Bidder permission request…

I understand that, this auction has a specific schedule for pick-up of items and that if I do not pickup items… this could result in additional fees for either a delayed pickup or loss of items without refund.

If I elect to have an item shipped it could take up to 10 days after the close of the auction for those item(s) to be prepared for delivery.  The final cost for delivery is mine as the bidder.  If later you elect to pick up and cancel your shipping, you will be charged the appropriate delayed pickup fees. 

Lastly, we collect sales tax on all applicable items based on the location of the items you bid on… whether it is shipped or not, unless you have a tax-exempt certificate and complete the exempt form.

SCHEDULED PICKUP  –  DELAYED PICKUP OR THIRD-PARTY PICKUP

All items purchased must be removed on a timely basis.  Due to the large number of bidders at each auction event and our limited staff we must follow guidelines for the removal of the items won by you in order to make room for new auctions, cleanup the auction site, while attempting to be fair to all concerned.  Below are our current guidelines and are part of the auction terms and condition.

The time and days listed above are the planned pick-up times… please plan to arrive within these times and days as listed.

Can’t make it to the scheduled pickup?

We understand that things happen which might cause you to miss the scheduled pickup times or you want to bid on an item(s) and you already know that your schedule will not allow you to be at the planned pickup.

If this happens to you may notify us prior to auction close by calling our office at 864.712.9566 or you can reply to the invoice email with  “Delayed Pickup"  in the subject line. By doing this form we will secure your item for latter pickup.   Sometimes the delay pickup will be at the original location and a fee will be charged for us needing to return and meet you.  Other delayed pickups  require us to remove the items to our facility... if this is done, pickup must be completed within  10 days following the auction event, subject to our current auction schedule. After that day pickup of those items will no longer be available.

The cost for removal delayed pickup is as follows:  $15.00 fee for the first crate of items (20x30 inches) and $5.00 for each additional crate needed to hold your merchandise. Please also note that we also charge an additional $20.00 for oversize or bulky items which may require hand trucks or more than one person to handle the item.

Finally, as part of our bidding terms we automatically charge your invoice for your purchases and for delay pickup unless you notify us  before the pickup period ends instructing us to donate the item(s) to one of one of our local charities which operates thrift stores in the area. You may do this as well, by replying to the invoice email with “Charge and Donate in the subject line.

Plan to have someone else pickup?

If you plan to have someone else pickup your merchandise at the scheduled pickup times or even at a delay pickup time   you should notify us at the time of invoice, you can reply to the invoice email with “Third Party Pickup" in the subject line.  We will run your card on file based on the invoice and pickup schedule and allow the individual you designated to pick up your item(s).

We hope that these options help you retrieve your items easily and in a timely manner.  However, if you need additional assistance, we invite you to call us and see if we can assist you further.  Our auction company and its staff respect and value each of you and we strive at each auction to make your experience an enjoyable one

Sales Tax Collection

Our Policy…

In order to reduce the difficulty of when to collect sales tax and/or who to send it to… our auction terms for participation in our auction(s) now designates that the “point of delivery” for any item(s) purchased from us … no matter what method of purchase is used… is the address location of the item.  Even if you are having an item shipped to you… the point of acceptance by the delivery agent will be considered the Delivery Location  that the item was shown in the auction information as the “auction location” or “auction site” and the approximate sales tax or that location will be charged, collected and sent to the appropriate agency.  No Refund of sales tax will be made once those money’s have been reported and paid to the state agency.

Therefore, all Non-titled items purchased (Unless a Sales Tax Exception Agreement is on file) will be charged sales tax based on the address listed as point of delivery.   Since titled items usually require the purchaser to pay other fees and/or the difference in taxes that our state collects… we will NOT Charge tax on the sale of items that have a title.  Any and all taxes associated with this type of item will be the full responsibility of the purchaser to report as wells as the payment of the tax due by you in accordance with your state's rules and regulations.
