Online Auctions:
Terms:
These terms and conditions are a legally binding contract between you (the Bidder/Buyer) and Vintage Estate Company. If you register and bid in this auction, you agree to these terms and are bound by them.
If you have questions regarding a specific lot or item that affects your final bid, please email us at jessicamodeer@gmail.com, or call or text (719) 648-2425.
Item Descriptions:
Please remember that we have provided all of the information we have in the description. We generally do not test items being offered. All items must be considered used or previously owned. We are working with an Estate, and the history of an item is usually unknown to us. We strive to represent the items to the best of our ability. It is the Bidder's responsibility to determine the acceptability of condition, age, genuineness, value, or any other determinative factor of all items. We do not guarantee any appraisals, gradings, or certifications. If you have any questions about the merchandise, please ask before bidding. Bidders shall be the sole judges of value. Items used in photographs for display are not part of the selling lot unless specifically listed in the description. If after reading the description and viewing photos, you still have questions, feel free to contact us.

Bid Carefully:
All items are sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty. All sales are final. When the bidding ends on our website and you are the winning bidder, you then assume complete responsibility to fulfill the obligations of these terms and agreements. Once you place and confirm a bid through our bidding platform, you cannot remove or lower the bid.
Payment:
Within two hours of the close of the entire auction, your credit card on file will be charged for the entire amount due (hammer price + sales tax + buyer’s premium). The charges are not processed until the entire auction closes. By participating in this auction, buyers expressly agree that they will not “chargeback” or “deny” a credit card purchase. You will also receive a winning bidder email, which will list your invoice (what item(s) you won, the hammer price, sales tax, and buyer's premium) and all necessary pick-up instructions. The only method of payment accepted is credit card via auto-debit at the close of the auction. This makes it easy to simply show up at the designated location and pick up your items.

Buyers Premium:
All Property offered at the auction is subject to a Buyer’s Premium in an amount equal to 12% of the Hammer Price, which will be paid by the buyer to the auctioneer for the auctioneer's own account. The Buyer’s Premium is earned by the auctioneer with the fall of the hammer and is non-refundable.

PICK-UP:
Full address and time(s) for pick-up will be provided on our winning bidders' invoices. Please ONLY bid if you can manage pick-up or have made other arrangements with us. If you do not pick up your items during the public pick-up date and time, or your personally scheduled appointment time, your items will be considered abandoned, and you will forfeit your entire purchase without a refund. Unless otherwise agreed, you are responsible for the disassembly, removal, and transportation of each that you purchase. Disassembly and removal must be done in a professional manner. You must repair (to the satisfaction of the seller) or pay for damage to land or buildings, and/or other property caused by you or by your helpers.

Tax Exemptions:
Auction Ninja is a platform that hosts our auctions. Changing/adding your reseller tax ID certificate is easy on AuctionNinja. You may update your information at any time by logging onto AuctionNinja.com. Click on MY DASHBOARD. Then click on ACCOUNT. Click on PREFERENCES. Check the box next to TAX INFORMATION. Enter your TAX ID # and be sure to upload a copy of the certificate. We cannot refund sales tax.

SHIPPING:
If you require shipping, please email jessicamodeer@gmail.com. Shipping is available at the buyer's expense. We do not provide estimates for shipping as shipping costs are determined once an item has been packed, measured, and weighed. Distance is also a factor. We use USPS and UPS. You may be required to set up your own shipping through a carrier, such as a freight company, for large items. You will receive a separate invoice with shipping costs. Expect up to 14 business days from the date of the auction pick-up before you receive your shipping invoice. If your shipping invoice is not paid 10 business days from the due date, your item will become abandoned and resold. If you wish to have additional insurance placed on an item, please notify us. Your shipping invoice will be sent separately to the email you have on file.
