Onsite Auctions - Attending in person

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

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 email confirming your registration after you
register. YOU ARE NOT APPROVED YET! You must meet the Payment
Requirements for the auction and receive an email 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 Bidder Number 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.
