Harlan J. Berk Ltd, buy or bid sales are essentially fixed price lists that run for nearly two months.

On the last day of the sale, items that have not sold outright at their full buy price are sold to the highest accepted offer below the buy price. Harlan J. Berk guarantees authenticity for life and never charges a buyer’s fee. You may pay 20% commission or more with others but at Harlan J. Berk Ltd. you choose your purchase price, unlike traditional auctions where there is no limit to what you can pay for a lot with no buyer’s fees.

In the first 48 hours after the launch of this sale Friday, September 17, at 5 pm, 120 lots were sold at their buy price. The HJB Buy or Bid Sale is a first-come, first-serve system, so anyone has a chance to buy what they like when the sale is first launched. So again, unlike traditional sales where the wealthiest always wins, here it is an even playing field.
