Auction terms and conditions
At the end of an auction, each item has an automatic extension. This means if a bid is placed in the final 10 minutes, an extension of 5 minutes will be added to the end of the auction time for that item. There will be a maximum of 6 extensions for each item (30 minutes). Age restrictions apply on any item that includes liquor or wine. A valid ID will be necessary to purchase items with age restrictions. All sales are final, there are no exchanges or refunds, and all items are sold “as is." Winning bid payments must be made within 24 hours of the auction end, or the item will be removed from the auction. Winning bidders will be required to pick-up their item(s) in New Smyrna Beach. An email will be sent to winning bidders with the address of the pick-up location and dates and times for pick up. If a winning bidder would like their item shipped, they will need to contact the auction administrator after they have paid for their item. Shipping costs will be calculated and are the responsibility of the winning bidder. All items are depicted as accurately as possible. However, actual colors may vary slightly from those in the photographs on this website.
