ZERO-COMMISSION SPECIALS
Guns and Ammo, $1,000+ Items 0% and Coins (10%)
We always sell guns and ammo and anything selling for $1,000 or more for free and we charge only 10% for coins.
Beer and Alcohol Items
There is still time to cash in on our zero commission special for beer and barroom décor items. Just make sure you bring the items to us by March 17 and we will sell them for your for free. That includes signs, glasses, labeled paper items, advertising and the like. (Sorry, no cans please, unless cone-top.)
Stoneware and Pottery consigned from St. Patrick's Day to Memorial Day
The next zero commission special will run from St. Patrick's Day to Memorial Day and will include stoneware such as crocks, jugs, water coolers, chicken waterers, and lidded jars; and pottery (not ceramics) from labeled makers such as Red Wing, Roseville, Shawnee , Hall, Hull, and the like. That means if you have any of these items to sell, and you bring them to us before Memorial Day, we will not charge you a commission.
Antique Dealer Consignments from Memorial Day to the Fourth of July
Our next almost-zero-commission special is for Antique Dealers who have a storefront or a booth in an antique store. It will run from Memorial Day to the Labor Day. AAA Auction will cut our regular low commission rates in half for any antiques or collectibles consigned to us by antique dealers during this time.

Coins
NEW TERM: Good credit cards may be used for coin purchases under $500. No checks accepted. Unless previously agreed to by AAA Auction, cash payment or wire transfer is required for coin purchases of $500 or more.
Firearms
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.
Loading
AAA does not load purchases. Please bring your own muscle. If, however, we do help you load, we will ask you to make a donation into our charitable tip jar, which will be used for local charitable purposes.
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 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 per day 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.

AAA Auction and Realty, LLC partners up with RE/MAX Results to sell homes too. Call us about a home for sale in Andover.
