What you can do to expedite your order:
1. Check your contact information. Can we reach you quickly with your phone number? Do you regularly check your email? Make sure that our emails are not going to your "Spam" file.
2. Is the mailing address in your system your current address? It's expensive to redirect your package once in transit.
3. Is a street address in your profile or a PO Box? UPS will not ship to post office boxes.
4. Finally, contact us promptly with payment information.
Pick up:
Buyer agrees to pick up the winning items at a scheduled time/date. If buyer fails to pick up items at specified time/date, buyer will forfeit said items.

There will be a 3% fee added to Credit Card and Paypal payments.
We reserve the right to require bank checks for large purchases.
We reserve the right not to issue a buyer's number or to withhold merchandise if appropriate credit has not been established.
Personal property may not be removed until paid for in full along with applicable sales and/or transfer taxes and any other fees due.

Taxes
The Buyer must pay State Sales Tax (6%) on the total purchase price (aggregate of hammer price & Buyer's premium) unless a Sales Tax Exemption form is filled out with our office. Items that are shipped are not usually subject to sales tax.

Shipping
We offer proffessional shipping in-house and are more than happy to work with you.
Our process goes like this:
1. You will get an invoice email the day after the sale ends. If you live out of our area, we will assume that you need shipping.
2.We professionally package your order and calculate shipping. We make every effort to combine multiple items into one box.
2. We send you an invoice with the total due. Once you pay the invoice, we purchase the shipping label and get your items on the way to you. USPS is used most of the time, sometimes UPS, especially for the larger items.
Shipping costs are calculated by:
- Cost charged by shipper (UPS, USPS, etc).
- $5 per box, for most boxes.
- Unusual items or unusually sized items may not be shippable with us.
We will be happy to work with you if you use a third-party shipper.
