Thought I would post my findings on having a license or permit to auction. As some folks had brought up they believe we needed to have a license . We do not have to have a license just a Bond which I will purchase before the next swap-n-auctionmeet. Also I am working on finding an auctioneer to help build a better auction platform.
Auctioneer License Requirement:
There is no auctioneer license requirement in CA. However, California does mandate that auctioneers and auction companies must have a bond filed with the state of at least $20,000.00. The CA Department of Insurance maintains a list of current companies that can assist you in obtain a bond.
