Please Make a Note in the “Notes to Auctioneer” screen if you would like to pay cash or check, if we are not notified.

Please Note: the address on the registration must match the mailing address on file with your credit card company. We will confirm all information is entered correctly prior accepting your bids.
Soft Close: This is a soft close auction meaning two key points: 1) all items feature a stagger of 10 seconds between each lot ending. 6 items will close each minute 2) If an item is bid on within the last 2 minutes of the auction, the lot will automatically get extended for an additional 2 minutes. Additional time will continue to be added until no additional bids have been placed.
