Buying

How to buy

We offer 2 ways of bidding at our auctions- Online or In-person.

In-person:

  • Registration for in-person bidding can be done a few days in advance to beat the crowds on auction day. Registration needs to be done in the office & can not be done online. The bidder paddle number you get upon registration is good only for in-person bidding for that specific auction.
  • ID is needed for registration

Online:

  • Registration for online bidding is done online on the platform the auction is hosted on. We do not recommend doing the registration last minute so that if you run into any problems, they can be worked out before the item you are interested is sold.
  • A valid credit card is required for registration

Payment Options

We accept payment in the forms of:

  • Cash
  • Bank or business check
  • Credit or Debit card
  • Wire transfer
  • Money order

All in-person purchases must be paid for the day of the auction.
All online purchases must be paid for within 5 business days (see online terms for more details)
