Auctions Are Our
Business
Why Sachs 5th Auction?
Sachs 5th Auction has been in business since 1998. 
The Principal Auctioneer, Lorraine Sachs Garcia, has a National Auctioneer Association's CAI designation, and strictly adheres to the NAA's Code of Ethics. In addition, Lorraine is a licensed Realtor®.
Our Auction House is located in downtown Belen, New Mexico. Family owned and operated, we strive to hold the best, most professional 
auctions possible, held anywhere. In addition, we want our auctions to be a fun, entertaining experience for all. We are very proud of our auction house. You can see an example (photo) of the wonderful murals we have throughout the interior of our auction house by two fine artists, Gwen Thorman and Loretta Sachs.
Although fast paced, our auctions have a relaxed atmosphere. Our auction house is clean and comfortable, with nice restroom facilities. You need not go hungry here either. The Breakfast Optimist Club has a concession stand onsite. You can have your coffee and donut in the morning, and a grilled hamburger & chips for lunch. Their menu is very reasonably priced, and the Optimists retain all proceeds from their sales to benefit youth programs.
We Are a Great Auction House & Want
You to
Know How It Works, and How to Enjoy It!
We are always updating our Auctions 101 page, but if you have any questions, please contact us!
We listen to comments from both consignors and bidders. Therefore, we will endeavor to clarify, as best as possible, how auctions work. Visit our Auctions 101 page. We update it regularly in an effort to communicate our policies to both our buyers and consignors, as well as some information that we feel may be beneficial. Have a question? Contact Us!
Do we have to to this? No. What you see on this site is more than adequate in the industry, and more than most auction houses do. It covers much more than is standard. However,
we are much better than most auction houses, and we strive to be the Best!
We make a great effort to describe each lot. Some lots warrant more scrutiny than others. We want to get the best bid possible for the consignor, and for us. This is where we make our money. However, we have an obligation to the buyer as well. We never, never, ever, intentionally misrepresent an item. It is important as a bidder to read the description. We endeavor to do the most accurate description possible for a lot. That being said, this is still an auction, and "As Is" "Where Is" always applies. This is what makes it an auction, and sometimes a gamble, and fun. As a buyer, once the catalog is up, do your own research. You could get a bargain! Click here for more information about our statements concerning condition.
Can't make it to one of our live auctions? Bid Online! Through www.proxibid.com/sachs you can bid ahead of time, or live in real time during our simulcast auction. Some of our local customers enjoy our auctions from the comfort of their homes, and pick up their purchases after the auction. For those of you who are not local, we can ship your winning bid to you.
More About Our Auctions, You Can Scratch Your Nose!
New to auctions? Although fast paced, we don't go so fast that someone new to auctions can't follow. Also, If you scratch your nose or wave at a friend and we take that as a bid, we will back out that "bid" upon your request. Just jump up and down and let us know you didn't mean it! We don't expect you to sit on your hands, which would make it very difficult to eat those Optimist's Nachos you just bought. Check out our Auctions 101 page for additional information! (However, you can scratch your nose all you want online.)
For our experienced auction customers. Of course, we will spot that hand going slightly up for your bid, as always. Never fear.
Notice to all of our on-site bidders: There is a slight delay because of the feed from our online bidders, (technology is not perfect). Sometimes we have to re-open a bid after it has been declared sold because of this. It is the nature of the beast. We ask you to understand.
