Auction Overview:
-
When: Our famous Auction is held on the last Saturday of each month (excluding December). Entry is free, for both buyers and sellers, with parking available for cars and trailers on site.
-
Times: Gates open at 6:00 AM for vendor setup, with the canteen starting at 7:30 AM. General auctions start at 8:30 AM, followed by livestock and small animal auctions at 9:30 AM.
-
Method: Each auction team consists of an auctioneer, a writer, and at least two collectors. Auctions begin with vendor lots starting from the A side.
-
Vendors: Upon arrival, vendors will be directed where to place their goods by clearly identifiable parking officials. Lots are separated by coloured cones. Once vendors have placed their goods, they must register at Registration Desk in Strout’s Barn to receive sales sheet. NB: All unsold items remain the responsibity of the vendor and should be removed before collecting payment.
-
Buyers: Transactions are typically cash-based. Buyers can register for a number at the office if you wish to pay for all purchases at the end of the auction. If you are buying on a number you will need to wait until all sales are finished and all sheets for the entire auction have been processed.
-
Bidding: The auctioneer will suggest opening bids and seek offers until no bids remain. The highest bidder wins and must pay promptly. Auctioneers' decisions are final.
