Gallery Auctions

First-Time, novice guide to AuctionsAt Gallery Auctions,
we make bidding and buying a fun and rewarding experience. Although most of our business is for the trade, we welcome anyone to come in and experience one of our auctions first-hand.


Are you ready to jump in and bid? Before you do, keep these points in mind:

  • You pay as you go.  At an auction, there's a no-return policy. You pay before you leave. Of course, if a first-timer makes a mistake, we'll work with him.

  • Preview the merchandise. If you find an auction that doesn't have preview time, you probably shouldn't shop there. Gallery Auctions has an open-door policy. People can visit Monday through Friday, look around, and see what's incoming and outgoing.
  • Attend a few auctions before you start buying.  Become familiar with hearing the auctioneer's chant. Get a feel for what you might want to buy.

  • Look over the items carefully because they are sold for better for worse, "as is, where is."

  • Be ready to hold up your hand if you want to participate in the bidding. There's about a minute of rapid-fire bidding, from the time that auctioning an item begins to the time that it's sold. Keep in mind the value of the item and your limit, but don't lose it for the price of a couple of Domino's pizzas.

  • And when you're the high-bidder?
    Gallery Auctions is just like any store. You can pay with cash check or credit card.
