*Shipping is available; please review the important shipping notes below!
Once your items are invoiced, you will receive a follow-up email from our partner company, Shipping Saint, allowing you to schedule a pickup time or have them shipped.

PACKING and SHIPPING: Our fast and efficient professional shipping department handles the shipping of most items in-house. All shipments require insurance. We do not ship items without insurance coverage for the final invoiced sales price of the item(s), including the Buyer's Premium. We do not accept 3rd party shipping labels. Our shipping department charges $45/hour for packing labor, plus the cost of shipping supplies (new boxes, bubble wrap, paper, and packing peanuts) and the retail shipping cost.
We are unable to provide shipping estimates. Once we pack items for shipment, they will not be released until payment is made in full for all packing and shipping charges and fees, as our insurance provider requires. We do not refund buyers because the shipping cost is too high. If items need to be moved back to our facility from an on-site location, there will be a $5.00 per lot handling fee.

ALL OF OUR ONLINE AUCTIONS FEATURE BOTH A MAX BID OPTION AS WELL AS A SOFT CLOSE.

"STAGGERED ENDING" Lots will begin closing at the designated time at a rate of 10 lots every 3 minutes. Please watch the countdown timer on each lot.

You may place a “MAX BID” on any item, and the computer will bid on your behalf, eliminating the need to “babysit” your bids. This option is highly recommended so you do not miss out on the item you are bidding on for any reason.

The “SOFT CLOSE” feature means any bid received in the auction's final minutes will auto-extended bidding on that particular item or lot by 3 minutes, thus allowing a backup bidder to raise their bid. If you do not use the MAX BID feature and are outbid, you will be notified via e-mail or text and will have the opportunity to raise your bid.

Sales Tax: Ohio Sales Tax of 7.25% shall be charged
