An auction is a public sale where a large group of people gather to bid on items. The goal is to beat out the other bidders and purchase the item for the highest price possible. Many people in the Kansas City metro area hold auctions to sell personal items and property. The proceeds of these sales go to the state.
Interested buyers are usually allowed to preview items before the auction. This gives them the opportunity to examine the properties in detail. The preview period can last from the day before the auction to a few hours prior to the scheduled start. Subscribers will also receive updates about the auction. They will be notified of new auctions and other information.
