1.) REGISTER - You can participate in the bidding for items being sold by registering at our Registration Counter and receiving a Bidder Book cataloging the items being auctioned. You must show a valid government ID (Driver's License) to register and bid. Once you have registered, you will receive a book that has your Bidder Number on it. Keep this book!
2.) BID - You bid on items during the auction by raising your Bidder Book and gaining the attention of the several "Ring Men" that look for Buyers' signals. If you are the highest bidder, its yours!
3.) PAY - After you have bid on all your items, go to the Payment Counter by the Registration Counter and show them your Bidder Book with your Bidder Number. They will give you a total of what you bought and any fees or taxes that must be paid with the items' sale price. Fees include Title transfers, Buyers premiums or load fees, if applicable, that are noted in the Bidder Book. State taxes and fees must also be paid, if applicable. Next, a valid form of payment must be made. Cash, Checks (With Bank Letter for amounts over $1,000.00), Credit Cards (Visa & Mastercard are accepted) or Wire Transfers are valid forms of payment.

Online Auctions - Bidding through our Web Site
Online auctions through our web site can be "LIVE" or "Proxy Bid Only". With the "LIVE" auction you are bidding with the Buyers who attend the auction in person as well as other Internet Bidders. During this, you bid on the items during the auction. With the "Proxy Bid Only" you submit a minimum and maximum bid for each individual item up to a certain "cutoff" time. To participate you have to have the right Browser and Java configuration, as well as a bank letter of credit. See Details...
1.) REGISTER - You must register and "BE APPROVED BEFORE THE DAY OF THE AUCTION!!!" The process starts by clicking on the "Register" button above or CLICK HERE. Fill out all the information on the form and "Submit" the form. It's important that you accept and understand the "Terms of the auction". You will receive an e-mail confirming your registration after you register. YOU ARE NOT APPROVED YET! You must meet the Payment Requirements for the auction and receive an e-mail confirming you are able to participate. Without the approval, YOU CANNOT BID!!
2.) BID - If you want to bid "LIVE", on the day of the auction, you click on the auction and login to the web site using your email and password. You will see the current item being bid on and its current bid price. A button on top will tell you what price you must bid. Click on that button if you would like to bid. You will see if you are currently the highest or if someone else has bid higher. If you are the highest, you bought it! For "Proxy Bid Only", you submit your minimum and maximum bids for each item before the cutoff deadline. These bids will be submitted and the highest bid buys the item. Because of Internet delays or other factors affecting the speed of your Internet connection, bidding is sometimes slower than the live auction bidding. THE FLOOR WILL OVERRIDE THE INTERNET IF THE BIDS COME IN AT THE SAME TIME OR THE AUCTIONEER SAYS "SOLD" BEFORE YOUR BID COMES IN!!
3.) PAY - You will be contacted by IRAY to submit payment and arrange the removal of the item. Payment for items must be made immediately after the auction according to the Payment Requirements.
4.) TAKE YOUR ITEM - You will be contacted by IRAY to arrange shipping or pickup details. You must remove the items within 10 days of the auction, unless other arrangements can be made.
