Frequently Asked questions


how it works

Each auction commences with an informative listing and a gallery of photos. We highly recommend that all potential bidders carefully read and assess the complete listing description before placing a bid. It is essential for bidders to perform their due diligence to fully understand all the details of the item. This is an Autopay auction. To place a bid, you must authorize by placing an order. If you win the auction, the winning amount will be automatically deducted from the authorized funds. If a win does not occur, the order amount will be refunded. If the reserve price is reached by the end of the listing (or if it's a no-reserve auction), the winning bidder must submit proof of funds within 24 hours, and the order will be processed once the funds are confirmed. If your bid exceeds the authorized limit, please submit a new order to adjust the authorization amount so your bid can be considered. If the auction reserve isn't reached by the listing's end, we will attempt to work out a deal with the highest bidder. If that doesn't work out, we may continue or restart the auction. Bid offers are final and cannot be canceled. If you win the auction and fail to complete the transaction, our restocking fee will be applied, and your account will be forfeited as if you did not complete a finished auction.

Ways To Bid

We accept online bid payments with credit/debit cards. This is an Autopay auction, so to place a bid, you need to authorize by placing an order. If you win, the winning amount will be automatically deducted, and if a win does not occur, the order amount will be refunded. If your bid exceeds the authorized limit, please submit a new order to adjust the authorization amount so your bid can be considered. If you would like us to place a non-refundable bid for you using cash/wire transfer/or another payment method not listed, please contact us.

shipping

Winning bids will have shipping arranged (you'll be provided a shipping price and be required to pay prior to the item being shipped), unless otherwise requested. Pick-up is available only at our New York City location.
