’t be beat.

“You can find just about anything on the website, and you can usually save, you know, 30, 50, up to 70 percent pretty easily,” Stephenson said. “I picked up a 10-man Coleman tent for my son. He likes to camp a lot. I think it was like 66 bucks, and it was like a 300 and something dollar tent,” he said.

Wide selection and quick pickup process

They have more than 50,000 items up for bid in Las Vegas alone, with tens of thousands more at other locations. It all starts on the website.

“And there they can find kind of any item you can think of. TVs, hair dryers, toothpaste. We sell anything and everything that you can think of. They’re going to bid online. And when they win it, they’re going to come and they’re going to pick up through our curbside pickup process,” said Kyle Johnson, chief communications officer.

More than 3,000 customers alone stopped by the site on Dean Martin Tuesday alone. In the rain, they checked in and the items they won in the auction were loaded in their vehicles. Many times in less than 5 minutes.

Return policy draws repeat customers

What keeps many shoppers coming back, is the auction’s rare return policy.

“I can return things for just about any reason at all. So there’s no, you don’t have to pay to return something. There’s, there’s no fee for it. Um, so there’s like no risk,” Stephenson said.

The auction started as a mom-and-pop shop on Nellis Boulevard with one pallet. Now they have thousands upon thousands of pallets with tens of thousands of items.

Oregon lands commitment from Nevada punter

Oregon has found its next Australian punter.

Bailey Ettridge, who averaged 44.66 yards on 47 punts at Nevada this season, committed to transfer to the Ducks on Sunday. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining.

From Lara, Australia, Ettridge had 15 punts over 50 yards and 18 inside opponents’ 20-yard lines this season. He also had two carries for 26 yards, both of which converted fourth downs.

Ettridge replaces James Ferguson-Reynolds, who is averaging 41.64 yards on 33 punts for UO this season. Ferguson-Reynolds and Ross James are both out of eligibility after the season.

Ettridge is the first scholarship transfer to Oregon this offseason and his addition gives the Ducks 81 projected scholarship players in 2026. He is the lone punter presently on the roster.

No. 1 Indiana (14-0) vs. No. 5 Oregon (13-1)
