Payments we accept are cash, Visa/Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. There is a 5% surcharge for debit/credit cards. WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS AS PAYMENT. If you are picking up your winning items and prefer to pay cash you may. You must let us know in advance that you are paying in cash. We charge cards automatically after the sale is over so be sure to let us know if you prefer to be a cash payer. If you are getting your items shipped you must pay with debit/credit card. There is a 5% surcharge for debit/credit card payments. Bidding You may bid anytime once the bidding is open until it closes. Auctions typically run two weeks or more. You may put prebids in or wait to bid as lots are closing. You can put the next highest bid in or put a "max bid" in. A "max bid" is the highest you are willing to pay for an item. The computer will automatically bid for you as other bids come in. It works similar to Ebay. The computer won't put your higher bid in until someone else puts a bid in for the same item. When lots are closing and someone puts a bid in in the last minute or so, it will add some time to the lot so other people have a chance to bid. When the auction is closing, the lots close 15 seconds apart. However, we do what is called a "soft close." For a "soft close" when someone puts a bid within the last minute of ending, it will add another minute to the bidding so people can't sneak in a bid in the last few seconds without someone else having a chance to bid. Since there is a "soft close" the lots close out of order sometimes so be sure you are watching things closing if bidding as the lots are closing. If you have any questions about the bidding process call the office at 717-618-9727 or email johncarlauction@gmail.com. If there are technical issues or if there is a discrepancy, we have the right to reopen a lot or restart an auction. If you have any questions about the online bidding process or anything else, please call the office at 717-618-9727.
