FLAT BIDDING, NOT MAX BID. YOUR BID YOU PUT IN WILL BE THE AMOUNT YOUR BID WILL GO TO. THIS WAY YOU ARE ABLE TO JUMP BIDS IF YOU WANT.
WE DO NOT CHARGE AUTOMATICALLY THROUGH HIBID: We do not use HiBid's payment process. We offer other ways to pay including cash, credit card, debit and e-mail transfers from our Canadian customers. Please note debit is limited to $100 per transaction. THE ONLY FORM OF PAYMENT WE ACCEPT FROM OUR USA CUSTOMERS IS PAYPAL.
If you require shipping you need to e-mail us back as soon as possible so we can arrange payment and confirm the correct shipping address as well as organize the correct shipping method you would like. DO NOT PAY UNTIL WE HAVE A TOTAL INCLUDING SHIPPING FOR YOU.
All items are sold as is. Not every item is in perfect condition. We will do our best to describe any known flaws of any item. Please be aware that things get past us. Please take the time to view all the pictures so you have an idea of what you are bidding on.
During an auction you can check the status of your bids at anytime. Note that no bids can be withdrawn after the auction for any reason. All items are sold as is, where is, with all faults with no guarantees that any item is fit for a particular use. Descriptions are of opinion only and will be done as accurately as our immediate knowledge permits, but not to be deemed laudable. We strongly recommend attending the previews if available on any and all auctions. All bids are legally binding and enforceable in Ontario, Canada.
You can choose to be notified by e-mail during the auction if you have been outbid. Please note that outbid notifications are NOT sent out during the last two hours of the sale.
All winning bidders will receive an e-mail invoice within 24 hours of the auction closing.
Seldom are items sold with Reserve. If an item is being sold with a reserve, it will be clearly marked and identified. For items sold with a 'reserve', you will be required to pay a minimum amount in order to win the item.
If something is unclear to you please do not hesitate to contact us. We can help calrify any questions you may have regarding an item.
We will try to allow veiwing of items if necessary. This will have to be scheduled at our convenience.

Payments are due no later than the Sunday follwoing the auction close date. If payment is not made by then there will be a $10 late charge fee applied. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you cannot pay, please do not bid. Consignors need to be paid and this is not fair to us to chase people down all the time. Those who do not pay within 8 days, the items will be marked abandoned and they will go back into the auction. The bidder will then be blocked from bidding in the future. This could impact your overall HiBid score and you might find it difficult to bid on other auction with different auction houses as well. We hate blocking folks, but sometimes it is neccessary.
***** Covid-19 Social Distance measures are in place when picking up. Please come to the door and ring the bell when you arrive. You must wear a mask when picking up. Only one customer is allowed inside at a time during the winter months. If we are with a customer, you will need to wait your turn. We want to ensure everyone stays safe during these times. Please if you can try to refrain from using cash that would be very appreciated. Etransfers are contactless and safer for everyone. While we understand etransfers cannot be done by everyone, we are trying to limit the cash that comes in and leaves. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask. *****
Items must be picked up during scheduled pickup times. Any items not picked up during these times could be charged a $10 late pickup fee. We need the space around here. We are not a storage facility. If you cannot pick up for some reason, please communicate that to us so we know what is going on. You will not be charged a late pickup fee if you communicate. Items need to be picked up before the next auction ends, no exceptions. For those who like to pay and then never show up, your items will be marked as abandoned after 30 days and they will go back into auction again with no refunds.
Payment from Canadian customers can be made in the form of cash, debit (limit of $100 per transaction), credit card or email transfer.

Handling Fee For Shipping Orders is now in affect as of July 1st, 2020. All orders sent in a bubble mailer will have an extra $2 added to their shipping cost. All orders packed in a box will have an extra $4 added to their shipping cost. We feel this amount is reasonable and justified for this convenient service. This includes all the time spent packing, doing shipping quotes and the fuel and time it takes going to the post office numerous times.
