Shipping times are slower due to the pandemic... Don't waste until the last minute (as men tend to do)! This auction takes place January 28th, just over 2 weeks before Valentine's Day, however pre-bidding is open NOW and most lots start at just around $5! The first part of this auction was on January 14th, however we saved high end gold jewelry and more high quality sterling silver for this "part 2" event. >> How to register to bid: At the top of your screen you will see a button on the website menu that says "Login / New Bidder". You will need to click this and fill out the information to create your new account or login if you have an existing account. If you have bid with us in the past and have forgotten your Username or Password, you can reset them from there. We at Garnet Gazelle are unfortunately unable to assist you with this because our website is hosted by another company. >> FAQ: > What does it cost to bid? There is no charge to register or to bid, you only pay if you win an item. The credit card on file will be validated by our software company. This means they will put a "hold" on your credit card for $1 and then reverse that charge within 24 hours. This ensures the card is valid and that you are bidding against only other valid bidders. > What are the other fees? If you win an item you must pay a $5 handling fee + shipping, which is for exactly the amount USPS charges us. We will ship with first class if we can to save on costs, but sometimes it is cheaper to use priority mail. More Information: It isn't unusual for new items to be added literally just minutes before the auction begins so check back regularly! We would recommend that you pick the items you would like to bid on and place a pre-bid. Items can be lost in the final seconds due to Internet outages, device power failure, or website or internet provider failures. Our software makes it so that your computer will bid on your behalf just as if it was a live auction it will go up to your maximum amount according to the increments in place if some else places a bid. For example, if you place a bid of $100 for an item. Someone else bids $60 and nobody else bids, you win your item for $65, ALSO let's say you place a bid of $300 for an item. If someone else bids $300 and nobody else bids, you will still win your item at $300 because it is the first bid (you beat them to the $300 bid thanks to placing a maximum bid). We are utilize a soft close auction. This means if anyone bids in the final seconds before an item closes then bidding extends 2 minutes and everyone will only have 2 minutes total to bid again. This is to keep our process fun and fair by preventing "sniping", where someone could potentially "grab an item away" from the should-be winner by bidding in the very last second. Finally, everyone should PLEASE READ the terms and conditions. All bidders are bound by the same terms and conditions for this auction. Most questions will be answered on our website, but if you have one that isn't you can click the "Feedback" button at the bottom of your screen and we will help you.
