This is to cover all common questions we have from our in person and online buyers. If we don’t cover your question here please contact us.
- Is the final price on the auction the full price I’ll pay?
There is a 5% Premium added to the final price and if you are having it shipped you will be given your shipping quotes to choose between. - Can I pick up my wins or must they be shipped?
Local or not, if you wish to pick up your item(s) you are more than welcome to do so. Pick up times and location are posted on each individual auction. - Can I contact you and offer to buy something in auction instead of bid?
No. Our auctions are open to anyone interested in bidding within the continental U,S.A. and we do not accept back door buys. Certain items may occasionally have a BUY IT NOW option, but those are not part of a general auction. - Can I come in for a viewing before bidding?
We will provide with several pictures of each item, but yes for most of our auctions, if you wish, you will have a time frame to schedule a viewing of any item with a start bid over $25. - Why do some items have no start bid and others start at $100 or more?
Start bids are generally set by the seller we represent or a cost basis. On larger lots sold, start bids are often lower than on single or small groups we are commissioned to auction off. - Do I have to register to bid?
If bidding online,yes. Because all payments are made via Paypal or similar online processor, you must register to bid and pay. If bidding in person, you do not have to register to our website, but you do sign in to receive a bidding number at the auction and turn in your bidding paddle number before leaving. - How much is shipping costs. Is there a handling fee?
There is no separate handling fee for preparing and shipping your products. We offer USPS and UPS as options for shipping. Costs vary and usually range from $3 for small things like coins to $100 or more for very large or heavy items or groups. We do not offer shipping on anything that would require forklift or requires freight shipping. Most shipping seems to average between $10 and $35 though. We document and show all costs associated with your shipping.
