Why do I need a Mississippi auctioneer bond?

The Mississippi Auctioneers Commission requires auctioneers to post $10,000 surety bonds to work within the state.

The bond protects any person who suffers losses from any misrepresentation, fraud, or violation of the act committed by the principal while on the job.
