Bidders will need to bring their own help for lifting/loading items into their vehicles. Payments can be made in person via cash or card at time of pick up or can be paid securely online through your account. If payment is made online, items must still be picked up during the designated time frame specified on the auction listing or the paid items will be deemed forfeited and resold for the cost of storage - no refunds. Bidder is acknowledging this by accepting these terms and submitting the online payment.

      3. 15% buyers premium will be added to all purchases. Indiana tax law regulates that tax be charged on top of the buyers premium. (A buyers premium is a fee that auctions charge to run their service).

      4. All items are sold AS IS. No warranties. The descriptions of items on the catalog or advertising are believed to be correct however, neither those descriptions nor any oral statement made by the auction company concerning any item shall be construed as a warranty either expressed or implied.

Once you register and agree to these terms and conditions and place a bid you are legally bound to these terms and conditions as it is considered a contract.

      11. To protect our sellers and buyers, ALL first time bidders will be required to complete a one time 2 step verification in order to get  registered. What this means: upon registration you will be prompted to enter in your phone number to verify your information. Follow the prompts on the screen to be sent a verification code via text to validate your phone number and create your account. This is a ONE time process, and will occur the first you register.

      12. Auto/Max bid feature: Auto bidding  option makes bidding more convenient by allowing you to enter in your maximum bid amount that you are willing to bid on an item (not including buyers premium or tax). Other bidders do not have access to see your auto bid amount. Your auto bid will not “jump” to the max amount unless another bidder already has an auto in place when you enter yours. Otherwise, the auto bid will increment only with other competing bids until the item closes. In the case of tie bids, or if 2 auto bids are entered as the same amount, the bid that was placed first will be given precedence and be the winning bidder.

      13. If a bidder has failed to pay or pick up during the designated time, all bidding privileges will be revoked. Repeated tardiness for auction item pick ups will also result in bidding privileges being revoked. Any paid/unpaid items not removed by close of pick up time designated on the invoice and the auction listing will be subject to storage fees, restock fees, and collection or legal fees for loss due to bidders negligence. Legal action can and will be taken for repeat offenders of this policy. If you are unable to pay & pick up items during the designated time slot - DO NOT BID. 

     14. Bidders must be 18 years or older to register. Bidders are responsible for the security of their usernames/password/personal information. All information entered in registration must be complete, accurate, and current. Bidders must register and agree to the terms and conditions for each auction. 

     15. All auctions will close using a soft, staggering closing. A soft close ending means that if a bid is placed in the last few minutes before closing, the bidding for that lot will be extended by 3 minutes (this allows other interested bidders time to raise their bid before the lot closes). A staggered closing means that each lot will close 30 seconds after the previous lot so that all lots do not end at the same time (this allows bidders to have time to bid on multiple items they may be interested in).
