IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR LOCAL PICK-UP BIDDERS:
We are the ONLY MARYLAND AUCTION we are aware of that has NO BUYERS PREMIUMS OR CREDIT CARD FEES added to your purchase. We are only able to do this since we DO NOT HAVE a physical auction facility or even a storage locker for little overhead. ALL our auctions are conducted on-site, therefore, STATED PICK-UP DAYS are the ONLY DAYS you can retrieve your auction merchandise. We will not store or transport items to a future sale since our entire staff now travels only on motorcycle to insure ample parking for our buyer's vehicles. Please do not ask Smitty, John or Shannan to haul your merchandise home - we love all our customers, but are unable. Any item not picked up for any reason (and we have heard them all) will be forfeited and no refunds will be made. A bid is a contract to both pay for AND pick-up your winnings. Again, we love ALL OUR CUSTOMERS but lately at each auction there are at least 10 pick-ups missed so we must make clear the situation to all. Any large items not picked up may incur haul off fees by our clean out company since this property must be turned over to the realtor Monday morning. Thanks!
We are not responsible for any accidents or injuries on the property during pick-up. Bring help to haul heavy items.
