A.B. Levy Auctions are governed by our Conditions of Sale. Please review and understand these terms before bidding. We offer a printed auction catalog approximately one week ahead of each auction, when available. Clients may also view our catalog online at our website when available. Both the printed catalog and our online catalog contain photographs, descriptions and estimates for each lot. A.B. Levy strongly encourages clients to inspect all lots of interest, in person. Where this is not possible Condition Reports may be requested. For auction catalog subscriptions please call +1 (561) 835-9139
Our auction showroom is open to the public five days prior to the auction for preview. At this time, all lots may be examined and our staff will be available to answer questions.
A.B. Levy accept bids from clients who attend the sale in person, by absentee bid, telephone bid and by live internet bidding.
The Auctioneer will only recognize bids from clients who have a bidding number and paddle. You may register for a paddle at our registration desks either, the day of the auction or, during preview. If you pre-register during preview, on the day of the auction you may pick up your paddle at our registration desk. Once the auction begins, the auctioneer will clearly announce the lot number and starting bid price. To place a bid, raise your paddle so that the Auctioneer sees you and acknowledges your bid. The auctioneer will accept increasing bids on the Lot until one final bidder remains, at which time the auctioneer will give 'Fair Warning' that the bidding is about to close. Finally the Auctioneer will sell the item for the last amount bid. This amount is known as the 'hammer price'. The Auctioneer will announce the hammer price and the winning bidder's paddle number.
A.B. Levy offers bidders live, real time, online bidding through our website. You will need to pre-register if you would like to bid live through them.
You may register by filling out the telephone/absentee bid form up to 48 hours in advance of an auction. This form may be found by emailing [email protected]. Please note that you must receive confirmation from us that your telephone bid form has been received and processed. If you do not receive confirmation your form may not have been received. If this is the case, please contact us directly at (561) 835-9139 or email [email protected] will be assigned a staff member who will call you the day of the auction when your lot is coming up. They will let you know what bid the auctioneer is asking for and execute bids at your discretion. If you are successful, an invoice will be sent to you the next day.
Payment is due immediately after the sale concludes. All sales are final. All lots are sold 'as is'. The buyer's premium is 20% and is charged on each lot sold. It is calculated on the final hammer price. In addition there is a Florida sales tax of 7%. All property sold should be picked up from our premises or shipped within five (5) business days following the auction. After that time property not removed will be subject to a handling charge and storage as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.
Buyers are financially responsible for the packing and shipping of their purchases. We can provide you with an estimate for packaging/shipping in house or provide a list of shippers who offer a wide array of packing and shipping options. For further information email A.B. Levy at [email protected].
