Buying at Luke's Auctions
The Niagara Region has become a popular retirement community over the past 20 years, and Luke's Auctions has had the privilege of handling quality and quantity within the community. Our auction process begins with preview and inspection of the merchandise. Clients can view and inspect the items in person on the day of the auction, and are required to register for a bid number to start the buying process. Preview pictures of future sales are available on our website, and final set-up pictures are taken the night prior to the auction. We encourage clients to listen carefully to the auctioneer for pertinent information on the items being sold.
Successful buyers are responsible for paying for their purchases plus buyer's premium and taxes on the day of the auction. All purchases must be removed within two days of the auction, and arrangements for delivery can be made. We accept cash, and all sales are final.
