Questions to Ask When Hiring an Auctioneer

  • What area of expertise does Auction Service have?
    • Hire someone that knows your products; if you are selling antiques- hire someone that specializes in this area, don't hire someone that only sells livestock or equipment.

  • What geographic area do they service?
    • Name recognition counts! Many auction goers will follow auctioneers; it helps to hire someone from within your geographic area.

  • Are they a Bonded/Licensed Auctioneer in your State?
    • If you are paying for an auctioneer service they are required by state law to be licensed and bonded.Ask for a copy of their State Auctioneers License- you can even search online.

  • Do they carry proper Liability Insurance?
    • Accidents happen- someone could trip and fall, there could be an automobile collision, property could be damaged.If so- who will pay for these accidents?

  • Can they provide references?
    • Ask for a few names of Lawyers, Banks, or other people the auctioneer has conducted sales, call those people and ask questions!

  • What is the Commission Rate?
    • Commission Rates vary based on auctioneer, items to be sold, and amount of merchandise to be sold.Make sure you understand how you will be paying the auctioneer.

  • Is there going to be a Buyer’s Premium?
    • Buyers Premiums are additional fees auctioneers may charge your customers. Example the customer bought $100 in merchandise- but the auctioneer charges an extra 20% Buyers Premium- the customer now owes $120.
       

  • What additional costs will the auctioneer bill to the seller?
    • Sometimes the Auctioneers commission will cover all fees, other times they will list auction expenses as separate line items the seller needs to cover such as set up labor, renting a port-a-john, renting a tent or hall.This should be explained in detail in the contract.

  • What happens to items that don't sell?
    • Make sure you are in agreement with the "no sale" items.Some auctioneers will try to sell in 1 large lot, others will allow people to make offer, and some will throw things away.

  • After the sale, how long will it take to close out the auction and receive payment?
    • Make sure this is included in the contract.Depending on the type of auction and the various items being sold-there may be different time frames for payment

  • Do they have a formal contract?
    • Read it and ask all the questions you need to fully understand the wording- remember the auctioneer is being hired to represent your best interests
