We will send out a message on EstateSales.org to all the winning bidders for scheduling pickup.
Payment: We accept cash, Apple Pay and Credit/Debit Cards (with a service fee) for payment. All sales are final, and no refunds or returns will be accepted. All items must be paid for before they are removed from the premises.
Soft close: Refers to a rule or mechanism that extends the auction's end time if there is last-minute bidding activity. It aims to give all participants a fair chance to place their bids, preventing "sniping," where a bidder tries to win by placing a bid just before the auction's scheduled end.
How a soft close works:
- Initially, each auction item has a set end time. Usually 1 min after the last item. For example: if the auction has 60 items and ends at 7pm the first item will close at 7pm and the last will close at 8pm.
- If a bid is placed on an item within a predefined period (usually a few minutes) before the scheduled end, the auction's closing time is extended by 5 minutes.
- This process continues as long as there are new bids during the extension window. The auction only ends when no new bids are placed during the extension.
This approach allows bidders to compete more fairly, as it prevents someone from swooping in with a last-second bid, giving others a chance to respond.
Removal of Items: Buyers are responsible for the removal of their purchased items from the estate sale location. Buyers are also responsible for bringing their own help and equipment for the removal of larger items. All parties involved are not responsible for any accidents, damages, or injuries that may occur during the removal process.
Liability: The estate sale staff and the property owners are not responsible for any accidents, damages, or injuries that may occur during the estate sale. All attendees and buyers are responsible for their own safety.
By bidding on the auction, you agree to these terms and conditions. Please ask any questions before placing your bids. All items are sold is. Thank you for your cooperation.
