Tips for Auction Day

• Try to arrive at least half an hour before the auction begins. This will give you enough time to register for the auction. Once an auction begins, registration queues may start to build up, leading to delays and the possibility of missing out on your chance to bid on an item. Alternatively, you may register up to a week prior to an auction.
• Prepare a list of what you want to buy prior to the auction. Use our printable catalogue list. Printed catalogues are available from the registration office for $1.00 on the day of the auction.
• Absentee bids can be taken if you are unable to attend our auction or need to leave early. Absentee bids can be taken as long as the registration deposit has been paid.
