We are about a month away from the 32nd Annual Check the Oil Show and Auction in Columbus, Ohio!

The host hotel and all exhibitor spaces are sold out, it should be a great show! There is a Ramada Inn at the same exit that should still have rooms available, phone number is 614-890-8111.

Auction to be held Saturday June 23, 2018 at 10:00 am EST. Online bidding available at www.proxibid.com/checktheoil

See you there!

A great show and one I certainly won't miss. Too bad there isn't more vendor space.

...awesome show! Here's the design for this year's t-shirt, available for purchase from Check The Oil!

ok guys ,this will be my first time going to CTO and to a gas/oil show.We will be there Friday morning,what do I need to know?On a side question,what about food?restaurants or food vendors nearby?

...bring plenty of cash, and any extras you have to sell/trade...find me if you have any nice Gulf stuff


...this is the first year at this location - but if this hotel is anything like the last one, they'll have a restaurant...here's a screen shot of the surrounding area (hotel is the red teardrop; restaurants are the orange teardrops)...

I see the dates for the show are 6/21 to 6/23. When do vendor sales start?

...Thursday, the 21st - as soon as folks get checked in, according to the schedule:

Are sellers going to be out in the parking lot all day Saturday, even though the auction is going on and everything tends to end early? I have to work all day Friday, and I'm reluctant to bring a fist full of cash on Saturday if half of everyone has already packed up. I went to CTO last year and it rained like heck that day and most sellers were packed up. It sucked.

Well how about some pictures ?

Here are a few:

Thanks again for taking the time to post these!

ditto .. ...

THank you

Thanks for the pics!! But I sure hope someone else took some more. The show had to be bigger than this.

We missed you Coppens...sorry you couldn't make it to the show. I forgot to bring my camera. I did take a few pics with my phone that I can post later.

Believe me Brian, I missed it more than you missed me!!!

Trying to find auction results, does anyone know where to find them?

Les, I found it by going to the link in the first post of this thread...it will then take you to the Check the Oil Promotions proxi page. If you look under where it will say "There are no current events for this seller" there is a box that says Show archived events. If you click on that box, you will see the past auctions with last weekends at the top.

Or, next to search box on proxi page, select browse by date. Select June 23, scroll to auction in question for results.

Or, just click this link
