FRIDAY 8PM
FINAL: PICKUP M-TH THE FOLLOWING WEEK 10-5 CLOSED 12-1 AT 15166 MARSH LN ADDISON ++++NOTE ON SHIPPING+++++ IN OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS WE SAY WE WONT SHIP ITEMS LARGER THAN WHAT WILL FIT IN A FLAT RATE BOX AS IT SITS WE ARE HAVING PEOPLE BUY SAY A 3RD OF AN AUCTION AND ASKING AFTER THE FACT TO BE SHIPPED IT IS CAUSING A CASCADING EFFECT ON THE AMOUNT OF SHIPPING WE HAVE. IM GOING TO ASK IF YOU ARE LOCAL UNLESS I REQUIRE IT AS A SHIP ONLY AUCTION TO COME PICKUP YOUR ITEMS. IF IT IS SMALLER AND IT WILL FIT IN FLAT RATE BOXES THEN MY CURRENT HANDLING FEE IS $5 FLAT PLUS SHIPPING IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SHIPPING WE WILL DO OUR VERY BEST TO ACCOMMODATE YOU, BUT IT WILL BE $10 PER BOX HANDLING FEE TO ALLOW FOR THE EXTRA TIME AND PACKAGING EXPENSE. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE TEMPORARY JUST UNTIL WE CAN RELIEVE THE PRESSURE. HOUSEKEEPING AND PROCEDURAL NOTES: 1. I MAY DESCRIBE SOMETHING AS A STYLE . IE TIFFANY STYLE LAMP, MURANO STYLE VASE, ETC... THIS IS COMMON IN DESCRIBING ITEMS. IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE ACTUAL TIFFANY LAMPS, ACTUAL MURANO ETC. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURES. IT MEANS THEY ARE DONE IN THE STYLE OF OR COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THAT. 2. WE ARE HURTING ON SPACE. WE ARE PACKED FULL TO THE BRIM AND IVE HAD TO SEEK ADDITIONAL STORAGE TO ACCOMODATE THE LARGE AMOUNT OF ESTATES WE ARE ACQUIRING. WE CAN ACCOMODATE SMALL ITEMS FOR LATE PICKUPS FOR A FEW DAYS AT THAT OR WE CAN SHIP. BUT LARGE FURNITURE CAN NOT BE PICKED UP LATE, WE JUST HAVE NOWHERE TO REALLY KEEP IT AT THE MOMENT. I WILL BE TRYING TO DO LARGER AUCTIONS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS, 700-800 LOTS. 3. PLASTIC BINS. MOST EVERYONE KNOWS THIS BUT FOR NEW BIDDERS WE USUALLY DON'T GIVE AWAY BINS WE WILL SPECIFICALLY TELL YOU IF IT IS ONE YOU CAN HAVE, AND WE HAVE BOXES, BUT BECAUSE WE REUSE THESE WE ASK THAT YOU TRANSFER ITEMS TO BOXES OR SOMETHING ELSE. IF WE HAVE A BOX WE WILL ALWAYS BE HAPPY TO GIVE ONE TO YOU. 4. CREDIT CARDS. WE REQUIRE A GOOD CREDIT CARD TO BE ON FILE SO WE CAN CHARGE IT THE NIGHT OF AUCTION. NOT HAVING ONE ON FILE MAKES IT TO WHERE WE HAVE TO FIND TIME TO HUNT DOWN PAYMENT. I USED TO BE VERY STRICT WITH THIS AND LAXED UP A BIT, BUT THE RULE IS WE NEED A CARD TO CHARGE THE NIGHT OF. IF YOU KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE LET US KNOW PRIOR TO AUCTION STARTING. GIVE US A GOOD CARD TO CHARGE VIA EMAIL. IF YOU CORRECT IT THROUGH HIBID IT WILL NOT TAKE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU REGISTER. I WORK ON AVERAGE 14-16 HOURS A DAY. AND EVERYONE ELSE PUTS IN A LOT OF TIME AS WELL, TRYING TO CALL AND HUNT DOWN PAYMENT THROWS THE WHOLE PROCESS OFF AND SLOWS IT ALL DOWN. I WILL GO BACK TO BLOCKING AND BANNING PEOPLE THAT DON'T AND JUST PUSHING THE ITEM TO A BACKUP BIDDER. 5. WEEKLY AUCTIONS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO PREVIEW M-THURSDAY 9-5 (CLOSED 12-1) WE ARE GETTING PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO TAKE ITEMS, SIGN FOR THEM AND THEN SAY THINGS ALONG THE LINES OF, I DIDNT NOTICE THIS, OR IT'S MISSING SOMETHING. THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THINGS IN THE AUCTION HOUSE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IF YOU SIGN FOR SOMETHING AND REMOVE IT FROM THE PREMISES THERE WILL NOT BE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON IT FROM THAT POINT FORWARD, IT PUTS US IN A HE SAID SHE SAID POSITION AND ESPECIALLY AFTER DAYS GO BY THE WHOLE FLOOR HAS CHANGED WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND OR LOCATE THE MISSING ITEM. WE URGE YOU TO PREVIEW. IF YOU CAN'T YOU ARE BIDDING ON IT SIGHT UNSEEN. IT IS AS IS WHERE IS AND AN AUCTION. ILL NEVER EVER EVER PURPOSEFULLY MISREPRESENT SOMETHING. AND I AM HUMAN...SO IF IT THERE IS AN ISSUE AND I MADE A MISTAKE THEN BRING IT UP THEN. NOT AFTER ITS BEEN REMOVED. COIN AND JEWELRY AUCTIONS, MAY OR NOT BE PRESENT AT THE LOCATION DURING THOSE TIMES. PLEASE CALL AHEAD BEFORE YOU COME TO PREVIEW THOSE, IT'S REALLY A HIT OR MISS IF ITS READY TO BE LOOKED AT. AND UNFORTUNATELY HOUSE SALES ARE NEVER GOING TO HAVE PREVIEWS.
