Yes they call at the end of the auction. I go pay aand pick it up. I never leave anything overnight since some people think its okay to steal.
That is the problem I have with auctions. Spend allot of time looking at sales I don't want or need. You have a good plan here.I walk through all the offerings and put in an absentee bid with the auctioneer and then leave and go about my business. You don't get caught up in the emotion and overbid and don't waste a whole day!
