To our Lyon Auction Family,
This has been a difficult few weeks for people all around the world, but we want you to know, our number one priority is the health and safety of our customers and employees.
We are carefully monitoring the situation and following guidance from the World Health Organization and other health authorities.
Employee wellbeing is also a top priority. We are encouraging team members to follow health authority best practices like frequent hand washing.
With all of that said, we would like to remind you that we have two incredible online bidding platforms to offer you; Proxibid & Nextlot. This enables you to bid from anywhere online; following guidelines of social distancing while maintaining the equipment needs of your small business. We feel your pain in this pandemic; and as the champion of people from local farmers to industry leaders, we want to be here as a resource for you, and help in any way we can.
Typically, we require a $10,000 wire transfer for all new online customers to be approved prior to bidding. Starting today, with 35+ upcoming auctions on the calendar, we will now ask for a (reduced) $5,000 wire transfer for new online customers. As always, this deposit will be applied to any purchases and if no purchase is made, the deposit will be immediately refunded. Our goal is to make the online bidding process easier to benefit both our customers and consignors. We recommend that you pre-register early for the upcoming auctions.

After more than 70 years in business, together we have weathered many storms. We will get through this as a family.
