Buying tips for Cincinnati auctions
- Buyer's premium. Most houses add a buyer's premium (a percentage of the hammer price) and sometimes an online-bidding fee. Put the total, plus any sales tax, into your max bid.
- Preview days. Go to preview or ask for condition photos. Look for repairs, chips, missing parts and replaced hardware.
- Before you bid. Read the terms: payment methods, pickup dates and shipping. Many sales are "as is, where is" with no returns.
- Know your stop. Set a max for each lot before the sale and keep to it; live bidding moves fast.
- Local note. American history and Civil War material is a specialist market; read condition reports and provenance notes.
