How do I pay for items that I buy?
We accept payment in the form of CASH OR CHECK ONLY. Except for real estate sales, you must pay for your items in full on the day of the sale. Real Estate sales requires a non-refundable down payment; check the real estate listing for the exact amount and terms.
Will I get a title if I buy a vehicle, trailer, boat or other titled item?
Yes, you will get a title for any titled item purchased. If you pay cash we will give you your title on the day of the sale. If you pay by check the title can be picked up after the check has cleared. If there are problems related to the title, the auctioneer will clearly state it before the sale of the item.
How do I sell my items at an auction?
We are always looking for new consigners. Please give us a call or come in to discuss the items that you would like to sell. (Please note, we do not accept items commonly classified as yard sale items; clothes, shoes, etc.)
