Current Auctions

Your bid is a commitment to purchase the item if you are the winning bidder.

You must be registered on our site to bid! You cannot bid as a guest. If you have not registered on our site, the first thing is to go to My Account and register.

All our auctions run for three days Sunday through Tuesday each starting at 12:01 am central time Sunday and begin ending starting at 7 pm Central time Tuesday.

You must be logged in to bid on our monthly auctions.

AUCTION PRICES:
There is no buyer’s fee on our auctions.

In some cases, there may be a reserve placed on the item. If so the auction will indicate when the reserve has been met.

HOW THE AUCTION WORKS:
Bidding increments will be at $5, $10 $50 or $100 depending on the value of the item.

The auction functions like the others you are familiar with (eBay etc.). You can submit a maximum bid and the site will bid up to that bid for you, bidding only one increment above what is necessary to secure the high bid, up to your maximum. Putting it simply, your bids will be executed at the lowest prices allowed by reserves and other bids. If two people bid the same maximum amount, the person that bid first will win the auction.

AUCTION EXTENSIONS (ANTI-SNIPING PROTECTION):
To keep bidding fair for everyone, if a bid is placed within the last 2 minutes of an auction’s scheduled closing time, the auction automatically extends by 2 minutes. This can happen more than once — as long as bids keep coming in within the last 2 minutes of the current closing time, the auction keeps extending. The auction only closes for good once a full 2 minutes passes with no new bids. This means an active bidding war in the closing minutes can push the true auction end time by several minutes.

IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION:
Congratulations! If you are the winning bidder, you will receive an email indicating you have won the auction. You must acknowledge receipt of that email by clicking on the link provided.

From there, the checkout process works just like the regular site. Your item(s) will be packed and shipping cost calculated. You will then receive a PayPal invoice from us with shipping included.

Shipping costs are our actual cost with nothing added! Please note, WE WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ON HYPOTHETICAL SHIPPING COSTS FOR AUCTION ITEMS! We ship the least expensive way possible on all orders and ship either USPS or UPS for all our shipments. We only charge actual cost so be confident that you are only paying what we pay with no handling charges or upcharges of any kind for shipping.

AUCTION SCHEDULE AND REMINDERS:
We will run auctions bi-monthly. Members of my newsletter will receive notification one week out from our auction dates. You will receive a second notification two days before the auction and a third when the auction begins. A final will come 5 hours before auction ending. Auctions will end at staggered times, giving all the opportunity to bid on all items. All auction times are Central (Chicago) time.

AUCTIONS ARE FINAL:
Auction sales are final unless the item is misrepresented in some fashion which is never our intent. We describe truthfully and include photos of the actual item being auctioned.

PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.

Note: In case of technical issues interfering with the auction’s normal progress we reserve the right to cancel all bids and restart the auction at a later date.
