QUESTION: How do I register to bid?

ANSWER: Present your drivers license or government identification with proof of residency at our front office, you will be issued your bidder number at this time. If you are a new bidder and have never registered at our estate sale by auction please tell the clerk that you are a new bidder so that you may be entered into our system, this initial registration process only takes approximately one minute. After our clerk enters you into our system you will be issued a bidder number, this number is only good for the sale date which it has been issued.

QUESTION: How do I bid on an item that I am interested in?

ANSWER: During our estate sale auction you will hold your yellow bidder card high in the air when an item that you are interested in is up for bid. You must hold your card in the air, not wave your hand but hold your card in the air. Our auciton staff is looking for yellow cards in the air, not an empty hand. Nodding, winking your eye, tipping your hat and other gestures are not considered bidding, only a yellow bidder card held high in the air. Keep your card held high in the air while the auctioneer calls out bid prices, if the price grows beyond what you intend to bid on then drop your card and quit bidding. The last card in the air is the high bidder and the winning bid.

QUESTION: How do I know if I won the item that I bid on?

ANSWER: Our estate sale by auction auctioneer will call out your number as the winning bid, keep your yellow card raised high in the air so that he can read your winning bid number to our sales clerk, once he announces your number over the microphone you can drop your card and celebrate as the new owner of the item.

QUESTION: How do I pay for the items that I won?

ANSWER: The cashier willa accept, cash, check or credit card payment. Present your yellow bidding card to our cashier at the end of our auciton or when you are ready to pay. You must pay for all items that you one on the day of the auction, without exception.

QUESTION: When can I pick up the items that I won?

ANSWER: Items may be picked up immediatly after each auciton or on the following day between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., you must have your receipt to pick items up. If you lose your receipt you will need to see the cashier for a dupliacate. NOTHING will be released without a receipt.

QUESTION: How do I know where the items that I won are at the end of the auction?

ANSWER: Bidders should keep an eye on where the items that they win are placed as the items sell. Some bidders keep a written log of the items that they win and where the staff places them after they cross the auction block. Small higher bid and higher value items are placed in our smalls room, furniture is placed in the perimeter gallery areas, boxed lots are placed in the roped off area in the rear of our gallery. Some items such.

QUESTION: Do you have help loading items?

ANSWER: Yes, we have loading staff available at the end of each auciton. The staff are wearing black shirts with ORLANDO ESTATE AUCTION printed in blue ink. Approach one of these team members and ask for loading assistance, if they see you holding your receipt they may approach you and ask if you need assistance. Bidders who intend to purchase alot of items may stage their truck or trailer at the rear lot behind our auction facility and it will be marked with your bidding number. In these cases a credit card is on file and the items are loaded directly into your trailer as they cross teh auciton block. We ask that bidders who are "loading" have someone to man your truck or trailer and our staff will deliver the "loading" items to that person who in turn will load them into your vehicle.

QUESTION: Can I tip the loading staff?

ANSWER: Of course, tips are appreciated by our loading staff but not required.

QUESTION: How do I pick up items that are placed in your smalls room?

ANSWER: After you pay for the items that you won at our cashier you will be given a receipt, take that receipt to smalls room attendant. Our attendant will locate your items and release them to you, initialing that you have picked them up. You must have your receipt to pick up items from our smalls room and from anywhere in our auciton facility. Nothing will be released without a receipt.

QUESTION: Why is there a rope across the back of your auction gallery?

ANSWER: Only Orlando Estate Auction staff members are permitted beyond this rope. Absoloutely no one except staff are to go beyond this rope NO ONE, not even our most regular of bidders is allowed beyond this rope. The restrooms are located at the south end of this rope, to access the restroom walk along the south wall to the restrooms, depending upon what segment of our auction we are currently in this rope may be strung across this areas, in this instance walk along the wall to the restroom, do not enter any other portion of the rear gallery. Anyone violating this rule will be asked to leave and never return.

QUESTION: Do you have a returns policy?

ANSWER: All items are purchased "as is" with no returns accepted. This poilicy is in place to assure a quick liquidation of our consignors estates. We do make exceptions on some large appliances. If an item is one of thos exceptions it will be announced that the items is "guaranteed" at the time of sale. For these items we will honor a return within 48 hours of the sale, providing enough time to install and test the item at your location. When we offer a "guarantee" on an item, we have tested that item prior to removing it from the house of the consigned estate.

QUESTION: can children attend an estate sale auction?

ANSWER: Children may attend but this not advised for children below 18 years old. If a child becomes noisy, cries or is misbehaving it will disrupt the flow our our action and we will stop the auciton and ask you to remove your children from the gallery. If this happens we ask that you do not bring your children again. Repeat offenders will be banned from our acutions forever. As a general rule, an estate auciton is no place for young children just as a bouncy house is no place for grown adults.

QUESTION: Can I leave a bid on an item that I am interested in if I have other commitments yet see an item on your online preview gallery that I want?

ANSWER: Yes you may leave a bid for Saturday's estate sale auction, simply call us and describe the item to us and your maximum bid.
