If it's a violation of rules to mention them as a competitor, I apologize and understand the deletion.
Has anyone ever gone to one of their auctions. Thinking about attending their December auction as a spectatorfor entertainment purposes. Is it worth going? Has anyone been to one?

Yes and yes. And hell buy something. Just take a roll of Bengis and an FFL. See lots of cool stuff.
I have been to several over past 12 years or so. 8 hour drive for me. I try to go once a year, primarily to one of the regional auctions as those would be much more to my budget. Have bought more there than I should have but a person can get some pretty good deals. Last time I went was June, 2019. They average a sale about every 25 seconds, so if you want something when it comes up, you better be ready to bid or you will get left behind. They do have a lot of phone bidders or pre-bidders.
You can mention them- everyone knows that RIA exists, just don't link in their auctions or watermarked photos into the forum.
I watch the fellow who does the you tube channel forgotten firearms I think he works for or with them
lot of cool guns pass thru his hands and channel . all I have seen he test fires majority of the ones he talks about each show highlights a gun to be auctioned off at some point
interesting
