    DESCRIPTION OF ITEMS: All descriptions and information are believed correct, but are not guaranteed as such by Renaissance By Design, LLC, its auctioneer and/or the Seller and they shall not be held liable for inaccuracies in the information. It is always the Bidders responsibility to verify - prior to bidding, any information deemed critical to their decision to purchase.

All items in this auction are being sold “as-is” and “where-is” with no guarantees or warranties of any kind including merchantability and/or fitness for any particular or special purpose.  All sales are final.

    BIDDING: Online bidding is to be considered a binding contract. Bids are taken with the general understanding that the bidder will honor their winning bid along with all applicable taxes and fees. Do not bid if you do not intend to pay. You will be automatically emailed if you are outbid and are welcome to enter a max bid (site will bid automatically for you only when another bid surpasses yours until your max bid is reached).  Check back often and check your email for outbid notices.  Notification of winning bids will be sent via email along with an auction invoice within 24 hours of the auction’s close.  Check your "spam" email folder if you do not receive your invoice within that time frame.  Note:  Auction invoices will be automatically charged to your card on file if you are located outside the local pick-up area.  Shipping will not be included and will be billed separately. If shipping is required, credit card information must be called into MLS after receiving the Shipping Invoice. If you choose to refuse to pay shipping, it is understood you are still required to pay for the item you won.   If you make no other arrangements for shipping or pick up within one week of close of auction – items will be considered abandoned and become property of MLS Estate Sales.  Local pick-up can pay on location and pick up by appointment.  See payment information.

    EXTENDED BIDDING: All items in the auction will be subject to an extended ending, where at the close of the auction, any bidding activity on an item within 1 minute of the closing time will automatically extend the bidding for 5 more minutes past the time of the last bid. The bidding on that lot will continue to remain open in 5 minute intervals as long as there is bidding activity within 5 minutes of the previous bid. Once there is no bidding activity within the 5 minute period, the bidding on that item will close. For example, if a lot is supposed to close at 7:00 PM but a last minute bid is placed at 6:59PM, bidding will be extended until 7:05 PM. If another bid is placed on an item at 7:01 PM, bidding will then close at 7:06 PM, unless subsequent bids are placed.

    PENALTIES: Any fraudulent bidding, illegal activity and/or negligence to provide proper payment in the allotted time will result in recourse to appropriate legal action and forfeiture of the rights to any of the auction items. Winning bidders who do not successfully complete the sale with timely pickup and full payment will be barred from all future sales conducted by our company and will be given an unsatisfactory review with Auction Zip.Com/Invaluable and estatesales.org.  This is meant to warn other auction houses you do not fulfill your contractual obligations.

    Regular Retail Store Hours: Durinig Covid - Friday 11AM-4PM and Saturday Noon-4PM and/or by appointment.

    WON ITEMS TO BE SHIPPED: Upon winning the bid, please provide us with a telephone number, e-mail address and full mailing address within 24 hours so we can begin our shipping process.  Lack of communication may result in us believing the bid is abandoned and bar you from future sales. If we don't have an email address, we won't know how to correctly invoice you with shipping costs.  Please go back into your profile and add your address and phone number if you have not done so. We will E-MAIL you a Shipping Invoice with shipping charges and payment instructions. You must fulfill your payment obligations within one week of the auction closing to prevent losing the ability to bid in our auctions, unless prior arrangements are made.

    SHIPPING:  Most items in this sale are available for shipping and noted if NOT. We prefer to use the USPS Priority Mail or Flat Rate Box/Quick Ship System - if the item you want shipped fits into one of the USPS boxes and you live in the contiguous 48 states. This system includes tracking and insurance up to $50.00.  If the item is over $50.00 we will add the required insurance to protect your item and add it to your invoice.  Please be aware that in addition to the actual Priority Rate or Flat Rate Box System shipping cost there is a minimal $5.00 per box packing fee or a $3.00 per envelope packing fee. We will do our best to find the least expensive way to ship. Realize that with any labor related costs, it is not unusual for shipping to cost more than the item - many times much more.  Consider as you are bidding the actual value you will receive when you get an item at a really good price, that even with shipping, you won a treasure at a good value.

    However, if you really want to bid on an item and would need that item shipped by another means, we may be able to assist. Please contact our office to discuss shipping possibilities. We will coordinate with you prior to shipping to determine costs. Shipping costs – including packing fees, will be charged to your credit card before shipping occurs. We require shipped items to be insured, but you can opt out.  If you choose to save those costs, we require signatured written confirmation of your understanding there will be no guarantees of any kind with that shipment other than we will do our best to get it to you safely.

    Please provide a telephone number, e-mail address and mailing address for your credit card for verification and protection. We will call you within 48 hours to get your credit card information.  Do NOT e-mail us your card number.  Once payment has cleared in full and all shipping information is verified, shipments will leave our premises within 48 hours during regular business days, unless otherwise noted on your invoice. We will maintain all the tracking information in the unlikely event you need it.  Note:  It sometimes takes up to 7 days for credit cards to clear for first time users of Stripe.

    DAMAGED GOODS: If an item is damaged, please contact us ASAP.  We will need photos of the damaged goods to begin the USPS claim.  Text photos to: Kelli at 502-500-7760, so she can start the claim. You will then need to take them to your local post office for verification and surrender the items.  Be sure to get a receipt for the items, send us a copy and keep the original for your records.  The claim can only be the dollar amount of what you paid per item.  If there are multiple items in the same box but only one broke - you only get paid for the one.  So if you won a set of 5 perfume bottles for $5.00, your claim could only be for $1.00.  It doesn't matter if you were lucky and napped a Lalique perfume bottle in the lot, with an actually worth of $50.00, you will still only recover $1.00 from the USPS.  Shipping fees and charges are nonrefundable.

    QUESTIONS: For answers to questions regarding this sale contact MLS Estate Sales, a division of Renaissance By Design, LLC.  Our goal is to make this sale an experience that you will enjoy. Kelli.milligan1@gmail.com or 502 500-7760.

You will be automatically emailed if you are outbid and are welcome to enter a max bid (site will bid automatically for you only when another bid surpasses yours until your max bid is reached).  Check back often and check your email for outbid notices.  Notification of winning bids will be sent via email along with an auction invoice within 24 hours of the auction’s close.  Check your "spam" email folder if you do not receive your invoice within that time frame.  Note:  Auction invoices will be automatically charged to your card on file if you are located outside the local pick-up area.  Shipping will not be included and will be billed separately. If shipping is required, credit card information must be called into MLS after receiving the Shipping Invoice. If you choose to refuse to pay shipping, it is understood you are still required to pay for the item you won.   If you make no other arrangements for shipping or pick up within one week of close of auction – items will be considered abandoned and become property of MLS Estate Sales.  Local pick-up can pay on location and pick up by appointment.  See payment information.

CLOSE OF BIDDING: The bidding will begin to close at 6PM (Eastern Time Zone), Thursday, August 27, 2020. The closing of some items may be extended in the event of last minute bidding.

EXTENDED BIDDING: All items in the auction will be subject to an extended ending, where at the close of the auction, any bidding activity on an item within 1 minute of the closing time will automatically extend the bidding for 5 more minutes past the time of the last bid. The bidding on that lot will continue to remain open in 5 minute intervals as long as there is bidding activity within 5 minutes of the previous bid. Once there is no bidding activity within the 5 minute period, the bidding on that item will close. For example, if a lot is supposed to close at 7:00 PM but a last minute bid is placed at 6:59PM, bidding will be extended until 7:05 PM. If another bid is placed on an item at 7:01 PM, bidding will then close at 7:06 PM, unless subsequent bids are placed.

PENALTIES: Any fraudulent bidding, illegal activity and/or negligence to provide proper payment in the allotted time will result in recourse to appropriate legal action and forfeiture of the rights to any of the auction items. Winning bidders who do not successfully complete the sale with timely pickup and full payment will be barred from all future sales conducted by our company and will be given an unsatisfactory review with Auction Zip.Com/Invaluable and estatesales.org.  This is meant to warn other auction houses you do not fulfill your contractual obligations.

AUCTIONEER'S RIGHT TO BID: In accordance with KRS330.220(6)(a), it is hereby disclosed that, with permission from the sellers, the auctioneer and staff members reserve the right to bid

BUYER'S PREMIUM: A customary 10% buyer’s premium will be added to the winning bid of each item to determine the final selling price.

WON ITEMS TO BE SHIPPED: Upon winning the bid, please provide us with a telephone number, e-mail address and full mailing address within 24 hours so we can begin our shipping process.  Lack of communication may result in us believing the bid is abandoned and bar you from future sales. If we don't have an email address, we won't know how to correctly invoice you with shipping costs.  Please go back into your profile and add your address and phone number if you have not done so. We will E-MAIL you a Shipping Invoice with shipping charges and payment instructions. You must fulfill your payment obligations within one week of the auction closing to prevent losing the ability to bid in our auctions, unless prior arrangements are made.

SHIPPING:  Most items in this sale are available for shipping and noted if NOT. We prefer to use the USPS Priority Mail or Flat Rate Box/Quick Ship System - if the item you want shipped fits into one of the USPS boxes and you live in the contiguous 48 states. This system includes tracking and insurance up to $50.00.  If the item is over $50.00 we will add the required insurance to protect your item and add it to your invoice.  Please be aware that in addition to the actual Priority Rate or Flat Rate Box System shipping cost there is a minimal $5.00 per box packing fee or a $3.00 per envelope packing fee. We will do our best to find the least expensive way to ship. Realize that with any labor related costs, it is not unusual for shipping to cost more than the item - many times much more.  Consider as you are bidding the actual value you will receive when you get an item at a really good price, that even with shipping, you won a treasure at a good value.

However, if you really want to bid on an item and would need that item shipped by another means, we may be able to assist. Please contact our office to discuss shipping possibilities. We will coordinate with you prior to shipping to determine costs. Shipping costs – including packing fees, will be charged to your credit card before shipping occurs. We require shipped items to be insured, but you can opt out.  If you choose to save those costs, we require signatured written confirmation of your understanding there will be no guarantees of any kind with that shipment other than we will do our best to get it to you safely.

Please provide a telephone number, e-mail address and mailing address for your credit card for verification and protection. We will call you within 48 hours to get your credit card information.  Do NOT e-mail us your card number.  Once payment has cleared in full and all shipping information is verified, shipments will leave our premises within 48 hours during regular business days, unless otherwise noted on your invoice. We will maintain all the tracking information in the unlikely event you need it.  Note:  It sometimes takes up to 7 days for credit cards to clear for first time users of Stripe.

DAMAGED GOODS: If an item is damaged, please contact us ASAP.  We will need photos of the damaged goods to begin the USPS claim.  Text photos to: Kelli at 502-500-7760, so she can start the claim. You will then need to take them to your local post office for verification and surrender the items.  Be sure to get a receipt for the items, send us a copy and keep the original for your records.  The claim can only be the dollar amount of what you paid per item.  If there are multiple items in the same box but only one broke - you only get paid for the one.  So if you won a set of 5 perfume bottles for $5.00, your claim could only be for $1.00.  It doesn't matter if you were lucky and napped a Lalique perfume bottle in the lot, with an actually worth of $50.00, you will still only recover $1.00 from the USPS.  Shipping fees and charges are nonrefundable.
