Buyers arriving outside designated pickup periods or without required appointments may be refused entry or required to wait until Auctioneer determines that removal resources are available.

Certain lots may remain in active use by Auctioneer, Seller, or their representatives during the auction, checkout, and removal process. Such lots may not be available for immediate pickup following auction close and may remain unavailable until the conclusion of the designated pickup period or such later date as determined by Auctioneer. Winning bidders for affected lots will be notified when the lot is available for removal, which may occur after the conclusion of the standard pickup period. By bidding on such lots, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that delayed availability shall not constitute grounds for cancellation, refund, chargeback, price adjustment, storage claim, loss of use claim, or any other damages against Auctioneer or Seller.

Buyer shall be solely responsible for all inspection, loading, removal, transportation, and handling activities relating to purchased lots and shall bear all associated costs, responsibilities, and risks, including labor, equipment, forklifts, pallet jacks, rigging, transportation, packaging, shipping, loading, permits, and third-party contractors.

Any loading assistance provided by Auctioneer, Seller, their employees, contractors, agents, or representatives is provided solely as a courtesy. Buyer remains fully responsible for load securement, weight distribution, transportation compliance, and the safety of all loaded materials. Neither Auctioneer nor Seller shall be responsible for damage occurring during loading or transportation, regardless of who performs or assists with loading.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL TAKE DOWN, PICK UP, PACKAGING, SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS, AND RELATED COSTS. ALL ITEMS MUST BE REMOVED BY THE SPECIFIED PICKUP DEADLINES.

8. Time Requirements, Default, & Abandonment: Time is of the essence with respect to all payment and removal obligations. Failure to make full payment, schedule pickup when required, or remove any lot within the specified removal period shall constitute material default.

Any merchandise, pallets, packaging materials, containers, debris, or other contents remaining after expiration of the designated pickup period may, at Auctioneer's sole discretion and without further notice, be deemed abandoned by Buyer. Upon abandonment, Buyer shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in such property.

Welcome To One Of The Largest Abandoned Property Auctions Ever Conducted! Over $100 million in original manufacturer MSRP. More than 2.5 million inventoried units. Over 700 SKUs. Three days of bidding. One extraordinary event. Originating from a single 100,000+ square foot facility, this unprecedented disposition represents a volume of merchandise rarely encountered in the public marketplace. Months of inventory work were required simply to document the scope of the assets being offered. The final count exceeds 2.5 million units across more than 700 product lines, with a combined original manufacturer MSRP exceeding $100 million. The magnitude becomes apparent only when seen firsthand - aisle after aisle of palletized goods, thousands of lots, and a product mix spanning hundreds of distinct SKUs with an average depth of more than 3,500 units per product line. Over three days, participants will have the opportunity to acquire assets ranging from individual pallet lots to large wholesale quantities suitable for resale, export, liquidation, retail distribution, and institutional purchasing. The catalog has been structured to accommodate both independent entrepreneurs and high-volume operations. In addition to millions of units of consumer merchandise and electronics accessories, the sale includes warehouse operations equipment, logistics and material handling assets, 3D printers and prototyping equipment, testing equipment, office furnishings, and more than 50 pallets of shipping and packing supplies including boxes, mailers, and related materials. This event offers access to far more than inventory alone. The breadth of the catalog extends beyond merchandise into equipment, supplies, and specialized business assets seldom offered together in a single public sale. Whether your interest lies in sourcing products for resale, expanding an existing business, acquiring operational equipment, or securing bulk wholesale quantities, few public sales provide this combination of volume, diversity, and purchasing potential within a single event. Day 3 - Equipment, Supplies & Mixed Pallets The final day of this auction offers some of the most unique opportunities of the entire event. In addition to mixed merchandise pallets, buyers will gain access to warehouse equipment, logistics and material handling assets, 3D printers and prototyping equipment, testing systems, office furnishings, and more than 50 pallets of shipping and packing supplies. For many buyers, Day 3 represents an opportunity to acquire the tools, equipment, and supporting assets that help businesses operate, fulfill, test, and distribute products at scale.
