Your bid will be treated as a Proxy bid, meaning that our staff will bid for you as if you were in the crowd bidding for yourself. The attending bidders will open the bid and our staff will bid for you in the same increments that the attending bidders are raising. If your absentee bid is the high bid at the fall of the hammer, you will pay what the last bid is on that item.

We will not enter your bid as the opening bid and will not raise the bid to your high bid just because we know your high bid. Please feel confident in leaving the maximum bid you are willing to pay for the item and we will buy that item for you at the best price possible. It is our feeling that by treating absentee bids in this manner we are working in the best interest of our sellers by getting them at least one more bid on their items then they would have received if we had not accepted your absentee bids.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS!!!

When placing an absentee bid we request that you:

1. Description of the item(s) plus if there are pictures please send the picture number.

2. Your Name, Address, Daytime, Evening and cell phone numbers

3. A signed blank check, the amount on the check will be filled in on the day of the auction for
the amount of your purchases plus expenses (see following note). We will contact you and let
you know the amount of that check
4. For larger more expenses items we will need your BANK’S NAME – PHONE NUMBER –
CONTACT OFFICER.

NOTE: There is a 10% buyer’s premium on all absentee bids, plus expenses, Shipping and Handling charges etc.
