Once the bidding stops and the timer runs out, that item will be eligible to close. In some cases, items are “linked”, keeping one item open for bidding when a different item in the auction has been extended due to active bidding.

By placing a bid, Bidder acknowledges that they have inspected the items to their satisfaction or chooses to not examine them at their sole risk.

Firearms The Auctioneer ( Augie & Bear) will comply with all laws federal, state, and local. Though we may sell firearms that are legal in our jurisdiction, they may not be legal in the bidder’s jurisdiction. It is the sole responsibility and obligation of the buyer to ensure the legality of a firearm in their jurisdiction. A thirty percent (30%) restocking fee will apply if a firearm purchased cannot be possessed in the buyer’s jurisdiction and must be returned to our inventory. Buyers will need to pick up firearms at the selected firearm FFL-licensed location of our choice. We make every effort to choose a pickup location close to the auction location. Buyers will be subject to a mandatory CBI background check for each auction. The buyer will pay the cost of the background check and transaction fee to the FFL location processing the transaction as required by CBI. Valid identification will be required. Contact the auction to determine if your identification is acceptable. Purchases must be paid in full prior to a background check being conducted. If a buyer fails a background check, the Auctioneer shall retain the firearms and refund the purchase price less a thirty-percent (30%) restocking fee. Firearms will be sold ONLY to the registered bidder. They will not be sold to another person, nor will a name be changed on any forms including bidder registrations or invoices. If you attempt to change a transaction to a different person, that is considered a straw purchase. If you know you will not pass a background check, do not bid. Straw purchases are absolutely forbidden. If the Auctioneer has any reason to suspect that a firearm will be given/sold/transferred illegally to a third party, he must, by law, refuse the sale and report his suspicions to the proper authorities. Straw purchases are a federal offense. Used firearms are sold untested. We do not attempt to fire or test any weapon that we sell. We highly recommend that you have all used firearms inspected by a qualified professional before operating. Payment Payment is due at the fall of the hammer and before pick-up.

Cashier or certified checks are also accepted. For purchases or lots over $2500, we also accept wire transfers. The transfer must be completed before pickup. NO PERSONAL CHECKS ACCEPTED. By participating in this auction, buyers expressly agree that they will not “chargeback” or “deny” a credit card purchase. Auto purchases can be paid on credit up to $2500. Above $2500 wire transfer or certified funds will be required. Gun purchases will need to be paid in full and a background check completed by a contracted FFL licensed professional we have selected. Once the background check is completed, firearm(s) will be released to you only in person at the FFL dealer address. NO SHIPPING AVAILABLE for FIREARMS OR AUTOS Pick-up and Removal YOU are responsible for the pick-up and removal of Lot(s) purchased by YOU.

Calculation of Sales Tax and disputes Unless otherwise directed by the appropriate taxing authority, sales tax will be calculated, and collected, based on the Contract Price, which includes the Hammer Price plus the Buyer’s Premium. If YOU believe that YOUR purchase is subject to a sales tax exemption that is not recognized by Auctioneer, or YOU believe that the Buyer’s Premium portion of the Contract Price should not be subject to sales tax, or you otherwise dispute the sales tax, YOU should address YOUR dispute to the appropriate taxing authority and seek a refund from the appropriate taxing authority to the extent that the same may be available to YOU.
