TERMS:

BIDDING

PLEASE NOTE: All of these items are used Amazon returns and may be used or damaged beyond what we're able to catalog. You're welcome to come to our facility during normal business hours before the auction closes to personally inspect whatever items you may be interested in.

Bidding is in a staggered/soft close format. Items will close in 10 second increments, and if an item receives a bid close to its closing, the time will be extended to allow others to bid until the item stops receiving bids.

By bidding on an item, the bidder is entering into a legally binding contract.

Invoices will be sent out the morning after the auction closes, and will come via email from United Country Burke Auction and Realty.

PICKUP

Buyers are responsible for bringing help and/or tools to pickup. We will not always have enough people available to help.

After invoices are sent out, please allow 24 hours for a second email to be sent from Shipping  Saint. This email will allow you to choose whether you'd like to pick up your items, or have them  shipped. It will also allow you to select a pickup time. 

If you miss the pickup date and off-site items need to be brought back to our auction house as a result, you WILL be charged $30. We will contact you to make arrangements.

PLEASE READ PICKUP DATE AND TIME BEFORE BIDDING. All items must be picked up within 14 days of auction close. Items left after 14 days will be subject to resale at our discretion.

When you request shipping, we will charge your card and your information will be given to our  shipping department. When your order is being packed, you will receive an email from Shipping Saint. Once your order is packed, you will receive another email from Shipping Saint with an invoice that will need to be paid in order for us to ship your item. When that invoice is paid, your item will be sent to you via either UPS or USPS. Please allow 14 days after the auction closes for shipping updates. 

We do not allow for prepaid shipping labels to be sent to us to ship your item. Shipping costs  include our labor and materials in addition to size and weight.
