How do I bid in your auction?

The first step to bidding is to register. You can do that HERE.

You'll be asked for basic information and required to put a credit card on file. We automatically charge credit cards of winning bidders at the end of the auction.

Once registered, you can join and bid in any auction you'd like!

NOTE: If our auction is being listed on proxibid.com, you will need to create an account on proxibid.com as well.

Your registered card will be charged within 24 hours of the auction closing date. After that, you can expect an email from Shipping Saint, our software designed to deliver your winnings or set you up for pick-up. Additional instructions are provided at that time. If you did not receive an email from Shipping Saint, please check your SPAM folder.

What do I need to know about bidding at firearm auctions?

Auction Solutions, inc. is a Type 01 FFL

For those picking up the firearm in person, we ask that you visit the main office to fill out the mandated federal paperwork. Form 4473 is required to transfer the purchase from a Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer to a customer. You can either find the form online or fill it out in the office. If you come to the office with a 4473 prefilled out, you get a free cup of coffee from Keystone Kafe! 

You’ll also be asked to provide a valid ID — the name must match the invoice — and a concealed carry permit or a permit to purchase. If you don’t have either permit, Auction Solutions Inc. will perform a background check in the office.   

For online firearm auctions, how do I have my winnings shipped? 

  • You or your local FFL dealer must provide a copy of their FFL by email to info@auctionsolutionsinc.com promptly following the auction’s closing. Your firearms will be shipped to the dealer’s address. Once your order is delivered, it’ll be up to your FFL to contact you for pick-up.  

  • If Auction Solutions Inc. doesn’t receive a copy of an FFL, we cannot ship your firearms. For safety reasons, you will not receive a tracking number to ensure that the order isn’t intercepted.  

  • If you and another family member are getting firearms shipped to the same FFL dealer, you can contact Auction Solutions to have these shipment orders combined to minimize costs.  

What can/do you sell?

We get this question a lot. The short answer is, if it can be legally sold, we can sell it!

There are a few exceptions. If you wonder if we can sell it, give us a call and we can let you know.

We are a licensed FFL Type 01, have Real Estate Brokers, and automobile dealers on staff. We strive to be a one-stop shop for all your liquidation needs!


Helpful Terms

Auction Terms & Definitions

We’ve put together a couple of essential terms so you can focus on placing the highest bid. 
  • Buyer’s Premium: A percentage added of your winning bid that is added to your final invoice. This is retained by the auction company. It helps cover costs like bidding platform fees, credit card processing fees, etc.

  • Times the Money: This is applied when more than one item is in the quantity of a specific lot. It automatically multiplies your bid by the quantity listed. For example, if there are eight chairs in a single lot and you bid $5, your bid will automatically be $40 since you’re paying $5 per chair.  

  • Simulcast: When an auction is run simultaneously in-person and online — the best of both worlds.  

  • “As Is, Where Is”: Items are being sold in their current condition on the day of the auction. Buyers are responsible for inspection of the item for sale and deciding as to its suitability for their intended purpose before bidding. 
  • Proxy Bid: This occurs when bidders have the option to set the maximum price they're willing to pay for an item and then allow the computer system to bid on their behalf. For example, one could set their maximum at $100, and the system will auto-bid for them until someone outbids their $100. 
  • Pre-Authorization: A temporary lock on a certain dollar amount of credit on your card. It’s not charged but keeps the funds available for the authorizing merchant. Within the authorization period, the merchant may capture the authorization (charge the card up to the authorization amount) or release the authorization (return the amount to the card's available credit). Depending on the credit card's issuing bank, an authorization will be automatically released after 1-8 business days. An authorization might show on the customer's credit card statement or mobile app as a pending charge, or it might not show at all.
