Some Notes on Bidding through Live Auctioneers

02-18-2022 Hits:13019 Blog Theo De Haas

Why was I not approved as a bidder after I signed up?

Bidders with little or no bidding history will not automatically be approved, so if you are new on this platform please call us to confirm contact information & agreement of all posted terms of sale.

Bidders with little or no purchase history might be approved, but will only be approved with a bid limit reflecting their past purchase pattern, so if your past purchase shows as follows:

Bidder Analytics

We might approve you, but only with a $500 limit, or we may call you to confirm terms of sale & verify your contact info.

On the other hand if your bidding details show as follows:

Bidder Analytics

We will approve you without any issue.

Think of it as buying a car without any credit history, please do not expect to be approved without a limit without any purchase or buying history.

That said, if you feel you need a higher limit, call us and submit credit card information. Once we receive the credit card details (sometimes we also request a copy of your driver's license), we can increase, or remove the limit.

Do I get a discount on the Premium If I Buy From You Directly?

If you pay by cash or check the premium will be 25%, if you pay by credit card the premium is the same as the online premium, note you can also use this option if buying on Live Auctioneers, just contact us the day after the sale to let us know you plan to pick up in person and pay by cash or check.

You can also pay by wire, note that bank fees are $20 per transaction.

Can I pick up my items in person? Can I preview items in person?

Yes, and yes, call us at 845 831 6800 for any information.

Do I have to pay tax if I pick up in person if I’m from out of state?

Yes, any bidder that buys from a state other than New York has to pay the sales tax on any item picked up in person, UNLESS they have a valid resale number, please note that if you have a resale number we need a copy of that certificate on file, as well as a signed ST120 (we have those for you)

So if you receive an invoice that does not show tax because you are in let’s say New Jersey, tax will apply if you decide to pick up in person, so make sure to bring a copy of your resale certificate if you have one, if not, be prepared to pay the tax.

Note that all bidders from New York will have tax added to their invoice, which we remove if you have a resale on file with us.

Note that all resale numbers will be verified through SALT validators in New York or the appropriate sites for out of state dealers.
