Salmon Arm Auction House
Organize
Gather your items and place them in "Lots" of like items. Lots should have a retail value over $50. Single items are great if they have a value over $50. This is an important step before you call, to ensure we can offer the best rates and the best valuation. If you have small items, put them in a box such as a pop can flat to help organize.
Contact Us
Have us come out and evaluate. We will give some estimates on what the lots will get at auction, and how we will get the most value for your items.
Photos and Prep
We will photograph and list your lots on our live auction website, giving buyers time to view and bid for 1-2 weeks before the auction begins.
Market and View
After the listings are live, now is the time to spread the word on social media and across Canada. Our platform has access to Canada wide buyers. A public viewing day is usually 1-2 days just before the auction to allows buyers to see the items before auction day. Pubic viewing days are not required but are highly recommended.
Auction Day
Items go through the auction one by one on our automated bidding platform designed around fairness and to maximize value for the seller.
Pickup & Ship
Pickup days are scheduled around Holidays and are generally over a 2 day period. Items not picked up are forfeited. Items that have no bids are the responsibility of the seller. We will pack and ship items to online auction winners.
