Bidding on each auction lot starts at $1.00. Pickup will be coordinated between winning bidder and Caring Transitions.
Bidding Terms & Conditions:
1. Placing a bid on an auction lot is an agreement to purchase. If you are the auction lot winning bidder, you are committed to purchasing and picking up your auction lot(s) at coordinated pickup date/time. Please DO NOT bid if you do not plan to purchase.
2. If you bid, you MUST be available or arrange for the pickup of your purchases on the scheduled pickup date, unless shipping/delivery arrangements were previously agreed to by Caring Transitions.
3. Bring necessary tools and help for picking up large auction lots. Loading assistance is NOT available. Some items may be located on a 2nd floor or basement.
4. Invoices for winning auction lots are emailed to winning Bidders once the sale has completely closed. Payment is due immediately upon receipt of invoice and full payment must be made by 2:00 PM on day following the end of the auction. You will be directed to PayPal to pay after you click to check out. If we do not hear from you by the full payment deadline, we reserve the right to resell your lot(s) to the next highest bidder. Failure to pay for your purchase will result in suspension from the CTBids system. Reinstatement after suspension requires payment of the original invoice amount plus a $25 fee.
5. All auction lots must be fully paid for before they are picked up or shipped. Items to be shipped cannot be removed from the property without payment. Therefore, if payment for the auction lot(s) is not received before the full payment deadline, the items will be forfeited and bidding privileges may be revoked. Additionally, if payment for the shipping and handling invoice is not received after 3 days of receiving the separate invoice, the auction lot(s) will be forfeited and bidding privileges may be revoked. Disposal of auction lot(s) is performed at the discretion of Caring Transitions and no refund will be made.
6. The exact address of the scheduled pickup will be on the Caring Transitions lots invoice emailed after the auction closes.
7. A 15% Buyer's Premium will be added to the final bid amount when invoiced.
8. We have made every effort to describe auction lots as accurately as possible. Expect normal signs of wear associated with antiques, vintage, and used items. We do not list every flaw. All auction lots are sold AS IS, and WHERE IS. No refunds or returns. Caring Transitions does not guarantee the working order of any clock, watch, electronic, or mechanical device. Dimensions given may be approximate.
9. Listings times have a soft close. Extra time may be added to ending times to allow bidders more time to win. This will give you time to receive an outbid notification and place a higher bid and mimics what happens in a live auction where the auctioneer asks for any last bids before making the sale.
