PRE - AUCTION

We offer a printed auction catalog approximately one week ahead of each auction. Clients may also view our catalog online at our website or on Live Auctioneers. Both the printed catalog and our online catalog contain photographs, descriptions and estimates for each lot. A.B. Levy strongly encourages clients to inspect all lots of interest, in person. Where this is not possible Condition Reports may be requested.

AUCTION PREVIEW

Our auction showroom is open to the public three days prior to the auction for preview. At this time, all lots may be examined and our staff will be available to answer questions.

BIDDING PROCESS

A.B. Levy accept bids from clients who attend the sale in person, by absentee bid, telephone bid and by live internet bidding through Live Auctioneers.

LIVE BIDDING

The Auctioneer will only recognize bids from clients who have a bidding number and paddle. You may register for a paddle at our registration desks either, the day of the auction or, during preview. If you pre-register during preview, on the day of the auction you may pick up your paddle at our registration desk.
Once the auction begins, the auctioneer will clearly announce the lot number and starting bid price. To place a bid, raise your paddle so that the Auctioneer sees you and acknowledges your bid. The auctioneer will accept increasing bids on the Lot until one final bidder remains, at which time the auctioneer will give 'Fair Warning' that the bidding is about to close. Finally the Auctioneer will sell the item for the last amount bid. This amount is known as the 'hammer price'. The Auctioneer will announce the hammer price and the winning bidder's paddle number.
