This is one way for an auctioneer to keep track of the, people wiio attend kils sales so that h. can keep theni informed of upcomlng auctions. After you register, you wil be given a numbered bidding card. It is important for you to use thus card when you bld, since the. auctioneer only knows many 0f kils bidders by number, not by name. This is how he keeps track of who bas bougiit a speciflc item. Wkien you regiter, b. sure Wo find out from the 1 door clerk wbat the terms of thieauction are- -wiietkier credit cardsor cheques are accepted, and if tiiere are movers available tW transport large furlture.
