Auctioneer's Notes
Welcome to another fantastic AAA Auction Consignment Auction! This auction features firearms and collectibles, including Coleman lanterns and stoves, hard-to-find Hot Wheels, tools, mixed-item flats, and more. 

Although we try to be as accommodating as possible to our bidders, late pickups have become a problem. Consequently, we will now be enforcing the $10 per day late fee as set forth in our Terms. So if you cant's make it to the Auction Barn for the scheduled pickup, to avoid late fees all you have to do is pay for your items with a credit card on the pickup day and pick them up on the following Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. "Yes, Mom, this applies to you too."    

UPCOMING

Coins and Currency
Good credit cards may be used for coin purchases under $1,000. No credit card chargebacks shall be accepted. No personal checks will be accepted for coins. Unless previously agreed to by AAA Auction, cash payment or wire transfer is required for coin purchases of $1,000 or more.  

• When identical coins are sold in one lot, such as a group of four proof sets for the same year, the photos provided may be of only one set, but are presumed to fairly depict the contents and condition of each set in the group.
• When coins are sold in a book, AAA Auction does not guarantee that the seller has placed the coins in the book in the correct location and inspection by the buyer is recommended.
• Buyers may be asked to review their purchase before leaving AAA Auction and sign a form acknowledging that the purchase is accepted as correct.
• Shipping is available through the USPS and shall not take place until there has been a successful payment. The handling fee shall be $5.00 for items shipped in a padded envelope and $10 for items shipped in small to medium USPS boxes. The shipping fees shall include the actual fees charged by the USPO including insurance. Shipping costs shall be paid with a credit card.
• Coins and currency are sold AS-IS with no warranties express or implied. Any statements as to the grade of a coin or any handwritten notes on slabbed coins or the like are not guaranteed. Personal inspection is highly recommended. If any sale is voided for any reason, any financial recovery for the buyer is limited to the return of his or her payment to AAA Auction.

Firearms
Unless you are an established customer, please pay for your gun purchase in cash. Bring a case. Guns must be cased when leaving the Auction Barn, so please bring any case you need. All state and federal rules apply, including needing a purchase or carry permit to purchase a handgun or AR. Also, please note that the person to whom we will be transferring the firearm must be the registered winning bidder. 

Ammo
In most cases, we accept ammo for sale only if it is the original ammo in the original box from the factory.  Private reload, mixed, and loose ammo will not be accepted.

Loading
AAA does not load purchases. Please bring your own muscle. Our staff has been instructed not to load, so please do not ask. 

Pickup Procedure
Please drive to the left of the Auction Barn. Park there. Come in and pay. Then drive around the barn and park again when you get to the front of the barn, where your items will be brought out to you.

Late Pickups
If you cannot pick up your items on the scheduled day, you must call us during the scheduled pickup time and pay for them with a credit card, or you will lose your bidding privileges. When you call, you will be asked to schedule a new pickup time on the following Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday morning. If you pay for your items but do not pick them up by the rescheduled date, you shall be charged a late fee of $10 per day until your items are picked up. If your late fees exceed the amount you paid, your items shall be forfeited by you as payment for your late fees and you shall lose your bidding privileges. AAA does not promise to call and remind you to pick up your items.

Shipping
AAA Auction will ship small and medium-sized items through the USPS. AAA will not ship large items; however, we may on a case-by-case basis agree to take a large item to a professional shipper to have it shipped. We will not ship ammunition. There is a handling charge of $5.00 for small, padded envelopes, $10.00 for all small and medium-sized boxes and $25.00 for all long items such as rifles or shotguns. Handling charges are determined on a case-by-case basis for items that do not fit in USPS boxes. The handling charge for items taken to a professional shipper shall be $25 per item. Shipping fees also include the actual fees charged by the post office or professional shipper. 

Referral Fees
Do you know anyone who needs to sell a house or its contents? If so, we would be grateful if you would refer them to us. If you do, and we take the job, we will pay you a referral fee for the sale of the personal property.

Consignments
Our rates are very low, especially if you consign good items. The more your item sells for, the lower the commission we charge. We recommend that items consigned to us have a value of around $30 for you to get the 30% commission rate. The commission rates are higher for items that sell for less than $30. If you don't know what your items are worth, please feel free to call us to discuss that. We also recommend that you review our "What items sell?" page, which lists items that tend to sell well, and those that do not.
