Yes! Previews for our auctions are held on the Thursday the auction closes from 1pm to 5pm. You are also able to preview the next week’s auction during our pick-up hours on Friday and Saturdays from 9am to 5pm.
No, you cannot register online without a credit card. We use credit cards for security purposes to verify a bidder’s identity. Registering with a credit card is for our security, the seller’s, and yours to prevent fraudulent bidders. The online software that we use has security measures in place to protect your credit card information and we do not have direct access to your information.
We use two primary software including Auction Flex and HiBid. Auction Flex links directly in to HiBid. HiBid maintains full PCI compliance from beginning to end. They use up-to-date SSL certificates on all pages dealing with a bidders’ personal information or bidding. “When we retain the credit card information for your use, we maintain full PCI compliance on our servers.” (You can read more about PCI compliance here.)
A maximum bid is a convenient option if you don’t want to monitor the auction. You don’t have to increase your bid when someone outbids you, the software does it for you. If you submit the highest amount you are willing to pay for a lot, the software will place the next highest bid when someone outbids you up to your maximum amount. Other bidders cannot see how much your maximum bid is and your bid is only increased if you are outbid. In the case of a tie maximum bid, the bidder who entered the amount first will be the winning bidder.
We will email you your winning bids and an invoice within 24 hours of the auction end. You can also view your winning bids through the HiBid website. You will click on your name in the menu, and then click on "Past Bids". This will lead you to a page that will show you all bids you have both lost and won in our auctions.
Yes! We offer in-house packing and shipping of our items.
If you want us to ship your items, please forward your invoice to our shipping department at shipping@blackandgoldauctions.com. Packing and shipping will be handled in-house on smaller items.
For exceptionally heavy, fragile, awkward, or those that consist of large numbers of items, such as sets of dishes, the packing charge will be based on the amount of materials and labor required. The actual cost of the postage will be added to the packing charge to determine the total shipping charge. You always have the option of picking up your items at our office, or having someone pick up the items for you. Just let us know as we pack and ship the beginning of the next week after the auction close.
Our carriers of choice are FedEx Ground and USPS, whichever is most economical. If you have other shipping preferences, please let us know and we will try to accommodate them.
Please understand our shipping rates entirely depend on the requirements of the carriers. If you have any questions about our shipping policies, please feel free to call or email shipping@blackandgoldauctions.com.
Claims for items broken during the shipping process will need to be filed by us, so please reach out to the shipping department if your item has been damaged in transit.
Payment is expected on the day of pickup for online. We accept cash, credit cards, and certified checks. Local buyers can use credit cards, cash, or personal check. Nothing will be removed from the auction site until it is paid for.
If an item has not been picked up by the 12pm on the Saturday following the end of an auction, an additional late pick up fee of $25 will be added to your order and the card on file with HiBid will be charged the full amount. If payment cannot be collected by this time, the items will automatically become forfeit and will be relisted in the next auction. If items have been successfully charged and paid for but are not picked up with the end of the day the Wednesday following the auction, this will result in a forfeiture. The items will be relisted, and no refund will be issued.
We make every attempt to contact the buyer and schedule a pick-up time or shipment. Items purchased in online auctions and not picked up by 12pm Saturday following the close of the auction will incur a $25 late pick up fee and charged to the card on file with HiBid. Items will be held for 10 days, after which the item(s) will become the property of Black and Gold Auctions and will be resold at auction or disposed of with no refund issued. You are still liable for your bids even if you do not claim your items.
You are not able to remove bids that have been placed. If you are the winning bidder, you assume responsibility for said items. Please reach out before bidding on items if you are unsure or have questions.
All items are sold AS IS and with NO WARRANTY. It is the bidder's responsibility to determine the condition of the items and bid accordingly. Even if an item is listed as new in box, all items must be considered as previously owned/used. We cannot guarantee the item will be in full retail condition. If an item has been guaranteed by the consignor or listed as tested, then a refund will be issued. If you believe an item was misrepresented, please notify us within 24 hours of purchase.
We use the leading software system in the industry to catalog every item.
For online auctions, we download the winning bids into our system within 24 hours and email winning bidders an invoice. You will receive an invoice with each lot you won and the amount. We keep a record of your purchases and can print out your entire purchase history.

To our valued customers that have or are inquiring about firearms in the auction. Please know that we have filed for our FFL and unfortunately are at the mercy of the ATF and can give no timeframe at this time. As we learn more information we will continue to update the website to reflect when we will be able to start accepting and auctioning off Firearms again. Until we have our FFL, we are still able to accept ammunition and accessories. We are more than happy to add your name to our wait list for contact after we receive our FFL or we have enough interest to take on an outside FFL.

Everything sells at an auction! Well, not everything, but almost. We sell antique and modern furniture, small and large appliances, household items, cars, trucks, guns, coins, jewelry, lamps, and so much more! Just ask us and we can find someone who wants it.
Coins, precious metals, and firearms generally always do well. Email us at sell@blackandgoldauctions.com and we will be more than happy to talk about sales trends and what is selling well in our area.
Yes. We do our best to weed out items that cannot be repaired and that should be discarded. When you bring items to the auction we ask that it be in good condition. You will get the most money for items that are in good working condition and that are clean.
Clothing (unless vintage or specialty) does not sell well and we suggest donating clothing to your local charity.
Pressboard furniture, older box TVs, food, and computer monitors tend not to do well at auction.
We try to keep our lot values at $20+. The lot selections are at Black and Gold’s discretion depending on quality and condition.

We are an absolute auction that sells items to the highest bidder regardless of price. There are some exceptions that are put in place in writing as an agreement between the seller and the auction house on a case to case basis at Black and Gold’s discretion.
We typically run items through auctions within 1 to 2 weeks after we receive them.
Each auction is different and we do our best to get your items in the right auction where they will bring the most money.
Do I have to pay advertising costs for my auction?
We only charge advertising cost with real estate auctions. We won’t charge for any other auction advertising costs.
We only charge advertising cost with real estate auctions. We won’t charge for any other auction advertising costs.
We make our money by charging a commission on what we sell at auction. Rest assured; we will try to get the best price for you. Our commissions are based on the items you are selling and the method in which we use to sell them.
Our auction services include all advertising, equipment, our facility (if required), and marketing. We will never charge you for the use of our building, tables, auction software, photographs, or marketing materials.
Black and Gold has up to 30 days to release payments after auction close. However, for the Thursday Weekly auctions, consignment checks are written approximately 7-10 days after the closing of the auction and mailed or deposited via ACH.
Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is be the highest bidder on the lot in question and pay for the item. It is very important to be sure you are ready to part with your property before you hand them over to us.
No! We will handle all the details. For online auctions, you can watch your items sell real time. We handle pick up of the items. You drop them off, you get cash after the auction. It is that simple.
We use the leading software system in the industry to keep track of every item we auction to the highest bidder and every person that does business with us.
As a seller, we assign you a number. Each piece of property you consign is cataloged and assigned to your seller number and then given its own lot/inventory number for a specific auction. At the end of an auction, we provide you a settlement report that lists each item’s lot number, description, and what the lot sold for at auction as opposed to a lump sum. We keep a seller history with everything we have ever auctioned for you in our system and can access it if the need arises later.
