General Terms of the Auction: Information is subject to change. All lots are sold as is, where is, with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. Due diligence is the responsibility of the bidder/buyer. All sales are final. No credit card charge backs will be allowed. Purchases may be removed upon receipt of payment in full. Buyers assume complete responsibility for care of each purchase at time of sale. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. All statements made prior to the sale of any item take precedence over written material and any prior verbal statements. The auction company is not responsible for accidents, thefts, errors or omissions.

1. Catalog: Beckort Auctions, LLC has put forth every effort in preparing the catalog for this auction to provide accurate descriptions of all items. All property is sold 'as-is' and it is the bidderÂ’s responsibility to determine the exact condition of each item. Printed statements or descriptions by staff are provided in good faith and are matters of opinion. Bidders are encouraged to attend the scheduled inspection.

2. BuyerÂ’s Premium: There is a 10% buyerÂ’s premium added to your total bids to determine the final contract price. Sales tax will be collected on the final contract price, if applicable. Please factor this into your bidding!

3. Payments: Buyers must register online with a valid credit or debit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express. A pre-auction authorization will be performed to establish available credit. Debit cards may show a hold on funds for a short period of time. NOTHING will be charged to your card until a purchase is made.
If you are a successful bidder, you will receive an email detailing the date(s) and location where you may pick up your items. At that time you may choose to pay for your purchase using the credit/debit card we have on file or pay by cash or check. A 3% buyerÂ’s premium is applied to all credit/debit purchases. There is no additional buyerÂ’s premium if purchase is made with cash or check. After the pick-up date if not contacted by the buyer, credit/debit card will be charged. Your credit card will be charged for your purchases, plus buyerÂ’s premiums, any taxes and premium for charge to card. Each transaction necessary to collect insufficient funds will have a $25 fee imposed

4. Pickups: All pickups are scheduled in advance. Please see the pickup time and location in the auction listing on the website. ItÂ’s the BuyerÂ’s responsibility to be certain all items are included before removing boxes from the premises. Items not picked up on the designated date(s) can incur both a moving and/or storage fee. If successful bidder does not attend the scheduled pick-up date and has not previously notified an auction representative of his absence, the credit/debit card used to register will be charged with the additional 3% buyerÂ’s premium. See auction details for specific auction information. ItÂ’s your responsibility to review your purchases and their condition.

5. Shipping: The auction company, through the local United Parcel Service store, can arrange packing and shipping. Packing and shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer and will be quoted before shipping. It is the buyerÂ’s decision to insure purchased items.
