*Must have valid driver's license when paying by charge cards or checks.
*Checks are to be pre-approved by auctioneer prior to the auction (at least 2 business days before the auction, NOT the day of the auction). A letter of reference from your bank is recommended to those who have never done business with us before. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by checks that have not been pre-approved until we can see that the check has cleared the bank. It is our policy to hold merchandise on all first time buyers, due to our bank's recommendation of 10 days, until the check has cleared the bank. (This enables the check to clear the bank and if it does not, then it gives them the time to notify us via mail).
*There will be a $25 fee charged for all returned checks.
*Third party checks are not accepted.
Note: Delay in payment means delay in shipment to you. Delay in shipment to you could mean you lose all possibility of a return, so please make a prompt payment. The speediest forms of payments are credit cards or bank checks. Personal or Business checks from first time buyers will hold the shipment up for 10 business days until the checks have cleared the bank. This could jeopardize the warranties of the descriptions if the shipment exceeds 18 business days.
