Live In Person Willcox Auction
Sat, Jan 20
|Bear’s Auction House
First Huge Auction of the Year!
The lots will be numbered -- starting with 1 and going up into the hundreds. That is the order that we will follow more or less! We estimate between 60 to 100 lots per hour. If you want to benchmark when to come for the items that you are interested in, that is a rough estimate!
Onsite preview is typically the Friday prior to the Auction from 9am - 3pm. Plus, you are welcome to stop by as the auction approaches if the gate is open. But, please note, during set-up, items may move and be reorganized. Preview is a great time to inspect and test items! We sell items "as is" and do not guarantee condition. Online preview is also available on our website.
Yes! Registration is open during preview! Save a few minutes the morning of and complete registration in advance!
If you are new to our auctions, please anticipate sharing your ID / driver's license with us. No deposits are required at this time.
Items are your responsibility once the gravel has dropped and you have purchased them. Items with a title require that the money has cleared before taking possession. After paying, you are welcome to take items with you the day of the auction. We are traditionally available the Monday and Tuesday following the auction from 9am - 3pm and by special appointment after that.
At the moment, we are only taking a limited number of consignments. If you are interested in talking about consignments, feel free to text Bear at (520) 709-8738.
Yes, we will do a limited number of proxy bids if arrangements are made in advance, typically during preview. A proxy bid means the bidder is not in attendance and the auction house is bidding on behalf of the person. A deposit may be necessary for proxy bids.
We are open to on-site auctions but it requires some unique circumstances in order to make sense. Reach out to us to continue the conversation!
We are working on a system for our regulars to have permanent numbers -- be sure to check in if you are interested!
We take cash, area checks with current identification, and credit / debit cards with a 3% convenience fee.
Yes! We do our best to ensure that basic food is available onsite, either by hosting someone in the snack shack or inviting a food truck.
Yes, we charge associated taxes on your total sales (in Willcox: 9.1%.) If you have appropriate paperwork associated with tax exemption (i.e. re-sale), please bring a copy to leave on file.
