How do I bid?
Bidding at Hands Auction is very straight forward. Once an item is held up, all you have to do is raise your buyer's number. You may raise your hand if you wish. The auctioneer may also become aware of your specific bidding technique such as the raise of an eyebrow or the flip of a finger. Do not feel that you have to sit on your hands. Scratching your nose or pulling your ear will only be taken as a bid if this is your mannerism. If no one tops your bid, the auctioneer will close the sale of that particular item. You may at this time hold onto your items at your seat, or, take them to your vehicle, returning to the hall to either make payment or enjoy the remainder of the auction. When you have completed making your purchases you must go to the cashier desk and make payment. Please note that the final purchase price is determined by adding HST where applicable. A Buyer's Premium is added if we are auctioning Real Estate.
