Top tips
What should I bring on auction day?
Bring a valid photo ID and the required deposit, payable by certified check or cash as stated in the auction terms.
What if I have a question after registration?
Ask a JSJ team member if you have questions during the event. If they don’t have an immediate answer, they’ll confirm the details with the auctioneer.
Tips for a first-time buyer?
Review all auction terms and conditions in advance, and research each item before bidding. Remember to include the buyer’s premium when calculating your total cost. All sales are final, so bid only if you’re prepared to complete the purchase.
