Payment
A 12% Buyer’s Premium will be added to each invoice.
Invoices will be automatically charged at the end of each auction using your credit card that is on file. An invoice receipt will be emailed to you after the end of each auction and payment has been processed. We use Stripe as our payment processor. Your credit card information is stored on Stripe and not our website. It is very secure.
Merchandise Pick-up
The pick-up location will be posted on the winning bidder's invoice along with the designated pick-up time.
If you cannot make the pick-up time, please arrange to have someone you trust pick-up the item or arrange to have us ship you the items (additional charge). The person you have pick-up your items will need the invoice for the item listing that it has been paid.
Failure to Pick-Up or Pay for Merchandise: If a buyer fails to pick-up or pay for their winning merchandise, their account may be suspended - especially if they are a repeat offender. Bidding privileges will only be reinstated when the buyer pays all invoices in full whether or not the merchandise is still available to the buyer.
Transporting Items: If a buyer cannot make a pick-up at the location of an estate and they would like us to transport their items back to our Chardon location, we can do so for a fee. The fee will be based on the size and quantity of items in the order. We will provide a cost to provide this service.
Shipping
Refer to each auction sale for terms on shipping. This may vary depending on the sale. If you have further questions about shipping, please contact the Auction Manager directly.
Inspection of Merchandise
The condition of each sale item is represented in the description of that item. There is always room for interpretation with describing the condition of items. Please understand that many of the items we sell are from an estate, are in used condition, and will show general signs of wear and tear. If you need additional information about an item, please contact the Auction Manager of that sale.
All sale items are sold “as-is”. There will be no warranties or refunds for items that are found to be in non-working condition. We will do our best to test all items and list whether they are working or non-working under the item description. We may also list items as “un-tested”, meaning we do not know of the working condition of that item.
