Mesa Auction House: Buying Tips for Auctions, Part 2

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Avoid making common mistakes made by Mesa Auction buyers by following our auction buyer tips. Read up on laws, rules, bidding tips and buyer rights below:

Auction Buyer Tip #4: The moment the auctioneer says “sold,” the ownership of the item being auctioned has changed hands. This is the law. If your merchandise is later stolen, you will still have to pay for it. It is no different than having your wallet or purse stolen while shopping at a store.

Auction Buyer Tip #5: Know what you are bidding on by closely inspecting each item before the Mesa auction. This is why an auction preview is offered. Use your own evaluation as your bidding guide, not the auctioneer’s description or other bidders’ comments. You are buying the merchandise “AS IS” with no guarantees of any kind from the seller or auctioneer. The risk of the item not being what you wanted should be factored into your bidding amount.

Auction Buyer Tip #6: A fast-moving Mesa auction benefits both buyers and sellers. Auctioneers have the right to reject any bid amount that would slow the bidding. Auctioneers cannot wait for slow bidders, so know in advance what to buy and how much to spend. Your inability to keep up with the bidding pace is not the auctioneers’ concern.

Scottsdale Auction House: Buying Tips for Auctions, Part 1

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Auction buyer tips will help you avoid common mistakes made by Scottsdale auction buyers. Read up on laws, rules, bidding tips and buyer rights below:

Auction Buyer Tip #1: Do not mistake Scottsdale auctions for retail sales. The two have very little in common. Auctions are different from retail because auctions are governed by federal laws, state laws, Uniform Commercial Codes and city ordinances. When you bid at a Scottsdale auction you actually enter a legal contract.

Auction Buyer Tip #2: You must have a bidder’s card in order to buy at the Scottsdale auction. To obtain a bidder’s card, you must put down a deposit for a bid card. This insures that you will pay for all your purchases that you bid on. Once you pay for your items or decide to leave the auction without purchasing any items, your deposit is immediately returned to you. If you do bid and win, your deposit is applied to the purchases.

Auction Buyer Tip #3: Be careful when you bid on lots. Know how much you are bidding and whether you are bidding against your spouse, parent, sibling or friend. Although you can retract a bid while the bidding is open, you cannot retract it once the auctioneer has said “sold.” Auctioneers expect you to take full responsibility for your bids.

Arizona Auctions Differ From Those on eBay

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Auction Systems’ Arizona auctions are different from eBay auctions in several ways. Auction Systems does not allow users to post public auctions to their site. Auction Systems controls all the products they sell as an agent for their selling clients. Auction Systems acts as a marketing and advertising expert for those who sell in their Arizona auctions. This allows sellers to gain maximum exposure and attracts the highest bidders to their public auctions.

Auction Systems also offers sellers the opportunity to publicly auction their merchandise over the Internet and live. Auction Systems’ Internet or simulcast cast auctions end date and time is actually the beginning of their live Arizona auctions. So if a live auction starts on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. MST, that is when the first lot in that public auction will be offered for bid to the live bidder competing against the Internet bidder until the last bid for the item is over and then the item is sold.
