How do I bid?

• Minimum bid is $5.00 at most Auctions

• $10.00 minimum bid at the Commercial/Industrial Auction

• Bids are increased at a minimum of $2.50

• Be Seen! Hold your hand or bid card high!

• Keep your bid card handy, the auctioneer will need to know your number when you make a purchase.

• Listen to the auctioneer. He will explain what is being auctioned and will inform you of all the pertinent information he has on the item and how many he has to offer.

What happens when there is more than one item?

• The auctioneer will tell you if you are bidding on an individual item (priced by the piece) or a “lot” (several items grouped together and priced as one).

• The highest bidder has the choice of how many and which items he wants to take.

• The back bidder (the person who bid immediately prior to the final bid) then gets second choice, then the back-back bidder and so on. When all bidders have been exhausted, the remainder is open for the crowd. This is a first come, first serve situation so hold up your bid card quickly. The auctioneer will choose who picks next. He has full control and final say and will maintain fairness.

What happens to my merchandise after I bid on it?

• Once an item is sold it is taken to the security area.

• You may retrieve your merchandise at the security pick up area once you have paid and received your receipt.

• Delivery for large items is available at an additional charge.  See the staff at the security area for details.

• Buyers are responsible for their goods as soon as purchased at the Pickers Sale and Commercial Industrial Auction

General Tips
