IMPORTANT: Inspection and removal times are firm. DO NOT bid on this auction if you are unable to honor the scheduled removal/ pick up time(s) and day. At the close of the removal/ pick up day, all unpaid invoices will be processed as NO SHOWS and all remaining lots will be considered abandoned and disposed of at the affiliates discretion.

Do not bid unless you intend to pay. Payment must be received by the end of the pick-up date/time. For example, if the last pick-up time is 2 pm, you must pay before 2 pm. Non-paying bidders will be marked as a No Show. No refunds will be given for abandoned lots. You have 2 calendar days after the scheduled pick-up date to remove your items. We reserve the right to dispose of the lots if you do not pick up your items after the 2 days have elapsed.
