Payment & Auction Policies
If you are having difficulty making your payment, please call 409-761-0010. We are happy to help.
RESERVE LISTINGS:
A small percentage of lots may have a reserve price, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not to be sold. No reserve will exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon between consignors and AEP.
No auction lot may be removed during the sale or at any time until the full purchase price has been paid. All lots must be paid and removed at the buyer's expense within 7 business days of sale or they are subject to a storage fee of $10.00 per lot, per day.
A RESERVE price is the minimum amount the seller is willing to sell an item for. If the RESERVE price isn't met, the item won't be sold. If you bid below the reserve price, you'll see a "RESERVE not met" message. This means that even if you're the highest bidder at the end of the auction, you won't win the item. RESERVE PRICE WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED prior or during sale.
