Welcome to Auction 101.  Here are the few easy steps to help you look and act like a professional auction attendee.  

1. Registering to bid

2. Bidding

3. Paying

4. Picking up or shipping your property

You've found that item you must have on our online catalog or live at our auction house and are ready to bid. Making a purchase is simple. To bid online follow the simple instructions on the current auction site.  To bid in person you will need to register prior to or during the auction.  Please note there is a $100.00 deposit required to bid.  This is fully refundable in the event you are not a successful bidder.  We can also take a major credit card for deposit.  Don't forget to give us your email address so you can be notified of future auctions.  After registering you will receive a bidders card, this will be used to place your bids. Simply raise your bidder card until the auctioneer acknowledges you. You will know when your bid has been acknowledged; the auctioneer will not mistake a random gesture for a bid. The bidding increments are decided by the auctioneer, and will usually not exceed ten percent of the previous bid. The auctioneer will take increasing bids on each lot, until only one bidder remains. The final bidder purchases the lot.

Bring boxes and wrapping paper for your treasures.

All of our auctions are no reserve and no minimum bid.

Absentee bids will be accepted if you are unable to attend the auction in person. Give us a call for details.

If you have bid online but then are attending our auction please make certain that you are not bidding against your online bid.  The online bids close at 3:00 PM the day of the auction, those bids are combined with any absentee bids and a clerk on the auction floor represents the bids. The auctioneer does not know what the bids are and has no control of the results of the online / absentee bids.

Successful online and absentee bidders will be notified by an emailed invoice at the close of the auction, at this time the credit card on file will be used to complete the transaction.  If items require shipping charges will be added to the invoice.  Shipping is generally within 4 days after close of auction.

Telephone bids are accepted on an as needed basis. Please contact us for more information.

Buyers premium is 13% with a discount of 3% when payment is Cash or Debt Card.

Sales tax is 8.8%    Please bring your resale permit for business transactions.

Firearms require a background check unless you have a concealed weapons permit for the state of Arizona or hold a Federal Firearms License which is on file with our office.

We ask that all items are paid for at close of auction and that everything is removed within 7 days from close of auction.
