Online Auctions FAQ’s

How does an online liquidation auction work?

Online auctions are similar to local auctions. An item is photographed and has a description explaining it. Once you register and create an account you can bid on any items online. The bidding platform will keep updating with the highest bid until the final bid is made. The highest bidder will be notified on how to send payment along with shipping information or on how to pick up their goods.
