Frequently Asked Questions

We are an online auction or you can also think of us as an online thrift store where you can purchase items from the comfort of your own home + the option to have your item shipped or delivered to you. We have the excitement of finding great items for incredible prices with the added excitement of potential bidding wars (whether you are in the bidding war or just observing)!

People consign with us for varying percentage rates depending on the type of item(s) & everything goes online for about seven days. Each auction is a multi-estate auction and it is always a surprise at what items our consignors sell through us!

We have an auction that goes live every Wednesday and starts to close the following Wednesday at 7 p.m. Thus every Wednesday there is an auction closing and an auction going live.

Our auctions have a live close function so there is no need to refresh your screen; the system will automatically refresh for you. Each bid added will add additional time to the closing time, so there are NO robots that can snake you out at the last second, which makes the bidding process very easy to navigate.

Once you win an item, you will have the following Friday and Saturday to pick up the items from our warehouse that is just south of Kemah, TX or you can request for us to ship or deliver your item (fees apply).

If you subscribe AND confirm your account, We will email you all auctions that we conduct.
