Set-Up and Viewing

Every article to be sold is professionally displayed in an attractive setting. Electrical products are plugged in and working, furniture is polished and glass and china are set on tables. Viewing times are scheduled prior to the sale to ensure that buyers have an opportunity to select the items in which they are interested.

Moving

If a customer requests his or her sale to be held at the auction house, Dixon's professional staff will pack the belongings and transport them to the auction house, using the company's own trucks, packing blankets, etc. (no U-Hauls, trailers, or open trucks). Dixon's offers the same careful pick-up service for one article or for an entire truckload, wrapped for protection and fully insured.

Packing

Before items to be sold are moved, they must be packed properly to ensure against damage. Dixon's Auctions, Inc has a team of professional packers who use special packing crates for all customers or, for those having an auction on their own premises, can provide the labor to move the articles to the sale site.

Insurance

Dixon's carries adequate insurance policies on both trucks and premises to ensure customers' property is fully covered for everything from damage to loss, whether in transit or storage, or on the auction floor.

Sale Dates

Dixon's offers flexibility for sale dates. Although auctions normally run every Wednesday Night year-round, if for some reason a customer prefers another day, everything possible is done to accommodate that request.

The Sale

Auctions are conducted in a timely manner and handlers show each article being sold, avoiding confusion. All items are described and any flaws are pointed out. This honesty creates trust and purchasers know exactly what they are buying.
