(A) No licensee may conduct an auction in this State without first having a written agreement with the owner of any property to be sold. The agreement shall contain the terms and conditions upon which the licensee received the goods for sale. The licensee shall provide the owner with a signed copy of the agreement and shall keep at least one copy for three years from the date of the agreement. A written agreement is not required for a sale at auction if the sale is made at an auction house or similar place where members of the public are generally offered the opportunity to present goods for sale. Copies of all contracts must be made available to the commission or its designated agent upon request.
(B) A licensee shall maintain accurate records upon receipt of goods for auction and before their sale, which shall include the name and address of the person who employed the licensee to sell the goods at auction and the name and address of the owner of the goods to be sold. These records must be open for inspection by the commission or its designated agent upon request.
(C) A licensee shall have his pocket card license in his possession at each auction he conducts.
