Find An Auction
Browse our current auctions to see what’s open for bidding. From residential real estate to farm equipment and collectibles, each auction has its own catalog with detailed photos, descriptions and terms.
Click into any listing to view individual lots, watch items you’re interested in, or jump straight to the bidding.
Place Your Bid
When you’re ready, you may place a bid or place a max bid.
- Regular Bid: Enter your starting bid and continue to place bids through the system.
- Max Bid: Set your highest bid and let the system automatically bid in the lowest increment until your max is reached.
Once you click submit you’re placing a legally binding offer, so double-check your amount before confirming and read our terms and conditions.

Auction Close & Winning Bids
Once the auction closes, you’ll be notified if you’ve won. Your invoice will include the purchase total and other important details. Each auction has specific terms — review those carefully for payment deadlines, pickup windows, or closing dates. After you receive your invoice, you'll receive a second email from Shipping Saint (our trusted scheduling and shipping provider), where you will be asked to select your pickup appointment or request shipping. If you have any questions after winning, our team is just a
phone call away.
Payment & Pickup
Invoices can be paid online or in person at the designated pickup. Read our terms and conditions for payment details and other important information specific to the auction. Be sure to arrive during the scheduled pickup time — it keeps the process quick and easy for everyone. For real estate, closing is handled through a local title company with Atterberry Auction & Realty Company's guidance.
