What is a timed auction?
                A timed auction is an internet only bidding system, where all items are cataloged and photographed, with detailed descriptions. Bidders register through our website, and bid online for items of interest to them. The auction lasts for ten days to two weeks, and bidders can regularly check on the status of their bids and increase their bids accordingly. At the conclusion of the sale, winning bidders are automatically contacted and notified when to pick up their items.

How does it work?
                If you are a consignor wanting to sell your items, we come to your home, catalogue and photograph all the items for sale. Once the catalogue is posted on our website, we establish a pre-view period at a designated time for the general public to physically preview the items. Our staff is always present to oversee the preview and answer any questions. Bidding is open for online bidders only, for a period of ten days to two weeks, bidding is ended at a specific time, at which time successful bidders are notified and billed automatically for their purchases. Buyers are notified of specific pick up times.

Benefits to Sellers

1. Sellers know exactly when the items will be sold and removed from the premises. This is particularly beneficial when settling an estate or moving, for quick turnaround service.
2. Sellers get increased exposure through the internet, to the marketplace, and are not limited geographically to the local market. This translates into higher prices.
3. Sellers receive full accountability through our services and receive a detailed list of what each item sold for.
4. Sellers can save money, as no moving truck or labour is required to sell online.

Benefits to Buyers

• Buyers are not always available to attend a “LIVE” Auction. With online bidding, they have a greater flexibility with their time, to review and bid on items.
• Buyers can bid from the comfort of their home or office. They have the opportunity to physically preview the items and ask questions. Bidding is only a “Click” away!
