| - I am new to the whole Auction scene. Never have gone to any auction besides car auctions many many years ago, as part of my job as a book keeper for a used car lot. Anyway, my son-in-law got me interested, when I started seeing the things he was investing in for their new home. Everything from lawn mowers, to power tools, to LR furniture, to new touchless trash can. All at extremely reasonable prices.
When I found my self needing some things for my home, I inquired about how the auction works. He basically gave me a quick idea, but I was still slightly confused. I decided to go to EJ's myself, on a Friday afternoon. I was able to walk thru the the entire auction, see everything that was being auctioned on Saturday, make notes, ask questions etc. I found this extremely helpful for me to understand how everything online fit together. I found a few things that interest me, snapped a few pictures on my cell phone, & went on my way.
Their online bidding is a very simple process, & you can start bidding several days in advance of the live auction. You can go in person to check out actual items being auctioned for that week, beginning Wednesday b4 the live auction on Saturday. If you get outbid on a particular item PRIOR to the start of the live auction, they notify you via email, or online if you are logged in to their site, so you have every opportunity to raise your bid.
As far as live bidding? I've watched the live bidding on line, even participated online, but have never been in person during a live auction. I have won several of the things I bid on, all from online. Once you win something, you again get email confirming your item, instructions on pick up, & how much you need to pay. Pick up has to be same day as auction, (Saturday) or Sunday by 3:00PM, or they charge $10 a day storage. I've picked up my purchases on Sunday's every time. I even got a reminder phone call, about 2 weeks ago, mid morning on a Sunday , to remind me I had item(s) to pick up before 3:00PM. The lady's who check you out, collect money etc, are always very friendly, & have even helped me locate my things in the past. They are always well organized. & there is someone at both doors who checks your receipt to your items before you can even walk out.
I am very happy overall with EJ's. I can't wait for the next week just to see what they have to auction. You never know what you might find that you just can't live without.
