How do you become an auctioneer?
In Ohio (as of May 2005) one must first attend an approved auction school. The approved auction schools for Ohio are listed on the Ohio Department of Agriculture's website. One must also secure a sponsoring Auctioneer to oversee your apprenticeship. Having attended auction school and secured a sponsor one must pass an apprentice auctioneer exam. After passing the exam an apprentice must serve at least 12 months as an apprentice AND conduct a minimum of 12 auctions under the supervision of one's sponsor. Having completed all of the above one may take the auctioneers exam. Please note that there are other specific requirements for becoming a licensed auctioneer. For a complete list please visit the Ohio Department of Agriculture's website or similar website for your state.

How do bid on an item if I cannot stay for the entire auction?
We understand that buyers are often unable to stay for an entire auction. Thus we gladly accept absentee bids and execute them competitively on their behalf. These bids are accepted on or before any auction. Please see our absentee bid policy for more details.

What should I wear to an auction?
Whatever is conformable and weather appropriate. Most auctions are casual events for the auction attendee. Please take note of the location of the auction and the weather the morning of the auction. Note if the auction is at a gallery, building, hotel or auction house or if the auction is on-site with some or all the auction being held outside.
