Higgenbotham Auctioneers International Ltd., Inc. ("HAI"), announced today that food retailer Marsh Supermarkets will offer 27 surplus properties at auction both in Indianapolis and worldwide via real-time Internet broadcast at 11am, Thursday, November 15th.

These properties will be offered simultaneously at auction in the Holiday Inn Select Grand Ballroom located adjacent to the Indianapolis Airport at 2501 S. High School Road Indianapolis, Indiana and via real-time online bidding at www.NAALive.com.

"Although these properties no longer fit into the future plans of Marsh, they are located in many prime markets around the region with some of the locations being no more than a few years old and fully equipped" stated John Haney, General Manager of HAI. Marsh is expected to use the proceeds of the auction to continue its efforts in renovating and upgrading its operating stores. Haney also stated "people interested in bidding should contact our office immediately to receive property and auction information. Due diligence information, including taxes, zoning, title exceptions as well as other items are available from our office and on our website at www.higgenbotham.com."

"By offering the sale of these properties via the internet, we expand the base of interested buyers, thus giving those who cannot travel to the actual sale site the opportunity to participate in a convenient and secure manner. The NAALive.com application allows bidders to participate in real time as if they were attending the auction in person," said Haney"
