6. Shipping & Handling will be added to all auction invoices unless pickup is arranged at our store in Hazleton, PA.. Any item with noted Extra shipping charges must be paid even if auction is picked up, as this fee is considered a handling fee. To calculate your shipping, add up all winning bids and refer to our Shipping Rates Page or shipping charges tab on your auction, extra shipping will be in addition to these shipping fees.

7. Coupons, Sitewide Discounts, Free Gift with Purchase or any other price reductions are not allowed on auctions. Price bid is the price due, no further discounts allowed.
8. You may place a bid for more than the minimum bid amount. This bid is considered your maximum bid. Your maximum bid is kept hidden from other bidders and your bid will only be placed at one increment over the previous bidders maximum bid.
Example 1:
Lets Assume that:
A. An auction has a current bid of $10
B. The last bidder has a hidden maximum bid of $15
C. The minimum bid amount is $11
D. You bid $20 as your maximum bid
In this example, your maximum bid of $20 would move the current minimum bid to $16, which is one increment higher than the last bidder's maximum bid of $15. Your maximum bid would move one increment higher with each bid placed by other bidders, until someone bids over your maximum amount of $20. At that time, you would need to re-bid a higher amount to stay in the auction.
Example 2:
Lets assume that:
A. An auction has a current bid of $10.00
B. The minimum bid allowed is $11.00
C. You bid $11.00 for your maximum bid.
D. Another user had a maximum bid of $20.00.
In this example, your maximum bid of $11 would not win the position of highest bid, since there is a hidden maximum bid of $20. The new minimum bid listed would be $12, one increment over the last bid. The maximum bid of $20 would stand until someone bids over $21. At that time, the bidder with the maximum bid of $20 would need to re-bid to stay in the auction.
9. Minimum Bid increments typically are $0.50, $1.00, $2.50, $5.00 or $10.00 depending on the retail price of the item. The higher the retail price the higher the bid increment will be. You can figure out what the bid increment for any particular auction is by subtracting the current bid from the minimum bid.
10. You must be registered on our website in order to bid. You can register by clicking this registration link Registration free and is open to all persons 18 and older.
11. Due to timing issues, always refer to the countdown clock on the actual auction page of your item to determine when the auction ends.
