Why people keep coming back:
If you are planning a full Green Dragon day, the auction is an easy add-on to your Friday routine.
If you have never participated in a bid auction before, do not worry. The pace can feel fast at first, but it becomes second nature quickly.
Here’s how to feel prepared:
1) Preview before you bid
Arrive early enough to walk through and check the condition of items you are interested in. If you have questions, ask an auction staff member when appropriate.
2) Set a budget in advance
Auctions are exciting, and it’s easy to get caught up in the moment. Decide your max bid ahead of time for big-ticket items like furniture.
3) Bid clearly and confidently
When you want an item, raise your hand or use the bidding signal the auctioneer recognizes. If you are done bidding, simply stop.
4) Know the costs
Your final total typically includes the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium (listed as 13%). If you pay with cash or a good PA check, there is a 3% discount.
5) Plan for pickup and transport
If you are bidding on furniture, bring help and the right vehicle when possible. It makes checkout and loading much easier.
6) Make it a habit
The best part of a weekly household auction is that you do not have to “win” every week. If you miss out on an item, there will be something new next Friday.
Make Green Dragon part of your Friday routine and come experience the Household Goods and Furniture Auction in person. Whether you’re looking for furniture, household essentials, or that unexpected perfect find, there’s always something new up for bid each week.
