Who we are

John Carl Auction Company, 8 W Elizabeth Street, Maytown, Pennsylvania 17550. You can reach us at [email protected] or on (717) 618-9727.

This policy covers johncarlauctions.com. It does not cover the third-party bidding platform where our auction catalogs and bidder accounts are hosted. That platform operates under its own privacy policy, and if you register to bid, your account information is held by them rather than by us.
