By agreeing to these terms, bidders agree to hold harmless Wildfire Auctions and all bidding platform providers for technical errors and mistakes that may arise from connectivity issues on the part of the auction company or bidder. Errors may occur.

The credit card on file with your HiBid account will be charged automatically following the conclusion of the auction for eligible purchases.

If your card is declined or cannot be processed, you will be contacted within 24 hours to arrange alternate payment. You will have 12 hours from the time Wildfire Auctions attempts to contact you to resolve the payment issue.

All purchases must be paid in full within 24 hours of the auction ending unless otherwise stated.

Wildfire Auctions reserves the right to permanently revoke bidding privileges for buyers who initiate improper or fraudulent chargebacks and to pursue available legal remedies.

Buyers initiating chargebacks may be subject to fees of up to 1000 dollars where permitted by applicable law.

PICKUP AND HANDLING

All purchases must be picked up during the scheduled pickup date and time listed for each auction unless prior arrangements have been approved by Wildfire Auctions.

Items not picked up within 24 hours after the designated pickup deadline may be considered abandoned and revert to the ownership of Wildfire Auctions. Such items may be resold, donated, or otherwise disposed of without refund to the buyer.

If additional pickup arrangements require Wildfire Auctions staff or a seller to return to a location outside the scheduled pickup period, an additional fee of 75 dollars plus 25 dollars per hour will apply.

SHIPPING, PICKUP & ABANDONED ITEMS POLICY

Wildfire Auctions offers in-house shipping on select items. Shipping availability is not guaranteed for all purchases.

Buyer Responsibility: It is the sole responsibility of the winning bidder to contact Wildfire Auctions, complete payment, and make all necessary arrangements for pickup or shipping. Winning an item does not automatically initiate shipping arrangements.

Scheduled Pickup: Each auction clearly lists a designated pickup date and time. It is the sole responsibility of the winning bidder to pick up all purchased items during the advertised pickup window. Buyers are expected to review and understand the pickup requirements prior to placing any bids.

Wildfire Auctions cannot guarantee additional pickup dates or times outside the scheduled pickup window. Any requests for alternative arrangements must be made directly with Wildfire Auctions and are subject to availability and approval. Winning an item does not entitle the buyer to an extended or alternative pickup schedule. Failure to pick up purchases during the designated pickup window may result in the items being considered abandoned and forfeited without refund.

Shipping Estimates: Buyers are strongly encouraged to contact Wildfire Auctions prior to placing a bid to confirm shipping availability and request an estimated shipping cost. While we are happy to provide estimates, all quotes are approximate. Final shipping charges cannot be determined until the purchased items have been properly packaged, measured, and weighed. Shipping charges may vary based on package dimensions, weight, destination, insurance, and packaging requirements.

Shipping Payment Deadlines: All shipping charges must be paid within 5 calendar days of the auction closing date AND within 24 hours of receiving a shipping invoice. Both deadlines apply. Failure to make payment within the required timeframe may result in forfeiture of the purchased items.

Unclaimed or Abandoned Purchases: Any items that have not been picked up during the advertised pickup window, or for which shipping arrangements and required payments have not been completed within the applicable deadlines, may be considered abandoned. Wildfire Auctions reserves the right to donate, resell, dispose of, or otherwise relinquish possession of these items without refund, credit, or compensation to the buyer.

Refusal to Pay Shipping: Shipping charges are the responsibility of the buyer. Refusal to pay shipping charges, dissatisfaction with shipping costs, or failure to make shipping arrangements does not constitute grounds for cancellation, refund, or reversal of a winning bid. All winning bids are final and binding.

By placing a bid, buyers acknowledge and accept responsibility for all applicable purchase, pickup, and shipping obligations.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to review auction details, communicate with Wildfire Auctions, and make timely pickup or shipping arrangements to avoid forfeiture of purchased items.
