*Pickup appointments are necessary to limit the number of people at the pickup site. State law requires that you wear a face mask at the merchandise pickup site any time you cannot properly social distance from others.
(Successful bidders will be emailed a receipt with a link to make an appointment for pickup on one of two days.

-[We ask those who are sick (experiencing fever, headache, cough), have recently been sick, or have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus to either send someone else to pick items up, or refrain from bidding in this auction out of courtesy to others who may not be able to withstand the virus.]
LOCATION:
To be disclosed to the successful bidders when an appointment is made for pick up. (Bennington, NY area). Bidders who make an appointment will be shown the pick up location in the appointment confirmation and by email.
ARRIVE AT YOUR SCHEDULED TIME:
Merchandise is organized by appointment time. When customers arrive at a significantly different time than they were scheduled, they will wait longer for their merchandise and create delays for other customers.
CONSOLIDATING PICK UP FOR 2 OR MORE AUCTIONS:
Our terms have always stated that there is a charge when auction items are not picked up on the designated pick up date. We've tried to be accommodating, rarely actually charging customers even when we've had to move items from other locations back to our center. After much discussion, we've decided that going forward, we will be charging for consolidating merchandise for more than one auction to one pick up location. It takes a great deal of time, labor, and effort to organize pick ups for auctions. Bringing items in from other auctions seems simple enough, but it greatly increases time, labor, need for storage, and likelihood for damage. Charges will range from $10 - $25 depending on whether the item must be moved from a different location (many of our online auctions items are not at our auction center), size, fragility, and length of storage time.
