Smith’s Antique & Auction Service 111 River Avenue Leechburg, Pennsylvania  15656 724-845-7162 New Absentee Bidding Website: About two years ago Smith’s Antique and Auction Service started offering an on-line option  to submit absentee bids for our monthly auctions.  This service worked really well and  customer’s who were not able to attend our auctions benefited from the option of being able  to to see the item and bid on if from their computer.  Unfortunately the host of the service  decided to discontinue offering it about a year after we started using it and we had to start  searching for an alternative.  Since that time we have tried a number of different services in  order to continue offering the on-line absentee bidding but for one reason or another they  didn’t work out. We are now happy to announce the launch of our new absentee bidding service,  www.smithauctionbid.com.  This new service is a stand-alone site that allows registered  users to bid on items just like they would on other bidding sites.  You can either place a  single bid or enter a maximun which will increment as other users bid until the auction  concludes or you are outbid.  The on-line auctions will be scheduled to end at 6:00PM (EST) on the day prior to the live auction.  At the conclusion of the on-line auction, the MAXIMUM  bid of the winning bidders will be processed as absentee bids for our live auctions.  The  absentee bids will be used during the live auction and if the absentee bidder is the winning  bidder he/she will be notified following the auction (notifications may not be sent until the  Monday following the auction) of the winning bid amount and to arrange for payment. We believe that this new site allows us the options we need to continue this service while  providing our customers with an easy to use service.  As we move forward we will be making  some minor changes to the site, mostly with the design and layout, but the function of the  site will remain as it currently is.  We hope that this new site will benefit our customers.  Consignments: We are currently accepting consignments  for upcoming auctions.  Whether you have  coins, currency, antques, or collectibles  contact us to discuss the possibility of  selling these items for you.  For those local  to the Leechburg, Pennsylvania are we  can arrange for an on-site evaluation or  pick-up of needed.  If you have items you  would like to sell at auction please contact  us at info@smithauctionsvc.com.
