Tips on Attending a Gilbert &
Gilbert Auction
-
Arrive Early, this allows
you time to preview items before they are sold.
-
You will need to register
for a
bidder's number. You can do this by first
finding the Auction Cashier Station, you will be required to
show I.D. At this time the cashier will give you a number.
You will need this number to bid on items, and when you are
ready to leave you will go back to the Cashier Station to
pay for items you have bought.
-
Items at auction are sold
As-Is without any guarantees, however the auctioneers will
try to inform you of any conditions, defects, etc. that are
known.
-
You will find refreshment
and bathroom facilities at most all auctions.
-
When you bid on items and
the auctioneer sells them to you it is your responsibility
to look after these items.
-
The auction may be at one
location or the auctioneer may move around to sell the
items.
-
When an auction is held
in a rented facility you are required to pay 6% Pennsylvania
Sale Tax on items, unless you are a dealer buying them for
resale and have a tax except number on file with the
auctioneer. This is only when items are moved to a
rented facility and does not pertain to items sold on the
premises.
-
The items will be
displayed or held up so you can see what's being sold - the
auctioneer will chant or call the bids until he says "sold".
At this point the items will either be handed to you or your
bidders number will be marked on the item with a sticker.
