Your first auction? Do NOT be shy...It's so much fun to save incredible amounts of money!
Before attending the auction it’s a good idea to just familiarize you with these basics.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1 Step One
Get a catalog from the auction house that lists items available at the auction. It will include photographs, brief descriptions and estimated presale values.
2 Step Two
Note the lot numbers of items that interest you.
3 Step Three
Inspect the items you're interested in before the auction. Many auction houses host presale viewings that are open to the public. Prospective buyers are encouraged to touch as well as view items.
4 Step Four
Take comparison costs along to see what the prices might be on the open market.  If you know what you are shopping for – then you probably have a pretty good idea of costs associated to your items of interest.
5 Step Five
Go to the auction house and fill out a registration form. Registration usually requires at least one form of identification and a credit card or bank reference.
