How do I 
have an auction?

So, you've decided to have an auction. Good choice! The first thing to do is call Shamrock Auction Service. There you will talk to our experienced staff. They will guide you through every aspect of your sale. A member of our staff will set up an appointment with you to view the merchandise to be sold. At that appointment our representitive will help you decide the best course of action for the auction(on site or to be moved to one of our galleries). Also an auction or pick-up date will be set.

Next your auction will be marketed. We use as many means as possible to do this- newspapers, internet, mailing list of over 3,000, announcements at previous auctions, and contacting personally any collectors we know that would be interested in your merchandise. We've used over forty different newspapers in the past. The correct papers for advertising will be chosen by location, type of merchandise, and national papers for high end merchandise. Our company strives on it's ability to properly market auctions.

Now it's time to put the staff into action. Our company provides hauling for a fee per truckload (panel vans, and large truck/trailers), or you can save on that cost by hauling the merchandise to one of our galleries yourself. If your having an on-site auction the staff will arrive at a set date or dates prior to sale day to set up and lot merchandise accordingly. Tents, tables, and chairs will also be provided. We also provide a food service free of charge. If needed a portable toilet may be in order, if so the cost will be taken directly out of the auction once it's over.

Well, It's finally sale day. Our staff arrives early to the auction site to make any last minute preperations. Items will be offered at the time when they will bring the best price. We are there working to get you as much money as possible while doing an honest job for the buyers. Everything is taken care of for you, so relax and enjoy the auction.

The sale is over. Our clerks and cashiers have taken an itemized list of every item sold and the unit price. The tents, tables, and chairs will be picked up and gone that day. You will recieve an itemized list that the clerks took of every item, along with a master sheet of the total sale price, commission, and expenses(portable toilet, etc.) taken out. The best part is you recieve your money that day at on-site auctions. Oh, I forgot to mention there's no sales tax at on-site auctions in Pennsylvainia too, which is a good thing for sellers and buyers alike. That's about it, start to finish
