How to Bid
Bidding in our Live Auctions
For our live auctions, just show up on auction day at the location and register for a bidder number. Bid your price on the items you want. Checkout and take your items home.
Bidding in Our Online Auctions
For our online auctions, register on our website for a New Bidder Account. Then you can place bids in any of our online auctions. When the auction ends, your card will be charged for any items where you are the winning bidder. Be sure to read the auction details to see when the preview open house day is and when you need to come pick up your items.
