Customers will have the opportunity to score books, board games, dolls, action figures, crafts and the like from brands such as Disney, Mattel, Hasbro, Crayola, Fisher-Price and Barbie, with no minimum price and each item going to the highest bidder. The auction kicks off online at 10 a.m. on May 16 and runs until May 23, with an in-person preview date on May 22 at 381 Kennedy Road, Door #12. Samko & Miko's website, meanwhile, already appears to be taken down amid the bankruptcy proceedings.
