If you've never been to a live auction before, we have quite a treat in store for you. If you are a seasoned bidder, then you know the exhilaration of casting the winning bid.

Audubon's Auctioneers, which is located in Audubon, New Jersey, is Camden County's premier source of quality antiques, older furnishings and collectibles from local Delaware Valley estates.

Previewing Items

Previews for our "Antique Sales", which fall on a Saturday, are held on Friday from 9:00am until 7:00pm and the morning of the sale from 9:00am until sale time.

Registering to Buy
Registering to buy (bid) at Audubon's is very simple. Just walk up to the administration desk, which is located opposite and to the left of the front entrance to the building.  State to the administrator that you would like to register for the current auction. She will ask you for your address and telephone number as well as proof of identification (usually a driver's license will do). You will then be assigned a bid ticket. This ticket is what you use to bid at the auction.

Bidding
Each item to be auctioned will be announced by lot number and description. If light enough, the piece will also be held up high by the auctioneer's assistant for everyone to see. Bidding will open at whatever price the auctioneer deems fair. Bidding will continue until the piece is sold.

To bid on any item at Audubon's, you must hold a valid bid ticket for the sale. To cast a bid, simply hold up your ticket when the auctioneer calls for the next highest bid. Then watch to see if anyone else casts a bid higher than yours. And listen for the final call.

Should you be unable to attend the auction...
An Audubon's representative can bid for you. Prior to the auction, tell us (either in person or by telephone) what your highest bid would be on the item. Audubon's will try to purchase the item for as little as possible, never exceeding your limit. If your absentee bid is successful, you will be notified by phone within a few days of the sale.

A thought for first time bidders...
Watching and listening are the keys to successful bidding. Do not be bashful if you've never been to a live auction before. You won't be alone. And, yes...practice does make perfect!  So consider bidding on an item that you would like, but that won't cause great disappointment should you not be the winning bidder.

Buyer's Premium
The buyer's premium at Audubon's is 15% and is the amount that the buyer pays in addition to the final bid price (or hammer price) for any item. Wherever applicable, New Jersey sales tax (6%) will be added to the final amount of your purchase (s).
