Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Pack the items you'll need before you leave for the auction. Some suggestions:
• A small flashlight to check details on anything you're thinking about bidding on. Bring Tape measure to see if it will fit out the door or if it will fit where you are putting the item.
• A pen and paper
• A value book
• Identification, Cash or Bank Check(made payable to American ALA,Inc., and your seller's ID if you are buying for a business.
Dress comfortably. Remember, it might be hot/cold outside but the air conditioning/heat might be working overtime inside.
• Bring the necessary tool Dismantle items to be removed.
Popular auctions fill up fast, and you will want to be
Close to the front if you are bidding. This is one time where it's good to be the teacher's pet.

Ask what types of payment are accepted, if the auction house charges a buyer's premium and
Inquire about hauling/delivery concerns before you bid.

Don't bid on anything you don't examine in the preview Unless you really, really want to.
Pay attention! Make sure you know what item number is being bid on at all times, or else you
Might end up taking home that two Door freezer instead of that open refrigerator case

Raise your paddle to bid. Once you've been acknowledged, further bids on an item can be made by a nod of the head, etc. Don't worry; sneezing won't accidentally put you into the poor house

If you're traveling to the auction, make sure you have a way to get the items you purchase packed properly and home with you. Remember, bubble wrap is your friend. And bring appropriate vehicle. Also ask if there will be truckers there on site to arrange pick up of items. And the biggest inside secret of all. REMEMBER, NO ONE AT AN AUCTION IS YOUR FRIEND, THEY ARE YOUR COMPETITION. STAY SILENT TO OTHER BIDDERS. BUT BE FRIENDLY

BUY AT AUCTION

if you're new to auctions, there's nothing to fear. This step by step guide will show you just how easy it is to find, scout
and participate in a live auction near you.

1. Find an auction
Check back to our web site(www.americanassetsonline.com) often to find an auction that features your interests or needs.

2. Preview the auction the day of the auction


3. Arrive early
On the day of the auction, try and get there early enough to register and inspect the items. It's not only important for you to be able to see the Auctioneer, but for the Auctioneer to be able to see you.


4. Inspect
carefully inspect any items you're interested in. Are they damaged? Do you see other people looking at the same items? How much competition does it look like you're up against?


5. Set a price
what are you willing to bid? You should have a number in mind, so you don't go way over your budget in the heat of the moment.


6. Bid
have fun! Carefully follow the auction and get a feel for who you're bidding against. And remember, the maximum bid you're willing to make is just that; a maximum. Don't jump to that number unless it's necessary. You might very well get
the item you want for much less
.

7. Pay
if you win, find the Bookkeeper or Clerk and take care of your bill.

8. Enjoy!
