How the Auction Process Works
01
How does a typical auction with us work?
We begin the process with a consultation to determine the approach that best serves you, the client. We offer both on and off-site auction services, and when the need arises, we offer pick-up of items to be auctioned.
Please contact us to discuss auction specific variables.
02
How far in advance should we book an auction?
Ideally, please contact us 1–3 months before your event date so there is enough time for planning, promotion, and item gathering. If your timeline is shorter, reach out and we will do our best to accommodate.
03
Can you help us plan our strategy?
Yes. We can advise on auction formats, online vs. live auctions, bid paddles, appeal moments, and other tactics designed to increase participation and results.
Bidding & Payments
How does bidding work at your auctions?
Depending on the event, bidding may take place live in the room or online. We clearly explain the bidding rules before each auction and keep things moving in a fair, transparent way.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment options can vary by event, but typically include major credit cards and, in some cases, e-transfers or other approved methods. Event organizers may have additional guidelines we’ll share with bidders in advance.
How do we get started with Peever Auctions?
You can start by booking a consultation with auctioneer Mike Peever or sending us a message with some basic details about your event or items. We’ll follow up to discuss options and next steps.
