Responsible Bidding:

A bid is an agreement to purchase the item(s). A bid means you are committed to purchasing and picking up your item(s). Please do not bid if you do not plan to purchase; play nice! **If we have not received payment or heard from you by 2pm on Saturday, December 20th, we may offer your item(s) to the next highest bidder. Please do not bid unless you can pick up your items on Sunday, December 21st or are willing to pay for handling and shipping costs.** We do not have storage facilities so we cannot store items. Items left at the premises will be offered to the next highest bidder or retained by owner. Bidding privileges may be suspended if you default on this agreement.

**Don't hesitate to bid due to the reserve; the owner will review the highest bid upon completion and has the option to accept bids below the reserve.**

PayPal will accept credit card numbers even if you don’t have a PayPal account. You can also call us with your credit card number (248) 836-8244. All items must be paid for when you receive your online invoice that is emailed to you. All items must be paid for before they are picked up or shipped.

Pickup Instructions:

Pickup is available during the period listed above. After the auction ends, auction winners will receive an invoice from Caring Transitions. You will be asked to make an appointment for pickup, at which time we will provide the exact address for pick up. E-mail Terry Ondusky at TOndusky@CaringTransitions.net to make a pickup appointment, arrange for shipping, or with any questions. Please bring your PayPal receipt with you to claim your merchandise. Buyer must bring enough physical resources to lift, carry, load and transport their purchases.



1. Invoice: We will send an invoice to auction winners after the online auction ends. The invoice will provide the buyer with the purchase amount, the exact address for picking up the purchase and other important details. PLEASE WAIT FOR YOUR INVOICE TO BE EMAILED TO YOU PRIOR TO PAYING. This way, all items that you have won will be on one invoice.

2. Additional Costs: 15% Buyer’s Premium will be added to the winning/purchase price for online auctions.

3. To Pay: Seller requires pre-payment through PayPal. Payment must clear PayPal before 12 noon the day before pick-up so please process payment as soon as you receive your invoice. Exceptions to this rule will only be made if you have a consistent history of buying and paying with CT and Buyer must communicate with CT before pick-up for an approved alternative method of payment.

4. If You Don’t Pay: The Buyer must pay for auctioned property before pick up unless other arrangements are made. Buyers who have not paid for property before pickup and have not communicated to CT with an approved alternative method forfeit any claim to the property and that forfeited property may be sold to another buyer immediately.

5. Property that has been paid for yet has not been picked-up by the end of the pick up period will be charged a $25.00 transport fee and a $3.00 per day storage fee for handling and storing their items. If the size of the item is such that a special trip is required to transport the item, then mileage ($0.55/mile) and an hourly fee of $50.00/hr will also be imposed. Property paid for and not picked up within 7 days of the end of pick up will be considered abandoned and will be resold, and subject to no refund. Exceptions to this rule will be if the Buyer has an acceptable and/or on-going agreement with CT to pick-up their items at a later time.

6. Pick Up Day: Communicate with us to schedule when you will be arriving on Pick-Up Day. Giving us an idea of when you will be arriving will help us have your items ready. Please bring enough help and tools to pack, lift, carry, load, and secure your purchases and bring a vehicle with enough space to hold your items. Items that are small and/or fragile will need additional wrapping to avoid breakage. Items that are large may need additional manpower to load so please plan accordingly to bring whatever assistance is needed. This is the Buyer’s responsibility. Days/times of pick-up are set and cannot be flexible for many reasons so please adhere to our parameters.

7. Everything is sold as is where is. No warranties are given or implied and we do not guarantee the working order of any electronic or mechanical device. Dimensions given may be approximate. If you have questions about operational status or the item’s condition please send us an email with your question or call us before bidding. Despite our best efforts to accurately describe property it is likely that the buyer and seller may have a difference of opinion on the condition of a piece of property. It is the buyer’s responsibility to review the photos, research, and ask questions before bidding. All items are sold as is and cannot be modified. In the case of obvious faults (chips, cracks, significant damage, etc) we do our best to list the fault within the description. We will provide descriptions based on our neutral and professional assessment of an item. However, we do not assume that our assessment of condition will be the same as your assessment. Most of the items we sell are used, antique, or vintage. You should expect normal signs of wear consistent with age. We will not list every flaw associated with each item and flaws are to be expected. All sales are final – no refunds. Note: many times items may be stored in a garage or warehouse environment so items may need some cleaning before use or bringing into your own home.

8. Once a bid is placed it cannot be changed. Please make sure you are cognizant of the amount and location of the item you are placing a bid for. All bidders must be eighteen (18) years of age or older. CTOnlineAuctions.com will bid incrementally for you up to your maximum bid. Your maximum bid is kept a secret from other users. The exception to this rule is when your maximum bid is placed on an item with a reserve and your bid is less than the reserve. In that case, your maximum bid amount will be shown. Extra time may be added at the discretion of Caring Transitions when bids are placed near the time that the sale begins to close to allow all bidders the same chance to win the item. You will be notified by emails confirming your bid, when you have been outbid and/or you have won the item. See the Help section for more information on bid increments, terminology, and auction site details. Due to such a wide range of technical variables such as internet connections, speed, hardware/software issues, etc,CaringTransitions will not be responsible for missed bids. Caring Transitions has full discretion to modify any details of the online auction for any reason.

9. ATTENTION NEW BUYERS: If you are new to Caring Transitions Online Auctions please do the following: Immediately at the close of the auction pay using PayPal and make contact with us so that we know that you are cognizant of your responsibilities to pay and pick-up on time. Be aware that your bid is a contract to pay for the items you win. You are responsible for honoring it. Please email or call if you have questions or difficulty processing your purchase.

10. Disappointingly, we occasionally have bidders who “win” an auction and we never hear from them. Please do not bid if you are not willing and able to immediately pay for the property you win and pick up on the designated day. Bidding privileges may be suspended or deactivated if you default on this agreement. If you do not pay by 2:00pm the day before the start of Pick-Up then the item will be sold to another buyer. In most auctions we do not have the option of a later pick-up time. The items must be gone from the premises by the end of that pick-up time.
