PADUCAH - Anything and everything at the Executive Inn, the iconic 1980's hotel, is going on the auction block Thursday.

"You're going to find beds, dressers, pictures, and mirrors," Don Hayes explained.

Hayes is President of National Content Liquidators, the company contracted to liquidate the hotel.

He said everything is going to be sold, even doors and doorknobs.

"It's priced to move."

NCL of Springboro, Ohio, is on day 10 of cleaning out the inn.

The ground level now hosts items unique to the hotel, including one of a kind tables, lamps and antiques.  Customers are also welcome to go through over 430 rooms to purchase everything from curtains to furniture.

Hayes promises the "Big E" has some big deals.

"If you want to buy it, I want to sell it," he said.

Doors open Aug. 19 at 10 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.  Hayes suggests getting there early, as only 300 people will be let in at a time.

The sale will continue for 45 days or until everything is sold.  Only cash, Visa, and Mastercard will be accepted.

The city of Paducah said Youngblood Excavating and PRC Environmental are schedule to demolish the building later this year.
