Once the auction has closed on June 3rd, 2019 at 8 PM/EST the highest bid entered in the comment section before 8 PM/EST shall constitute the winning bid. Any bids received at or after 8 PM/EST will not count. We will check timestamps if necessary to verify the correct winner.

Winners will be tagged in the comments section immediately after the auction has ended.

Will you ship items if I want to bid on them?

We ask that bidders read all item descriptions before bidding. Some items are available for shipping while others are not. If an item is available to be shipped, it will say so in the item description and the cost of shipping will be indicated.

Can you ship more than one item?

Yes, if you bid on and win more than one item that is available to be shipped, we can ship your items together to reduce costs. Please be patient and give us at least 48 hours to give you a shipping estimate if you won multiple items.
