Some bidders will routinely increase their bids to price an item out of reach of other bidders - ALL BIDS should be reviewed before submitting. In the event of a bidding error you must contact our office at staff@pickinestatesauction.com or call (951) 751-7235 immediately to correct the error. We will not reverse any bids once auctions end. NO EXCEPTIONS. 6) Sale Terms: ALL SALES ARE FINAL - NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS. Pickin Estates does not guarantee the condition of any item. It is the responsibility of the bidder to preview all items at our warehouse prior to bidding. There will be a 2 day open house to preview items up for auction prior to each auction start date where you can inspect the items. No other days will be available for viewing before auctions end. Descriptions are given as accurately as possible and photos are provided, but physically previewing items is strongly recommended. All merchandise is sold AS IS, where is, with no guarantees or warranties on any item sold. We do not want cases of Buyer's Remorse - know what you're buying before bidding. 7) Staggered Closing: Pickin Estates online auctions close one (1) item per minute. If a bid is placed on an item within the last minute, the auction time extends an additional three (3) minutes to give other bidders a final opportunity to increase their bids. This feature works great at emulating a "live" auction. Please remember to use your refresh button often to ensure you are seeing the correct end time for each item. 8) Bidding: All items will be sold to the highest bidder. Items will show the high bidders number next to the item, if it's not your bidder number, you have been outbid. Outbid emails will be sent up to the last day of the auction. 9) Item Removal: Each auction will have designated days for items to be picked up. If you can not pick up won items on the days and times listed, please do not bid. No refunds will be made and your items will be considered abandoned if won items are not picked up. We understand that sometimes emergency situations occur, in those cases please contact staff@pickinestatesauction.com to make other arrangements. In some instances, lots will be put together in metal drawers or wood crates - these are not included in the sale unless specified so. Bring your own boxes and wrapping materials. 10) Damage: Any damage caused by a bidder during preview or while picking up will be made good by the bidder/buyer. Buyer agrees that the credit card on file will be charged for any expenses and/or repairs necessary to correct any damage incurred. (11) Disputes: Any controversy or claims arising out of or relating to this contract and/or agreement, or breach thereof, shall be settled by either Small Claims Court, State Court or arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgments upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Venue will be San Bernardino County, California.
