Auction Preview
Several days prior to the auction, all items which are to be sold are trucked to the Litchfield Firehouse’s spacious event hall and set up in room settings for the formal preview period. The preview period runs for two days prior to the auction. During this time, buyers are welcome to browse and inspect the items they are interested in bidding on. Our staff is available to answer any questions about the bidding process (in-house or absentee), the merchandise, payment, delivery, shipping or pick-up. The atmosphere of the preview is relaxed and social in contrast with the speed and excitement of the live auction.
Bidders who cannot attend the preview period may request additional photographs and condition reports (catalog link posted on website). Buyers may attend the auction or bid with confidence through absentee or phone bidding.
