TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

By registering on our websites, you are confirming you have read, understand, and accept these TERMS AND CONDITIONS and our PRIVACY POLICY.

You, as the buyer, agree to the following terms:

BIDDING AGREEMENT

By bidding, you are agreeing to following the TERMS AND CONDITIONS and are entering into a legally binding agreement to complete the purchase of the lots you successfully win.

BIDDING METHODS

We accept bids through our automated system on our online auction site.

We also accept bids via phone and email. Please contact us and we will assist you in placing bids.

Our auction system uses "proxy bidding." Proxy bidding allows a bidder to place a bid amount at the next increment level or higher. In the event the amount is higher (maximum) than the next minimum required, the auction system will bid only as needed, automatically on your behalf, up to the maximum amount of your bid. The proxy bidding system will not reveal your maximum bid to other bidders.

BIDDING

All bids must be submitted in whole dollars ($1).

The first bid on an item can be any whole dollar amount at or above the opening bid amount. Following the first bid, the next bids are placed at the bidding increments below.

Minimum Bidding increments once the initial bid has been placed are as follows:

$1 to $100......................$5
$100 to $300..................$10
$300 to $500..................$20
$500 to $1,000...............$25
$1,000 to $2,500............$50
$2,500 to $5,000............$100
$5,000 and up................$250

LOT CLOSING

We use staggered closing. Lot 1 will close at 8:00 p.m. Mountain Time. The subsequent lots will then start closing at 30 second intervals after Lot 1.

We use a Five Minute Timer also known as a soft close. Five minutes before the lot closing time, as explained above, the five minute timer per lot begins. If a lot receives a bid during the five minute timer, the lot closing time is extended for five minutes. A lot will close once there has been no bid during the extended lot closing time.

BUYERS PREMIUM

There is a 10% Buyers Premium for all bidders.

PAYMENT

We accept all major credit cards, Paypal, Venmo, cashiers checks, bank transfers, and money orders. There are no additional fees for which ever payment method you prefer.

We offer a layaway plan. This plan requires that you contact us for pre-approval. The first layaway payment is a minimum 25% non-refundable deposit. We offer 90 days same as cash layaway payment terms. All Layaway purchases need to be completed within the 90 days. If you fail to complete the layaway payment within the 90 days, we reserve the right to cancel the purchase and retain the 25% deposit. We understand life happens, and we are very reasonable, so please communicate with us and we will work with you if you need additional time.
