The platform will begin taking bids at noon on Friday June 13th. The final bidding begins to close on Sunday June 22nd at 4PM
Pick-up : Winning bidders should plan to pick-up your items on Monday or Tuesday from 12 noon – 7PM. Arrangements can be made to pick-up larger items.
Winning bidder’s are responsible for the removal & transportation of their items. Some larger items, such as the large beer mug trade sign on the front of the building, will most likely require professional rigging. This will be the responsibility of the winning bidder.
Payment : You will need a credit card on file to register with High Bid. Your purchases will be charged to your card following the end of the auction.
Everything is sold “as is”. It is the bidder’s responsibility to know what you are bidding on. Please look at the pictures, download the equipment list, and attend an open house / preview session !
* Bidding strategies : You can bid once, enter your highest amount you are willing to pay, and the bidding platform will bid competitively for you up to your maximum bid. Example, if you enter a bid of $1,000, but the next highest bid is $700, you would win the item for the next increment over $700.
Or, you can watch the auction as the items begin to close at 4 PM on Sunday June 22nd, and you may then continue to execute bids until your item(s) closes. Every time some bids the closing time of that item is extended by one minute. This discourages sniping and gives all bidders a fair chance.
If you have any questions call the Auctioneer at 603-502-7457.
