Bidder Resources
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an auction?
An auction is a public sale where goods or services are sold to the highest bidder. It’s a method of buying and selling where the price is determined through competitive bidding. Participants place bids, which are progressively higher offers, until no one is willing to bid higher. The item or service is then sold to the highest bidder.
What is a buyer's premium?
An extra charge on top of the winning bid price is known as a buyer's premium. It is paid by the buyer and is expressed as a percentage of the final bid, such as 10%–20%.
Can I inspect the items before the auction?
Yes, a preview and inspection period is always scheduled prior to the start of the auction. You can examine the objects in person to determine their condition at this period.
How do I pay for my items?
Please read the terms and conditions for each auction you participate in. The total is typically charged to the card on file, however, for larger equipment and vehicle auctions we accept certified checks, wire transfers, and cash.
Is bidding on online auctions different from in-person auctions?
Yes, online auctions allow you to place bids remotely, with a time limit for each item. Online auctions typically last 2-3 weeks. Bidding increments are typically set automatically, and you can bid at any time before the auction ends. We utilize extended bidding or "soft close"—if bids come in during the last minute, the bidding on that item will extend for (2) minutes. This prevents "sniping" and gives all bidders a chance to bid in the last seconds of the lot closing.
In-person auctions involve live bidding with an auctioneer that typically takes place in one day. All bids are final and made out in the open.
Can I cancel an unwanted bid?
No, once a bid has been placed, it cannot be withdrawn. You are making a legally binding commitment when you place a bid. Bid cancellations and refunds are not available.
Why should I buy at auctions?
Auctions provide a broad array of goods, featuring numerous valuable or distinctive, exclusive items that can’t be found anywhere else. Additionally, auctions can sometimes allow you to buy items at lower prices than you would find in retail stores or through other sales channels.
Where can I find the wire transfer information for my invoice?
This is located in the email with your invoice.
Where do I find the location of the auction?
This is always in the auction description and also printed on your invoice.
The sale of an asset in its current state, inclusive of all existing imperfections, without any warranties. It is the responsibility of the buyer to inspect and evaluate the property to their satisfaction prior to bidding.
Bid
A formal offer made by a potential buyer indicating the price they are prepared to pay. Bids typically follow standardized price increments as determined by the auctioneer.
Bidder Number
A unique identification number assigned to a buyer upon successful registration. This number must be clearly displayed to the auctioneer or clerk immediately after a winning bid.
Bidder’s Choice
A bidding method where the high bidder earns the right to select one or more items from a group of similar assets before a new round of bidding begins.
Clerk
The auction team member responsible for maintaining the official record of the sale, including the description of the item sold, the winning bidder’s number, and the final price.
Consignment
A formal agreement where a seller (consignor) contracts the auction company to sell their assets for a fee, typically a commission based on a percentage of the final sale price.
Hammer Price
The winning bid amount established at the moment the auctioneer’s gavel falls. This does not include the buyer’s premium or applicable taxes.
Preview
A designated window of time and a specific location where interested bidders can physically inspect assets to judge their quality and condition before the auction begins.
Reserve
The confidential minimum amount a seller is willing to accept for an item. If bidding does not reach this threshold, the item will not be sold.

Maximize Your Return with a Real Estate Auction
As the real estate market continues to evolve, auctioning your property is one of the most effective ways to sell your house fast and achieve the highest possible return. Real estate auctions create competition, drive value, and eliminate the uncertainty of waiting months for a traditional sale.
Here’s why auctions work so well:
Speed of Sale – Auctions are designed to sell fast and close quickly—ideal for tight pre-foreclosure timelines. Competitive Bidding – Multiple buyers bid simultaneously, often driving prices higher than traditional or distressed sales. As-Is Sale – Homes sell “as-is,” avoiding costly repairs, inspections, or contingencies. Certainty & Transparency – All bidders see the terms, and the highest bidder wins (subject to seller's confirmation), creating fairness and confidence for all parties.

“I have had the best experience both buying and selling with this auction company!! For several years I have been a bidder both online and live, super excited with my treasures (and tools for my husband)! We've also used this company for an outlet to auction off items and vehicles, either inherited or no longer needed. They were extremely helpful, fair, and honest. I would highly recommend Ken Geyer Auctioneers!!!”

"I can’t praise Mark enough. The sale went through exactly as he promised and the final sale price far exceeded any estimate I had received from real estate agents. I could pick the sale date, he helped clear out two generations of ‘stuff’ that I was financially struggling to manage. Knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. If you have a house to sell, call Geyer Auctions!"

"I was very pleased with the Ken Geyer Auction company. The process went smoothly, and all the people were great to deal with. They made it so easy and efficient! I’d highly recommend them and would be happy to use them again in the future."
- Amy S.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I have purchased items from other Geyer auctions and have always been pleased with their process and customer focus. This time we were the sellers, downsizing from a home and separate shop with much woodworking equipment, a UTV, and many other items. Geyer did a fantastic job grouping lots, taking photos, and marketing the auction. We were very pleased with the amount received from the auction. I would not hesitate to recommend Geyer Auctions if you are buying or selling."
- Bret H.
