Northeast Kansas' best kept secret for savvy shoppers is the Topeka based A1 Auction House. Have you ever wondered what happens to the returns and overstock goods from retailers like Amazon, Target, Home Depot, Walmart, and other large retailers? The answer is closer than you think.
If you are looking to buy Amazon and customer return goods in the Topeka and Lawrence, KS area you have to visit A1 Auction House. Shopping with A1 is better than you imagined, because everything is done from home! There's no digging in bins or fighting large crowds. You simply bid online anytime.
A1 Auction House is our sister company and buys truckloads of return and overstock items. They sort through the items and then post them in online auctions. The variety is seemingly endless. You can find baby goods, kitchen appliances, tools, toys, electronics, and so much more.
The items are all different and it's important to review the description and pictures before bidding, so you know the condition and notes on that particular item. The items all start at just $5 or less.
The items will often sell for way under regular retail prices. Some people have scored lego sets for up to 80% off retail or even a Dyson vacuum for 70% off retail. The "won" prices do not include the sales tax or buyers premium. A1 Auction House prides itself in having one of the lowest buyers premium amount
s in the area. The buyers premium is just 10% of what the total item sales for.
With hundreds of new items being listed and sold every week it's crucial to keep an eye on the auctions. One of the best features is the proxy bidding which allows you to make a "max bid" amount so you can walk away and not have to watch the auction every single day.
