This is different than most auctions, as there will not be a live audience during the actual bidding process. All bids will be from left bids, phone bids and Internet bidding through the www.Proxibid.com interactive auction system. You will actually hear the voice of the auctioneer prompting you to continue to bid online. The catalog will appear on proxibid.com with pictures and descriptions prior to the live preview, and Internet bidders will be able to bid in real time with one click bidding.
There will be a live, in-person preview on Friday March 10 from 4:00 until 8:00 p.m. and on Saturday March 11 from noon until 6:00 p.m. where interested parties can see and touch the catalogued items, and can leave Left Bids to be entered on their behalf during the real time auction. Those who are extremely interested in certain items can request to be on the phone during the sale of those items. Everyone who participated in the last auction expressed enjoyment with the system.
There is a 10% buyers’ premium, 5% sales tax for MA residents, with pick-up available on Sunday for those wishing to save on the shipping and handling expenses, and there are many lots for dealers who sell in shops or online.
The auction facility is operated by Gary Sohmers, proprietor of Wex Rex Collectibles, and frequent talk show host/guest, who also happens to appear as an appraiser in collectibles, toys, pop culture and memorabilia on the Emmy nominated PBS TV series “Antiques Roadshow.”
