Question 1

What are Ageless Auctions?

Accepted Answer

Auctions @ Ageless Auctions are a great way to bring folks and memories back together.   With us, you can inspect the items before you bid. We invite you to stop buy our Auction Gallery at 8259 Blaikie Court Sarasota, FL 34240 to take a look (preview days & times located under current auctions tab).   If you are unable to visit in person, we take pride in the amount and quality of pictures for your convienence.   Each auction item has a “soft close”. A soft close means if an item receives a bid in the final minutes of the auction, the time is extended by 3 minutes, giving you another opportunity to bid. This process continues until bids are no longer received & the timer hits zero. This makes the auction similar to a live auction where the auctioneer continues asking for additional bids until bids are no longer received.

Question 2

How do I register for an auction?

Accepted Answer

Go to one of our auctions and click on the register link. You only need to register once – after that, you can login to any of our auctions. A credit card is required to register. The card that you register with will be charged for any items you are high bidder on. We do make payment exceptions for high dollar items – read the terms and conditions for each auction to determine how payment will be collected, or call our office if you need some exceptions.

Question 3

Where can I find the terms and conditions for an auction?

Accepted Answer

Terms and Conditions are located under “Auction Details” on the auction event page

Question 4

How does the auction end?

Accepted Answer

An auction only ends when all bidding has stopped. The auction end date/time is posted for each auction, but some items may continue beyond if there is active bidding on those items.   If a bid is placed within the last 3 minutes, the auction will extend an additional 3 minutes. This will continue until no more bids are received and the timer runs out. (Some auctions have longer extensions).   We also allow for “related items closings” – which means all items in an auction may not close at the same time – this allows bidders to submit bids on multiple or related items without time running out.

Question 5

How do I know I if I’ve been outbid or won an auction?

Accepted Answer

You will receive an email letting you know you've been outbid, or you will receive an invoice via email when you're the winning bidder. Make sure the email you register with is current so you don't miss these important emails (don't forget to check your spam folder).

Question 6

How do I pay for the items I won?

Accepted Answer

Payment terms are specified in each of the auction’s terms and conditions. We do offer inhouse or third party shipping on many items.

Question 7

Can items be shipped?

Accepted Answer

Shipping is available on many items/lots. Check the Auction’s Terms & Conditions for shipping availability. Shipping is at the buyer expense. Directions for arranging shipping can be found in the Auction Terms & Conditions.   Shipping insurance is recommended for all shipped items and must be arranged by the buyer. Ageless Auctions is not responsible for items damaged during the shipping and handling process.

Question 8

How to buy at our auctions?

Accepted Answer

Buying at Ageless Auctions is a simple process. Click current auctions to find the auction you are interested in. ​ Click the “Register to Bid’ button for the auction you would like to participate in. ​ Enter your Hibid.com login credentials, or, if you've never registered for one of our auctions, click on the “Click here if you are a new bidder” button to create an account. You will only need to create a login one time – it will then work at all future auctions. ​ Registration requires you to submit a credit card through Hibid, or select a card you already have on file. The card you submit will be used to pay for items you are high bidder on unless you contact us for other payment options. There is no cost to register or bid – you will only pay for the items you are high bidder on, plus the Buyer’s Premium. ​ You are now registered and can bid on any item at Ageless Auctions. You can submit bids in 2 different way. ​ Bid the next increment – this will increase the bid to the next increment and make you the high bidder until someone outbids you. Place a “maximum bid”. Placing a maximum bid puts you in at the next increment, but will keep you the high bidder automatically until your maximum is reached. This makes the bidding process easier since you don't need to continually place additional bids when someone else outbids you. ​ *** Remember – all bids are final. Retractions are not allowed, so make sure you're bidding on the correct item and you've inspected the item to your satisfaction before placing your bid. ​ Anytime you are outbid, an email will be sent to you so you can increase your bid if you desire to do so. ​ Once the auction ends, you'll receive an email letting you know which items you won the bid on. Your credit card, of record, will be charged and you can then come by the auction gallery to claim your items within 3 days after the auction. Call us for any special arrangements that need to be made for pickup. ​ Please note: our auctions have a “soft close” – this prevents other bidders from coming in and “sniping” your favorite lot at the last minute. Any bid received on a lot in the last few minutes of the auction will automatically extend 3 minutes giving other bidders a chance to bid. This will continue until no further bids are received and the clock runs out. ​ If you need any assistance with registering or bidding, please contact us by phone (941) 313-2025 or email support@agelessauctions.com
