This auction will incorporate a "SOFT CLOSE". Bidding within the last minute before the closing of an item will extend the bidding time by an additional minute. This prevents individuals from placing a bid on an item at the last second in order to prevent others from bidding more.

We value our customer's safety greatly. We are making a few changes regarding pick-up/checkout for our auction that closes 3/26/2020. In accordance with Governor Walz's mandate 3/25/2020, we will be altering our checkout. We are asking our local buyers who usually pick their items up to please contact Richard at Koons Auction & Appraisals by phone (507) 236-2902 or email at koonsonline@koonsauction.com to make payment and pick-up arrangements. We will offer free storage for your items until after the "Shelter in Place" mandate is lifted, at which time we will have a scheduled pick-up day. If pick-up does not work for you, we will ship your items, at your expense. This will not affect those of you who already intended to have your items shipped. We thank you very much for your understanding. Please stay safe and practice your "Social Distancing." Richard Koons & Family Ryan Berndt & Family
