THE PICKIN CHICK — TERMS & CONDITIONS
GENERAL TERMS: This is an online-only auction conducted by The Pickin Chick. All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES of any kind. All sales are final. Descriptions and photos are provided for bidder convenience, but it is the bidder’s responsibility to evaluate condition, authenticity, and value using their own judgment. In the event of any discrepancy between photos and descriptions, the auctioneer will make the final determination of the item offered for sale.
There is a 12% buyer’s premium on all purchases. By registering to bid, you acknowledge and accept all terms and conditions. All registration information provided must be current and accurate, and bidders must be 18 years of age or older to participate. The Pickin Chick reserves the sole right to approve or deny any bidder at its discretion. Bidders agree not to engage in any conduct, device, or software use that interferes with the auction process or the integrity of the sale.
PAYMENT TERMS: All bidders must register with a valid credit or debit card prior to bidding. The auctioneer cannot register or place bids on behalf of any bidder. Payment is due once the auction has closed, and invoices are typically processed within one hour of the final lot closing.
A valid photo ID may be required at any time to verify the identity of the registered bidder or for security and fraud-prevention purposes. For orders over $500, a matching photo ID is required at pickup. For orders over $1,000, payment must be made by credit card (with matching ID and person present at pickup), cash, or wire transfer—no exceptions. All transactions are processed through Global Payments within HiBid unless alternative arrangements have been approved in writing prior to auction close. The bidder authorizes The Pickin Chick to charge the card on file for any and all purchases made. All sales are final, and no refunds or chargebacks will be permitted.
PICKUP TERMS: All items must be picked up during the designated pickup date and time listed in the auction details. These times are firm and established to ensure an efficient, organized process for both bidders and staff. The Pickin Chick does not offer alternate pickup dates or extended hours unless explicitly stated in the auction listing.
Bidders are fully responsible for the safe and timely removal of all items. Please bring adequate help, tools, and packing materials—our team does not assist with lifting, loading, or disassembly. Any damage to property, driveways, structures, or vehicles during removal will be the financial responsibility of the bidder.
Any items not picked up during the scheduled time will be considered forfeited without refund and may be subject to removal or disposal fees. The Pickin Chick is not responsible for lost, damaged, or unclaimed items after the pickup window closes.
Pickup details, including address, times, and any special instructions, are listed on the auction page and in your invoice. Please read carefully prior to bidding.
SHIPPING TERMS: Shipping Policy: Shipping is available only with auctioneer approval. We ship small, non-fragile, easy-to-package items (e.g., quilts, pocket knives, etc.) only. No shipping of glassware, artwork, or bulk lots. To request shipping approval, please contact Heather at Heathershayne@gmail.com or text 636-346-3493.
