Several items of lesser value may be grouped together for a combined value of $25. Small or grouped items should be securely packaged in plastic and/or securely attached to each other to form one item. Small short rolls of shrink wrap work well and can be purchased at local hardware stores.  Try to arrange items so all parts can easily be seen by the bidders. Small items must be placed in a zip lock bag and must be stapled shut.
  11. Pricing Your Items – You have 2 options for pricing your items: MINIMUM PRICE and/or BUY IT NOW PRICE
    a. MINIMUM PRICE – All items for sale must list a MINIMUM price, no lower than $25. The MINIMUM should be set to the lowest price that the Seller is willing to accept during the live auction. When the item goes up for auction, no item will be sold for less than the minimum specified – without the seller’s approval. It may be necessary to contact you during the auction, so be sure to list your cell number on your REGISTRATION FORM.  If there are no offers of, at least, the specified minimum bid the item will be sent to a PASS Table (Pass Table explained below).
    b. BUY-IT-NOW –  All items for sale must list a Buy-It-Now price, allowing all items for sale to be purchased before going to the auction block. The BUY-IT-NOW price is set above the minimum and is set at a level that the Seller feels the item will sell at during the live auction. This allows those buyers that may not be able to stay for the full auction the opportunity to acquire an item that the seller feels is a fair price. BUY-IT-NOW prices may not be added or changed after an item has been checked in.
  12. IMPORTANT NOTE – Minimum price and/or a BUY-IT-NOW price must be listed on the item label AND on your CUSTOMER FORM.
  13. PASS TABLE – Please use good judgment when setting minimum prices. If any item does not receive a winning bid, it will be sent to the PASS TABLE. At the PASS TABLE, the BUY-IT-NOW prices are no longer in effect and items may be purchased for the MINIMUM.  Buyer may make offers less than specified item minimums subject to negotiation with the seller.
  14. THIS IS A ONE-DAY AUCTION ONLY. ALL UNSOLD ITEMS, ANY NEWLY PURCHASED ITEMS, PAYMENTS DUE AND PICKING UP YOUR CHECK FOR SOLD ITEMS – MUST ALL BE DONE NO LATER THAN 3 PM ON SATURDAY.
