How to Buy

Private Sales

Our experience has taught us that there will always be clients whose interests and timings will not match our auction calendar.  For this reason, our specialists are responsible for both auction sales and private sales and that their expertise is always readily available throughout the year.  Our Acquire Now offers a curated selection of lots.

Payment and Delivery

Payment is expected within seven (7) days after the auction day.  For our US clients, we accept wire transfers, bank ACH, and Zelle.  You can send a Zelle payment online even if you don’t bank with Chase.  Pay with the Zelle Mobile App, your Bank’s App, or online.  Several major US banks participate in Zelle.

For our international clients, we only accept bank wire transfers.

Bid Online

You can bid live online with us through LiveAuctioneers.  If you do not already have an account, you can register here.  Each of our auctions requires a new request for you to bid live.  By bidding at auction, you agree to be bound by our Conditions of Sale.  As stated in our Conditions of Sale, the buyer agrees to pay Baer & Bosch Auctioneers, Inc a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.  The buyer’s premium for purchases is twenty-seven percent (27%) of the successful hammer price on each lot sold.

Payment to Owners of Lots

Commissions

The commission charged to sellers depends on the type of item being different for watches, art, furniture, antiques, or jewelry. A commission must be added that expenditure and the taxes. The works of some authors are subject to copyright law and the same will apply the appropriate tax, where applicable.

Shipping

How is sales tax calculated?

WY and FL state residents are required to pay state sales tax unless a current valid resale certificate issued by the state is sent to us.  International clients are responsible for any import duties, VAT, or local taxes they may incur during the importation of their purchased lots.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we do ship internationally via insured UPS.  All packages are shipped with insurance, a tracking number, and require a signature upon delivery, therefore no package will be shipped without these three requirements.

What shipping methods do you offer?

All items are shipped via insured UPS.  Due to the insurance values, all of these methods will require a signature upon delivery.  In some special cases, we will ship via Malca Amit armed guard services.
