Auction Process
The auction is open to the public and is an online timed auction format. The first lot closes Thursday at 8am and every 15 seconds after the next closes. If there is a bid in the final few minutes of closing the bid clock will reset 5 minutes per bid. There are no in person previews. The auctioneer reserves the right to accept bids in any increment he feels is in the best interest of his client, the seller. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject the bidding of any person whose conduct, actions, or adverse comments he feels are not in the best interest of the seller. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Only those who have purchased items are allowed into the auction house. NO CHILDREN PLEASE.
Removal
Buyers are responsible for removal of their items by the date and specified time (or times) of each auction. After an item has been sold, it becomes the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Bidders must have their paid invoice in hand to show proof of purchase. Pallet jacks will be provided to assist in removal of the items. Forklifts are available as needed. Pallets, gaylord boxes, and wire bins are property of the auction house. Wire bins are not to be removed from the auction house. If removed and not returned within 7 days there will be a $250 rental charge per wire bin. W&S will have staff in place to ensure the correct items are being removed from the auction house. Every effort is made to “guard” the lots/product throughout the auction; however, the bidder becomes solely responsible for all items purchased by him/her immediately following his/her winning bid. Therefore, he/she is advised to further guard his items at his own discretion. Purchases will not be released until the invoice is paid in full.
Disclaimer
While every effort has been made to dispose of brand-name counterfeits there is no claim to the authenticity or value of any item. If the successful buyer has reason to believe the item is counterfeit, he or she must notify someone at the facility prior to leaving the premises. The item in question will be immediately destroyed with no further investigation into the authenticity, and no adjustment will be made to the amount paid for the lot.
