AUCTIONEER'S NOTES
Welcome to another AAA Auction! This one has more firearms, ammo, knives, coins, Halloween postcards, Beer items, and box lots, as well as many more collectibles and household items.
Registered bidders: Many folks who joined our company when they had a land line phone have now dropped that number. If your phone number or address has changed, please log in, click the ACCOUNT link at the top of the page, and update your information. Make sure to save your updates by clicking the blue Save button at the bottom of the form. Thank you.
New Closing Rate
We are going to try speeding up the closing a little bit. We have been closing at the rate of six items per minute. This auction will close at the rate of seven items per minute, which is about one lot every 8.5 seconds. We will welcome your comments at pickup about this experiment. As always, if you are concerned that you might not have enough time to get in your bids, we recommend that you put in your maximum bid right away. Our software will bid for you only as needed to place you on top.
Promotion
In addition to our already low rates, we are running a ZERO COMMISSION SPECIAL on knives, bayonets, hatchets, axes and swords consigned before January 1, 2023.
Conceal and Carry Class
Have you been meaning to take a Conceal and Carry class but just haven't gotten around to it? Well, now's your chance. Our very own AAA staff member, Ryan Cooper, is a certified trainer and will be offering such a class. Details coming soon.

If your late fees exceed the amount you paid, your items shall be forfeited by you in lieu of your late fees. Please note that we will no longer be calling folks who do not pick up their items on time whether paid for or not.
