Frequently asked consignor questions
Are there reserves?
Items with a value of $10,000 or more may qualify for a reserve. These items need to be discussed before the auction and are subject to approval by Go 2 Guys Auction Co.
Can I remove an item from the auction?
Once the contract is signed and the item has been uploaded to the website, you may no longer take it off the auction. (If an heirloom or sentimental item is accidentally uploaded we are happy to give those items back for free) Taking items off the auction once they have been uploaded can be harmful to the entire auction process.
Can I bid on my own items?
Consignors or estates may buy back any of their items up to $50. Consignors and estates may NOT buy back any item that brings over $50. If a consigner chooses to buy back any item over $50 the consignor is subject to a $500 penalty. Friends and family are allowed to participate in the auction and can purchase your personal property.
How will customers know about my auction?
Go 2 Guys Auction utilizes various social media platforms as well as our extensive email list to advertise your auction. We have a large number of dedicated local customers as well as thousands of customers across the country who will see your items through our auction platform Hibid.com.
How will customers view the auction items?
Go 2 Guys Auction will host a preview day on the day of the auction in order for customers to have the opportunity to come view the items in person.
How do customers pick items up?
Go 2 Guys Auction schedules item pick up for the next 1-3 days after the auction depending on the number of items. Our employees will have all of the paid invoices and will help customers find their items.
Do I have to be there?
Auction consignors do not have to be present during the auction process. You’re more than welcome to be present, but you do not need to be available. We will handle it all.
What happens to items that don’t sell?
It is a rare occasion that an auction item does not sell. Typically, 99% of our auction items will sell. In the instance that a few items do not sell they become the responsibility of the consignor. These minor details are easily worked out after the auction.
Will you clean up my entire estate and get it ready for the market?
Yes! We specialize in liquidating estates and getting them ready for the market. We contract everything from carpet tear outs, junk removal, cleaning, painting, and even furnishing the house for staging purposes in order to get it ready for multiple listing services.
What happens after the auction?
All checks will be mailed 7-10 days after the auction to the address listed on this contract. All settlement reports will be emailed 3-4 business days following the auction to the email address listed on the contract.
