Maximum allowable charge on credit cards is $2,000 unless pre-approved. Credit cards are not accepted for titled vehicles. Sales tax applies unless Gavin Bros is provided with a sales tax exemption form (buyer’s premium is taxable). If buyer does not contact Gavin Bros within 24 hours of the auction the credit card on file will be charged.
If a buyer fails to pay in full for an item the buyer will be black listed and not allowed to participate in any Gavin Bros. auction and reported to other HiBid auction companies as a non-paying bidder.
For onsite auctions (not located at the Gavin Auction Facility) all items must be picked up at the designated pickup times, no exceptions unless prior arrangements are made. If they are not picked up at the designated pickup times the items are considered abandoned and become the property of the Auction Company or seller. The buyer is still responsible for full payment, no refunds will be given.
Shipping is not available for all auctions. If not specified that shipping is available check with the auction house prior to bidding. Typical charges for shipping are $10 for the first lot and $2 for each additional lot. Large orders may be subject to a $10 per box fee. All shipping and insurance expense are to be paid for by the buyer. If you bid on and win an item and shipping is not offered you are still responsible for paying for the item. Certain items never eligible for shipping are animal mounts, any items that have ever had gas or fuel in them such as lanterns, chainsaws, small engines, etc, large or bulky items, items over 40 lbs., gun powder, or very fragile items. Items must be picked up within the scheduled pickup time. Any items that need to be brought back to the Gavin Auction Facility are subject to a $20 hauling fee.
