WED 8PM PICKUP IS FRI, SAT & SUN 10-5 CLOSED 12-1
WEEKLY#1 FINAL EXCEPT FOR DIMES: I PURPOSEFULLY PULLED BACK FROM HOUSE SALES THIS WEEK IN ORDER TO WORK ON THE AUCTION HOUSE. WE HAVE SO MANY LOTS, THAT IM BURSTING AT THE SEAMS. THIS WILL BE 1 OF 3 THIS WEEK, IM ASSIGNING EACH OF MY REGULAR HOUSE SALE TEAMS TO WORKING THE PICKUPS LIKE A HOUSE SALE, SO THAT WE CAN GET THESE ITEMS OUT EXPEDITIOUSLY. WHICH MEANS, I WILL NEED A LITTLE HELP FROM YALL WHEN YOU PICKUP. SO PAY ATTENTION TO THOSE PICKUP INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THEY COME THROUGH. I HAVE HIRED SOMEONE TO HANDLE JEWELRY. SHE IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON HER FIRST AUCTION AND WILL HAVE THAT UP IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. JOHN WILL BE SOON WORKING ON THE COIN AUCTIONS AND BUYING OUT COLLECTIONS. GOLD SILVER ETC. I WILL BE WORKING WITH HIM CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS TRAINING HIM ON WHAT TO LOOK FOR. SO IF YOU NEED SOMETHING GOLD, SILVER, GUN RELATED LOOK TO HIM. WITH THAT SAID WE ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND. WE HAVE SO MUCH BUSINESS COMING IN THAT I CAN NOT LIST IT ALL MYSELF. I AM WORKING ABOUT 100 HOURS A WEEK AND SHARING THE LOAD WITH THESE FOLKS IS A START. BUT WE NEED MORE PEOPLE AND A LARGER FACILITY OR A SECOND. I NEED TO HIRE PEOPLE TOO, THESE ARE THE POSITIONS I AM ACTIVELY SEEKING. 1. FLOOR POSITIONS, FOR SETUP AND WORKING PICKUPS (THESE CAN BE PART TIME POSITIONS (FOR THE RIGHT PERSON) OR FULL TIME (PREFERRED) 2. MOVING MANAGER (I NEED SOMEONE THAT HAS MOVING EXPERIENCE AND KNOWS HOW TO PROPERLY PROTECT ITEMS, COORDINATE PICKUPS AND MOVE THINGS IN A TIMELY PROFESSIONAL MANNER. AND TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRUCK, ADDING DEF, TAKING IT FOR MAINTENANCE ETC. (FULL TIME) 3. MOVING POSITIONS. SOMEONE THAT IS NOT THE DRIVER BUT CAN HELP MOVE. (FULL TIME) 4. WEEKEND POSITIONS FOR HOUSE SALE PICKUPS (PART TIME) 5. MAINTENANCE PERSON: I NEED SOMEONE THAT CAN HANDLE CLEANING OF FURNITURE, MINOR REPAIR, CHANGING THE LIGHT BULBS, JUST GENERAL CATCH ALL. IF I NEED SOMEONE TO RUN TO HOME DEPOT AND GET SUPPLIES, OR ULINE, PICKUP AN ITEM ETC. THESE POSITIONS ALL HAVE ROOM TO GROW. IF YOU WANT TO PLEASE COME IN AND FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, OR EMAIL IT IN. OR PLEASE LET SOMEONE KNOW THAT MAY WANT A JOB. THANK YOU. ++++NOTE ON SHIPPING+++++ IN OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS WE SAY WE WONT SHIP ITEMS LARGER THAN WHAT WILL FIT IN A FLAT RATE BOX AS IT SITS WE ARE HAVING PEOPLE BUY SAY A 3RD OF AN AUCTION AND ASKING AFTER THE FACT TO BE SHIPPED IT IS CAUSING A CASCADING EFFECT ON THE AMOUNT OF SHIPPING WE HAVE. IM GOING TO ASK IF YOU ARE LOCAL UNLESS I REQUIRE IT AS A SHIP ONLY AUCTION TO COME PICKUP YOUR ITEMS. IF IT IS SMALLER AND IT WILL FIT IN FLAT RATE BOXES THEN MY CURRENT HANDLING FEE IS $5 FLAT PLUS SHIPPING IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SHIPPING WE WILL DO OUR VERY BEST TO ACCOMMODATE YOU, BUT IT WILL BE $10 PER BOX HANDLING FEE TO ALLOW FOR THE EXTRA TIME AND PACKAGING EXPENSE. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE TEMPORARY JUST UNTIL WE CAN RELIEVE THE PRESSURE. THIS IS AN IN HOME ESTATE AUCTION: THIS MEANS A FEW THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN OUR REGULAR WEEKLY ESTATE AUCTIONS AT THE WAREHOUSE. SUCH AS. THIS IS AN ACTUAL HOME: THIS MEANS WE WERE HIRED TO EMPTY THE HOME. SO WHEN A LOT SAYS ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THIS OR THAT, IT MEANS YOU ARE BIDDING ON IT AGREEING TO TAKE THE ENTIRE THING, THE GOOD WITH THE BAD. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN LEAVE PART OF IT THERE, OR PUT IT IN THE CLIENTS TRASH, ETC. SOMETIMES THESE FOLKS ARE TURNING KEYS OVER TO THE NEW HOMEOWNERS THE VERY NEXT DAY. AND VERY NEARLY ALWAYS WE LOSE ACCESS TO IT AT THE END OF THAT PICKUP DAY STATED. WHICH LEADS ME TO PICKUP DAYS. IF YOU CLICK ON THE RED AUCTION DETAILS TAB IT ALWAYS SAYS THE PICKUP DAYS. AND ALMOST ALWAYS I WILL STATE THE PICKUP DAY HERE IN THE DESCRIPTION. THESE ITEMS AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR LATE PICK UPS NOR BRINGING THEM BACK TO THE WAREHOUSE FOR LATE PICKUPS. WE WOULD LOVE TO, BUT WE NEED YOU TO BE ABLE TO PICKUP DURING THE TIMES STATED. WHICH LEADS ME TO SHIPPING AND WAIT TIMES. WE ARE HAPPY TO BRING BACK SMALL THINGS FOR SHIPPING (NOT LATE PICKUP) I.E. COINS, JEWELRY, VERY SMALL ITEMS THAT CAN BE EASILY BE SHIPPED. IF YOU NEED BIGGER ITEMS TAKEN CARE OF ON THE BOTTOM OF EVERY INVOICE IS THE NUMBER OF A MOVER AND IF HE CAN'T HELP YOU, HE CAN PROBABLY GET YOU THE HELP YOU NEED FROM SOMEONE ELSE. WE WANT TO MINIMIZE WAIT TIMES THE BEST WE CAN... WHICH LEADS ME TO THAT...WE SAY WE WILL BRING SOME ITEMS OUT TO YOUR CAR, THAT IS NOT TRUE FOR EVERY CASE. WE WILL NOT BRING FURNITURE OUT, WE MAY ASK YOU TO COME IN IF IT IS A LARGE LOT OF ITEMS. I.E. ENTIRE CONTENTS OF CLOSET, SHELVES, TOOLS, ETC. WE ARE GOING TO TRY AND DELEGATE RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE, IF ONE PERSON IS QUICKER TO GET THEM OUT FOR A LAMP RATHER THAN TAKING AN HOUR TO BRING YOU THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF A ROOM THEN THATS WHAT WERE GOING TO DO. WE KNOW SOME HAVE HAD TO WAIT ON BUSY SALES AND COVID SUCKS, IT'S JUST WRETCHED FOR EVERYONE. SO WE APOLOGIZE GREATLY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE BUT WE'RE TRYING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT. AND WITH THAT SAID, WE GET PEOPLE EVERY WEEK MADDER THAN HELL AT US FOR NOT HAVING WRAPPING....THERE'S NO FEASIBLE WAY WE COULD BRING AND EFFECTIVELY ANTICIPATE ENOUGH WRAPPING OR THE DESIRED PACKING FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE FOR AN ENTIRE HOUSE AND IN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IT STATES FOR YOU TO BRING YOUR OWN HELP TO MOVE FURNITURE AND WRAPPING. PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON MY GIRLS FOR NOT HAVING SOMETHING OR MOVING FURNITURE FOR YOU WHEN YOU AGREED TO MY TERMS AND CONDITIONS. (IF WE HAVE SOME THAT THE HOMEOWNER LEFT AROUND WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE IT YOU IF ITS THERE, BUT BRING WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE PURCHASES YOU BOUGHT) FROM NOW ON WHEN YOU ANYONE DOES I AM GOING TO POINT THEM TO THIS PARAGRAPH. WHICH LEADS ME TO MY NEXT POINT. IF YOU ARE MEAN TOWARDS MY GIRLS IT WILL BE THE LAST TIME. THEY ARE KILLING THEMSELVES TO TRY AND DO GOOD AND RIGHT BY ALL INVOLVED AND IT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE THAT THEY CAN EMPTY A HOUSE IN A DAY. I'LL DEFEND THEM TO THE DEATH. HOWEVER IF I MAKE A MISTAKE WHICH IS POSSIBLE, BRING IT TO THEIR ATTENTION POINT OUT THE MISTAKE. THEY'LL POINT IT OUT TO ME AND IF I DID THEN I WILL FESS UP TO IT. I AM THOROUGHLY HUMAN AND THE OLDER I GET THE MORE I REALIZE IT. BUT REMEMBER WE DON'T TEST ITEMS, SO BID WHERE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT THESE AUCTIONS ARE IN A LOT OF WAYS LIKE STORAGE AUCTIONS, THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT YOU MAY SEE OR NOT SEE. BUT IF YOU SIGN THE INVOICE, THAT'S THE END OF IT. DON'T EVEN BOTHER BRINGING IT TO OUR ATTENTION LATER ON. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR ITEMS AND NOT SIGN, ILL BLOCK AN BAN YOU, BECAUSE AT THAT POINT THAT'S JUST BEING PETTY. AND I WORK TOO HARD AND TOO LONG TO DEAL W PETTINESS. I FIGURE ON AVERAGE I WORK ANYWHERE BETWEEN 80-100 HOURS A WEEK. IF YOU WANNA BE A KAREN DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. IF YOU ARE SWEET TO US WE WILL BE SWEET TO YOU AND ADORE YOU AND CHERISH YOU LIKE YOU SHOULD BE. AND THAT LEADS ME TO MY LAST AND FINAL HOUSEKEEPING ISSUE..... PAYMENT: I REQUIRE A GOOD CREDIT CARD ON FILE IN HIBID TO CHARGE THE NIGHT OF. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE ADDRESS IS TO RECEIVE IT THROUGH A PAID INVOICE (WHICH IS SENT OUT AFTER AUCTION ENDS). ONCE YOU REGISTER FOR AN AUCTION, THE CREIDT CARD CAN NOT BE CHANGED DURING THAT PERIOD (IT IS A HIBID FRAUD PREVENTION THING), IF YOU DO IT WILL UPDATE FOR THE NEXT AUCTION YOU REGISTER FOR BUT NOT THE CURRENT. IF YOU KNOW YOU HAVE AN ISSUE CONTACT ME TYLERGRACEAUCTIONS@GMAIL.COM (OR TYLERGRACEAUCTIONEER@GMAIL.COM I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS ACCESS TO THE AUCTIONEER EMAIL IF YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE) BUT I NEED THE CARD INFO THE NIGHT OF TO CLOSE IT OUT. FOR INSTANCE, A HOUSE CLOSES ON A FRIDAY, PICKUP IS ON A SATURDAY, AND WE OPEN AT 9 THE NEXT DAY AT THE OFFICE...PICKUP STARTS AT 10, WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO CHASE PEOPLE DOWN FOR PAYMENTS. SO WHERE IT SOUNDS RUDE AND HARD NOSED, WE HAVE TO KNOW THE AUCTION IS FUNDED AND THAT THE CONTENTS WILL BE EMPTIED THAT NEXT DAY. SO I WILL BE GETTING STRICTER WITH GOING TO THE BACK UP BIDDERS, BUT I WONT ALLOW YOU TO BID IF I HAVE TO GO TO A BACK UP BIDDER, IT'S A WASTE OFEVERYONES TIME INVOLVED TO DO SO. WITH ALL OF THAT SAID, MOST OF YALL HAVE BEEN WITH US FOR YEARS AND WE LOVE YOU DEARLY....MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS.
