Terms of Sale
By submitting your bid, you agree that:
You have read and agree with the Auctioneer Terms and Conditions & Privacy Policy below and the Invaluable Terms of Use Agreement
You agree to pay a buyer's premium of up to 18% and any applicable taxes and shipping. Special attention should be given to our policy with respect to non paying bidders as we do aggressively enforce the auction contract that you enter in to by using this platform. Item #6
1. The decision of the auctioneer is final in all manners of bidding procedures, increments, and declared winning bidders.
2. Winning bidders invoices will be sent from the auction with NO shipping charges. Please pay promptly the way you prefer. See our paragraph "Ways to Pay". PayPal is our preferred payment method with the Invaluable/AuctionZip automated invoice. Credit Card payments when buyer is new and unknown by the auction company require address verification and can have up to 5 days handling time involved. After full payment your item is forwarded to Venice Pack and Ship where they will combine items on a per customer basis to maximize shipping value . Venice Pack and Ship will invoice you directly for shipping charges. They provide outstanding service at reasonable price. If you are local pick up please let us know when paying your invoice and your item will be held here at the auction center. All items to be removed within 7 Days.
3. All items sold AS IS. ALL SALES FINAL. We do not accept returns.
4. Buyers authorize that their bidder credit cards on file may be charged 7 days after an invoice has been sent without further notice. Please be responsible with your auction invoice and pay for your item(s) so that invoices do not get escalated to collections. We want everyone to have a pleasant experience, both buyers and sellers. When items remain unpaid it causes a lot of bookkeeping, shipping, and storage organization problems.
5. Shipping to confirmed address only. Shipping address MUST match credit card address or verified address with PayPal, or Square (see "Ways to Pay"). We regret this causes some customer inconvenience and ask for your understanding. With past experience we have learned high value and easily liquid items such as gold, silver, coins, and jewelry have the potential to attract an unwelcome and unethical individual bidder. Sales of these type of items have to be reviewed carefully. To our loyal and honest bidders we thank you and once again ask for your understanding with respect to bidding and shipping security.
6. When an item remains unpaid by a winning bidder that is not communicative, the auction company after due notice will resell those items charging our standard resell commission rate of 100% (one Hundred Percent). We apply the net "zero dollar" proceeds from the resell to your original bill and move forward with collections and legal actions. Example: A bidder buys an item for $100 and does not pay and does not communicate with us a valid reason for not paying causing us to resell the item for $100. We charge our standard resell commission rate of 100% netting $0 from the second sale. $0 is applied to the outstanding auction invoice and the balance of the invoice of $100 is placed in to collections and/or legal action. We also press to collect the maximum penalty as allowed by law including, but not limited to interest, attorney fees, and punitive damages. Fraud is reported to the FBI IC3 and other applicable law enforcement officials with all available information including, but not limited to name, address, online identity, credit card information, phone records, emails, and IP address. When bidders on the live auction floor and honest online bidders are outbid from non communicative and non paying bidders , or bidders that attempt to defraud the auction company we consider this a very serious breach and we are willing to devote tremendous resource to remedy. Honest bidders are entitled to purchase items at the highest bid price that has been achieved from other "good faith" bids. The online auction process is not a game to be played and your bids are not optional once we declare an item sold. The auction industry is unusual in that an oral contract between auctioneer and buyer is 100% enforceable. Please understand, we often liquidate items that individuals have collected for their entire lifetime, we may be dealing with grieving families, we may be executing auctions that are court ordered, or other creditor enforced liquidations, and yet other serious matters that require our professional services. Unpaid and attempted fraud bidder transactions are not an issue we want to have to explain to somebody's widow, or grieving children of deceased parents. We maintain a very open registration and bidding policy as we treat people how we want to be treated. Do not misinterpret our open open policy as an easy target. Please bid responsibly.
7. To our honest and loyal bidders we keep our terms simple and our buyers happy. If you experience an unexpected problem or make a mistake please call us at 941-882-3719. We appreciate your business!
