Each bidder is given a catalog. This lists everything by number that is to be sold, and the order in which it is to be sold. As each item is sold, a clerk notes the lot number, the buyer's number and the selling price. The numbers are entered into our computers on a continual basis. We are never more than 10 numbers behind the actual auction.
Buyers are free to settle their account anytime during the auction.
They simply return to the registration desk, give the clerk their bidder paddle and receive a computer generated invoice. Arrangements are made for payment with most bidders settling on the spot and others leaving a deposit. Removal of items begins as soon as the auction ends. Removal continues for as long as necessary, usually 1 to 2 weeks. Our people are on-site during this period.
