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 pickup time on the following Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday morning. No late fees will be charged if you pick up your item on one of those days. Pickups at any other time or day will result in a minimum $5 fee. If you pay for your items but do not pick up your paid items by the following Wednesday as scheduled, you shall be charged a late fee of $10.00 day fee until your items are picked up. 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.

Homes For Sale
AAA Auction and Realty, LLC partners up with RE/MAX Results to sell homes too. Call us about home for sale in Golden Valley.

Low Consignment Rates
In addition to our everyday low rates, coins are only 10% to the Seller, and we are now offering to sell the following for FREE to the Seller:

• Firearms
• Ammo
• Anything selling for over $1000
• Knives, bayonets, hatchets, axes and swords if consigned before New year's Day. Minnesota law clearly states that is illegal to even "possess" a switchblade knife. So we're sorry, but we can't sell those. 

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.
