Why buy at auction

Better than retail. More exciting than a garage sale.

Real value, real prices

Auction pricing is determined by the market, not a sticker. You set the price by how much you're willing to pay, and often walk away well under retail.

Inspect before you bid

We encourage previewing items before every auction. Start the engine, check the item, and bid with confidence. We want you to know what you're buying.

New inventory every week

No two auctions are the same. Estate contents, farm dispersals, business liquidations. Fresh lots every week means there's always something worth watching.

Fair & open to everyone

Every bidder has an equal shot. No insider pricing, no private sales. The highest bidder wins.

Local & trusted

Prime Time has been part of the Pocatello community for 50+ years. We're honest, fair, and here long after the auction closes if you have questions.

Shipping available

Can't make it in person? Shipping is available on most items, so you can win from anywhere in the region and we'll get it to you.

Common questions

Good to know before you bid.

How does the online bidding timer work?

Most auctions use a 20-second stagger: lots close one by one, 20 seconds apart. If a bid is placed within the final 2 minutes of a lot closing, the timer extends by 2 more minutes. This keeps bidding competitive until the very end.

Are items sold as-is?

Yes, all items are sold as-is. That's why we strongly encourage previewing before you bid. Our sellers are required to disclose any known major problems, and those are noted in the lot description.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, check, and major credit or debit cards. Online buyers have two business days after the auction closes to pay: in person, by phone, or online.

Do I need to register every time?

No, register once and you're set. Your online account carries over to all future auctions automatically. Just log in and start bidding.

Is shipping available?

Yes, shipping is available on most items. Check the individual lot description or contact us at (208) 232-4912 for shipping details on a specific item.

Where does the merchandise come from?

Items are consigned from individuals, families, businesses, banks, and bankruptcy trustees. Consignor identity is confidential, but our sellers are motivated to sell and are required to disclose known issues.
