Nickel Mine Auction, which became a staging point for media and emergency workers following the Oct. 2 shootings at the former West Nickel Mines School, is going up for sale.
The property will be sold at auction on April 20, longtime manager Samuel Fisher said Tuesday. DLS Investments, which owns the auction house at 1904 Mine Road, could not be reached for comment.
"I'm quitting, and they're selling," Fisher said. "I'm tired of the 60-hour weeks."
Fisher said he didn't know what businesses might be interested in the property, adding that he might stay on under new owners.
"It depends who buys it," he said.
"Maybe I'll work for them, if there are different terms ... like five-day workweeks."
The auction house is across the street from New Hope School, the Amish schoolhouse that opened this week, six months after the shootings that left five young girls dead and five wounded.
