Auction before. What do I do?

Q: Do you deliver items that
I purchase?
|
|
A: Unfortunately, we do not. We are
so busy picking up great finds for you, that we simply
do not have the time. However, we can suggest several
companies that would love to deliver. Ok, Ok so some of
the guys have pickup trucks and you may be able to
arrange an AFTERHOURS delivery. Be sure and throw them a
few bucks, they have families, too.

|
Q: Should I preview before
the sale?
|
|
A: We highly encourage preview the
week before the sale. It makes for a happy consignor and
a happy buyer. Please bring your experts to preview
because after the sale, it's too late.
|
|
|
|
Q: Do you sell high end
items?
|
|
A: At our last jewelry auction, we
sold a GIA certified internally flawless 8 Carat
Diamond. The buyer was happy, the consignor was happy,
ergo we're happy. We've sold Tiffany lamps, important
paintings by listed artists and furniture made for
royalty.
|
|
|
|
Q: What's the most unusual
item you have ever sold?
|
|
A: Well, ....we think it was a piece
of exercise equipment but it may have had a more
prurient purpose. It vibrated - need I say more? When
Elmer straddled it on stage, it sent the first three
rows into a fit of hysteria. The staff wanted to keep
the "piece", but we are always looking out for our
customers and we had to let it go......Please don't
bring it back.
