ABSENTEE BIDDING

Seeck Auctions will execute absentee bids for people who cannot make the trip to the auction site.

• We may execute bids with live telephones depending on the auction. Please check the individual auction catalog for this option. OR just call and ask.
• We usually travel many nights to the auction site so watch the auction brochure for cut off dates. After this date we do not guarantee the execution of your bids.
• We bid as if you are present at the auction. EXAMPLE: If you bid $200 on lot #62 and the present crowd stops the bidding at $100. We will jump in with your bid at $110.
• You may phone your bids to us directly at 641-424-1116. Please call between 9 am and 9 pm CST.
• You may send your bids to us by mail to:
  Seeck Auctions
  PO Box 377
  Mason City, IA 50402
  Include the lot number(s) and amount bid on each lot(s). Also include your phone number so we may call you if you are successful.
• You may e-mail us with your bids and please include your name and telephone number.
• We do not like bids in odd units. EXAMPLE: #203 - $624.00. Please place your bids in the following increments: $1 to $300 - $5 increments $300 up - $25 increments.
• Shipping and insurance is paid by the winning absentee bidder.
• We will call or email you 1 to 3 days after the auction. If you did not hear from us you probably were not successful.
• There is a $7 charge or handling fee for each successful bid.
• If you do not receive an item that brought less than your bid we probably cancelled your bid. Before every auction we look at all the pieces we have bids on and check for damage, poor color and iridescence and bad manufacture problems. If we find something wrong we cancel your bid. We try to be very picky. IT IS A HARD JOB TO BUY FOR ANOTHER PERSON!
