In Person
We require you to pre-register by providing your billing information no later than 48 hours prior to the auction. On the day of the sale please arrive in sufficient time to present identification , sign the registration form and receive your bidding paddle. Raise your paddle when you wish to bid and wait for the auctioneer to acknowledge you. If anyone else wishes to acquire the lot, they will bid against you by the same means. The auctioneer will continue taking increasing bids from each interested party until all but one person drops out. The final bidder is the successful buyer and the auctioneer indicates that the lot is sold by knocking down the gavel on the rostrum and declaring the final hammer price. If bidding fails to reach the reserve (the minimum price the seller is prepared to accept), the item is unsold, and the auctioneer will indicate this by saying "pass" and moving on to the next lot.
