All items are sold “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” Company’s descriptions of item, if any, are matters of opinion and commendation of each item.

Bidder shall pay for all items for which Bidder was the accepted high bid before pick-up of the items. If Bidder takes an item, but Company has not yet received payment for it, Company will charge Bidder for the item on Bidder’s credit card with a 4% fee. Regardless of item pick-up, Bidder must make full settlement of bid-upon items no later than three (3) business days after the Auction.
