About

A personal touch on every auction.

Janes Auctions LLC was founded by Jennifer Janes right here in Lerna, Illinois, with a simple belief: every item has a story, and the right buyer is out there waiting for it.

Jennifer brings a personal, hands-on approach to every sale — from the careful cataloguing of estate items to the thoughtful presentation that gives bidders confidence in what they're buying. Whether it's a farmhouse full of antiques or a carefully curated collection of tools and primitives, she treats each consignment with the same care she'd give her own.

Based in Coles County, Janes Auctions LLC serves sellers and buyers across central Illinois, hosting all auctions on HiBid.com — a trusted online bidding platform with real-time bidding and accessible listings.
