Terms and Conditions

(Please note terms and conditions may be different for each auction and are subject to change):

1) PAYMENT: 

Payment is required within 72 hours of auction close. Erie Auctions, LLC. has the right to deactivate any bidder's account, or cancel the bids of any bidder, for any reason, at their sole discretion, as our auctions are "With Reserve". If you choose to pay by credit card, please note that a surcharge will be imposed on the transaction amount on all credit card transactions, which is not greater than our cost of acceptance. If you have not contacted us to arrange an alternative form of payment within 48 hours of the time the invoice is sent, we will charge the credit card you used to register for the auction for the full amount listed on your invoice approximately 72 hours after your invoice is sent.

2) REMOVAL: 

Shipping arrangements are usually available for most, if not all, items in our auctions. Shipping is an additional cost determined by size, weight, and destination. 

If you do not complete the shipping/pick-up process within the time specified, NO REFUNDS OR CHARGEBACK'S WILL BE GRANTED. Items left will be considered abandoned. The amount of your purchase will be surrendered as a removal fee up to the total amount of your purchase for disposal of your item(s). IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, please call the auction company, as any items you leave at the pick-up are considered abandoned and ownership reverts back to the Seller.

3) BIDDING ERRORS: 

We will not reverse bids that have caused another bidder to be outbid. Please be aware that many bidders routinely increase their own bid to price an item out of reach of other bidders. You should immediately review your bids before submitting. If you bid on the wrong item we will not reverse your bid. We will not reverse bids after the auction has begun closing; no exceptions.

4) AUCTION DESCRIPTION: 

a) Please inspect the lot numbers and read the descriptions. You are bidding on the described item, not the photograph, as occasionally the wrong photo may be displayed. The photo may also depict other items that are not included. Always read the item description. 

b) Individual lots in the catalog may be grouped together and sold as “Choice” or “Times the Money”, at Auction House’s sole discretion, before or during the auction.

5) WARRANTY & CONDITION OF ITEMS SOLD: 

All items are sold "AS IS, WHERE IS", with NO WARRANTY expressed or implied. Descriptions are believed to be accurate, but not guaranteed. When you are not certain of the condition or use of an item, please bid accordingly. Erie Auctions, LLC. is not responsible for the use or misuse of items, infestation and pathogens, environmental harm or any injury or harm caused by items purchased.

6) BUYER DEFAULT: 

If a bidder defaults at an auction, the auction company may, at its option, contact the backup bidder(s) for an offer, but has no legal obligation to do so.

7) DAMAGE: 

Any damage caused by a Buyer is at the expense of the Buyer.

8) CHOOSE WISELY: 

We want everyone to have a good experience. However, when you bid on the wrong item, or decide an item is not suited for your intended use, our Seller(s) are not willing to assume the cost of your mistakes. When in doubt about condition, completeness, or suitability for intended use, please bid accordingly.
