- Our website runs auctionworx software by Rainworx. Since 2002, they have been a global leader in the online auction software industry. We are constantly revising & updating our website to better suit our clients. We appreciate any and all feedback.
- If any item has a reserve, it will note this in the description. We do not utilize the software’s automatic reserve system because it limits our ability to sell the item if a seller decides they will take less. This means you may see the lot say “No reserve,” by the bidding box yet the description states there is a reserve. We do not and will not disclose the reserve to any buyer. We actively work with our sellers to ensure they are ready to sell and have a reasonable market value reserve for any item.

The auction company also reserves the right to sell all of the items listed in bulk.
Bidding:
We use shared servers which may encounter downtime and browsing speed issues. To avoid missing out, we strongly recommend that you place your bid early in the auction. The proxy bidding system will not reveal your maximum bid amount to other bidders, and will place bids at the minimum increments as needed during the progress of the auction.
In the rare case of internet downtime problems or extreme site slowness near the conclusion of the auction, we may re-open the bidding and and/or extend the auction. This occurs very rarely. In this case only, any emails notifying winning bidders of auction results are null and void for those affected auctions.
