ALL SALES ARE FINAL. The Purchaser acknowledges that all items are sold “as is" and absolutely NO refunds will be given for any reason.
DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PICK UP YOUR ITEMS. All items purchased must be picked-up during the scheduled pick-up times and location. Absolutely NO refunds or chargebacks will be granted due to failure to pick-up purchased items at the designated times and location. Purchased items in which the Purchaser fails to pick-up will be considered abandoned by Purchaser and the further disposition of such purchased items will be at the sole discretion of Placer Auctions
All winning bids will include an additional buyer's premium of 13% of the winning bid amount.
ITEM INACCURACIES
From time to time, an incorrect picture may be associated with an item listed for auction. Alternatively, an item may be listed incorrectly. If any inaccuracies are found, please bring them to the attention of the Placer Auctions staff, or by emailing us at info@placerauctions.com. Please provide the auction and item number, along with a description of the inaccuracy. Placer Auctions will do its best to update the item before the close of the auction.
REGISTRATION AND PLACING A BID
Each prospective bidder must first register as a Placer Auctions user to place a bid on an item. By placing a bid, bidder agrees to these Terms and Conditions. Before placing bids, please review all auction details before submission, as Placer Auctions will not edit or delete bids after they have been submitted.
AUCTION ENDING AND EXTENSIONS
Placer Auctions utilizes a staggered auction closing on all items listed. This means that each item will close 120 seconds before the next item. An item’s closing time may be extended if a bid is placed within 30 seconds from the time of its closing. The length of the extension will be between 15-120 seconds from the point at which the bid was made. Each time a bid is placed within this “extension period," all unsold auction lots will automatically extend an additional 15-30 seconds. This is designed and utilized to prevent what is commonly known as "sniping," which is the act of attempting to "steal" an item within the closing seconds of an auction.
PAYMENTS
All winning bids will include a 13% buyer's premium. After each auction has ended, the Purchaser's card on file will be immediately charged. An invoice will also be sent via email. Accepted forms of payment include Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.
INVOICES
Invoices are generated after the auction ends. If the Purchaser does not receive an invoice via email, please email info@placerauctions.com, and another invoice will be sent. Invoices should be marked paid provided the card you have on file goes through.
ITEM PICKUP
All winning bidders must pick up their items during the scheduled "Pick-up Hours." At that time, the winning bidder must present an invoice, either printed or electronically, that shows the items have been paid in full. A valid driver’s license is also required. If unable to make the scheduled pickup day/time, it is the bidder's responsibility to send someone on their behalf with a valid driver's license and invoice showing a paid in full status. Any items that are not picked up at the scheduled time, will be considered abandoned, and are subject to relisting without refund at the discretion of Placer Auctions.
SHIPPING
Placer Auctions does not handle shipping. We have partnered with AIM Mail Center to offer shipping to our customers. Upon request from the buyer, we will turn over your items and contact information to our shipping partner. They will then contact you and coordinate the packing & shipment of your items. We do not pack, label, insure, or track any items, and will not take responsibility for any loss, damage, or theft once items leave our facility. The shipping contract is between you (the buyer) and the shipping provider.
LOSS OF BIDDING PRIVILEGES
If a bidder’s credit card on file is declined, or a bidder does not show up to pick up, bidding privileges may be revoked. In addition, Placer auctions reserves the right to revoke bidding privileges at any time, if bidder is found to be in violation of these Terms and Condition. Bidding privileges may be restored at the discretion of Placer Auctions
TAX EXEMPT STATUS
Any bidder that claims tax exempt status, must provide the appropriate documentation PRIOR to placing your first bid, during the registration process. A copy of the current state’s tax-exempt form must be provided BEFORE placing any bids. Failure to do so will result in the bidder being charged sales tax on any items won, prior to Placer Auctions receiving the required documentation.
LIABILITY and ARBITRATION
Placer Auctions assumes no responsibility for the damage, inaccuracy, or abandonment of any items listed and won. Any issues or controversy that arises from, and/or relating to these Terms and Conditions, shall be settled via arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgements rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
