TYPES OF AUCTIONS

                                     AUCTION WITH RESERVE:
                                      A minimum bid is not published.
                                      The seller reserves the right to accept or reject the highest bid within a specified
                                          time.
                                      The seller predetermines the price and is not obligated to confirm a sale other
                                          than an entirely acceptable price.
                                      The seller bears a reduced risk because the sales price must be an acceptable
                                          price.

                              ABSOLUTE AUCTIONS:
                                              The property is sold to the highest bidder, regardless of price.

BUYING AT AUCTION:

                                     Auctions are a unique opportunity to obtain merchandise in a competitive and exciting
                             atmosphere.
                             
♦ You will need a valid driver's license or acceptable form of identification to
                                    register for the auction.

                             
♦ Inspect the merchandise before you bid on it.
                                   There is an inspection period for every auction.
                                    Normally, you will not be able to examine an item as it is being offered for sale.

                             
When you start bidding, get the auctioneer's attention by waving your hand
                                    or bidding card.
                             
♦ Maintain eye contact with the auctioneer. If you cut the contact, the auctioneer
                                    may think you are no longer interested in the item being offered for sale.
 
                             
Know when you start to bid how high you are willing to go. The auction is fast
                                    paced and you will need to make decisions quickly. The auction will not be
                                    put on hold while you decide what to do.
                             
♦ If you no longer wish to bid on an item, please shake your head in the negative.
                              ♦ Don't forget to take into consideration that the buyer's premium and state sales

                                    bid number facing the auctioneer.

SELLING AT AUCTION:

                                      Public auction is the most efficient method of converting assets, either real estate or
                              personal property, into cash. The Auction Method of Marketing is an effective way
                              to settle an estate, assist with relocation or downsizing, or refine existing collections.

                              Selling real estate at auction puts your property at the forefront. Unlike traditional
                              real estate sales which have many listings for prospective purchasers, auction focuses
                              primarily on one piece of real estate - yours.

                              When selling personal property at auction you eliminate the problem of "leftovers"
                               which can occur when utilizing "tag" sales or the wait time involved in placing
                               items in a consignment shop.
                             
                             
                            BENEFITS TO SELLERS:

                                       Converts property/possessions to cash quickly.
                                       Creates the most exposure in the shortest period of time.
                              
Brings multiple, qualified bidders to a point of decision.
                              
Creates competition among buyers.
                              
Sold "AS IS" with no contingencies.
                              
Know date and time of sale.
                              
Buyers pay all closing costs (real estate)
