Owner Paul Brown grew up never wanting to be in the antiques business. In fact, he was pretty sure he'd be the youngest member of the Rolling Stones ... until the whole "no musical talent" thing sank in.

Responsible for handling all inventory, office manager Cindy Shook tags every piece of the 500 lots a week that the auction house takes in. She's also responsible for collecting money from winning bidders.

Jon Hammond beat out a field of nearly 100 candidates when he answered a cryptic post on Craigslist for an assistant-manager position.

An employee of Gallery 63 since it opened, Delfino Ramos came on as temporary help, but his infectious smile, perpetual good attitude and undeniable talent led Paul to hire him, despite not having an opening at the time.

Before an auction, Gallery 63 is floor-to-ceiling stuff, everything from paintings and jewelry to rugs and vampire-killing kits.

Paul Brown's strategy? Selling a lot of things at an affordable price, as opposed to selling a few things at a high price.

Cindy and Paul examine items as they come right off the truck. Gallery 63 has become well-known for its unique, high-end items.
