Alright, I'm going to head up to the auction at the top of my street tomorrow evening and needed some auction etiquette....
I looked at the listing and there's some pretty cool stuff, but I don't know if I'll bid or not--I may just observe and see what happens. Now, on to the questions!!!
The auction listing says "No Buyers Premium". What does that mean?
When I arrive, do I have to register or sign up or anything?
They accept checks, cash, and all major credit cards, so that's not a big deal, at least there are options for payment (IF I bid  )
Hey Miss Wilma and Janice, look at these dolls that are on the auction...one I recognize as a Skokum Indian Doll--my mom has one that she bought in an antique shop in New Mexico :)

Jonnie am auction is a percentage tacked on to your final bid for an auction,That means if the percentage is 10 percent of final bid you have to pay that much more for your puschase, I do not attend this kind of auctions.Is the auction on the internetI would love to see what they are sellingand probably give you some tips there, Love ya little one

Hope you went and had a good time! The Skookum is cute. The largest china head looks like a reproduction. I hope you didn't buy it. I can't tell about the one with the blue outfit, but the legs look old. I like the parian head one(blondie, of course)-the bisque like finish-if she was cheap enough-she does need legs. I wish I could see the tiny one with the bonnet better-she has potential if she's old. And I wish I could make out the whimsical little creature in red.....I can't see her face or tell what she's made of. Next time, if they have a website, tell me earlier and I'll check it all out. Tell us about any goodies you scored! ;)

PS-It's almost impossible to avoid paying a buyer's premium around here any more. I don't know when that idea took hold, but it's here to stay, apparently. :(
