Max Bid Info

Bidders are able to place bids in two ways.  Bids can be placed manually or a bidder can enter a max bid, the software will then bid for them as bids from other bidders come in, up to the maximum amount they entered.  Since the software can not predict how the future bids will come in this leads to a situation where sometimes a bidder will place a bid manually and then immediately get outbid for the same amount.  This is because another bidder had a max bid placed at that amount and the software will take the bid that was placed first.  For example if you manually bid $10 on an item and instantly get out bid but the item remains at $10, another bidder's max bid was $10 so if you bid $11 at that point you would have surpassed their max bid.

Removal & pickup of all items will be Thursday, September 21st, 2023 between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm.  Location: Eureka, KS.  Exact location/address will be sent to winning bidders at the close of the auction.  No exceptions will be made for removal of items, it is the buyer's responsibility to remove their items during the allotted removal time.  If you know you will be unable to meet this pickup window but still want to bid prior arrangements can be made to pick up firearms by calling Lane or Alan to schedule a pickup time at The Johnson Realty Office.  You must call prior to the close of the auction to schedule.  Items shall not be removed until those items have been paid in full.  Please bring valid ID matching the bidder registration to verify purchases.  Please bring your own equipment, help, etc. for picking up items.  Thanks, Johnson Realty!
