TELEPHONE BIDS: We are not accepting telephone bids.
ABSENTEE BIDS: Absentee bids need to be received by our office and confirmed no later than the Wednesday immediately prior to the auction. You may either 1) call our office at (269) 781-7100; or 2) email jen@twoalphaauctions.com.
BIDS AWARDED TO LIVE BIDDERS: Just so it is clear to online and absentee bidders on how we handle internet bids, although you are willing to go to $400.00, for example, as your top bid prior to the actual live auction, depending on the increments and where the bid starts, you may not be the successful bidder at your high bid. We start the bidding at the higher of the Proxibid or absentee current bid unless a live bidder starts the bidding higher. From that point, if a live on-line bidder bids $400.00, your absentee high bid of $400.00 will not be successful, as we give priority to live, in-person bidders first, and Proxibid live bidders second.
Please do not call the auction company the day of the auction. The auction is held in a separate location from our place of business. If you have an issue with bidding, contact Proxibid directly at 1-877-505-7770.
