Welcome to our Auctions, Online Bidding or Live and Onsite. These apply to any and all items of a personal property nature including vehicles or equipment.
Auctioneer is an agent for our Seller(s) / Clients in every event. Anyone who meets the registration criteria for an event may bid for all being offered. Including but not limited to auctioneer, all helpers or staff. They pay and win as well being the last and highest bidder. We reserve the right to bid in behalf of and for the interest of our client.

Each and every lot offered by single or group is SOLD AS IS. NO Exceptions. We do our best to provide adequate pictures and info and descriptions for you to make a judgement. Often items may have an imperfection we cannot see or find. They are still AS IS. This is an Auction and not a shopping experience. Absolutely NO RETURNS or Chargebacks of any nature. Anyone who registers with false information, PO Box address, or invalid CC Account will be declined permanently as a bidder in all events.
We do a lot of research and study for significant items especially of an antique or historical item. Often we may be wrong however not for lack of trying.
The Bidding system we rent for each event. It is not designed or structured by auctioneer. Please look at all notices and information and satisfy your own understanding before bidding. If anyone seeks to game the auctioneer or the portal, you will be declined as a bidder.
Descriptions are our best view and understanding and may or may not meet your expectations. You may have your own opinion and we welcome that. It will not influence how we run our events.
Please understand that our number of events, our numbers of bidders still continues to grow. Anyone who meets registration criteria may bid on any and every lot they desire. This includes anyone, helpers or other. They too may bid on anything of their interest. Many patrons bid at different levels on dozens of lots. For reasons known only to them.
We have used this system now for 6 years. From time to time someone makes an underhanded suggestion concerning running the bids or other ideas they have. Any and all questions we will answer to the best of our ability. If it is your opinion that our auctions are somehow rigged? Please do not participate. Questions may be addressed by email to the auctioneer only!
You must be registered to bid. You must have a valid card to register. Debit cards accepted as well.
Increments are shown in the catalog. Remember there may be many bidders bidding even many days before an event is closing.

This is how it works. As events begin to close on the scheduled Auction Date
