Item Descriptions & Condition
We make every reasonable effort to accurately photograph and describe all items offered for sale. Photographs are considered part of the item description and should be carefully reviewed prior to bidding.
Please note:
● vintage, antique, and previously owned items will often display signs of age and use
● not all imperfections may be specifically noted
● dimensions and measurements are approximate unless otherwise stated
● items not specifically described as tested should be assumed untested
No guarantees are made regarding:
● functionality
● authenticity
● provenance
● completeness
● manufacturer specifications
● repair history
If an accessory, component, or item is not shown in photographs or specifically referenced in the listing description, it should not be assumed to be included.
Buyers are encouraged to conduct independent research and request clarification prior to bidding.
AS-IS Policy
All property is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, with no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied. All sales are final.

Due to the nature of estate and secondary-market goods, refunds, returns, exchanges, or cancellations are not permitted except where expressly required by law or covered through optional third-party return protection.
Certain eligible items may qualify for optional “Make It Returnable” coverage through Seel at the time of bidding. Any claims or returns associated with that coverage are administered exclusively through Seel according to their policies and procedures.
We are located in the southwest desert, where it is not uncommon to find black widow spiders, scorpions, and other critters. Always check your purchases for any hitchhikers!
Jewelry & Gemstones
Jewelry descriptions are provided to the best of our knowledge and based upon visible markings and limited testing methods when applicable. Jewelry has not been independently appraised unless specifically noted within the listing.
Precious metals are often described as marked and not acid tested unless noted otherwise.
Gemstone identifications are educated approximations only and are not guaranteed. Gemstones are tested with a Presidium Gem Tester, which does not differentiate between natural and synthetic colored gemstones. Gem types are only suggestions based on a Presidium tester gauge, as it covers such a wide range of gems with overlapping data.
Fine Art
Artwork is offered without guarantees of authenticity, attribution, provenance, or artist identification unless expressly stated otherwise with a certificate of authenticity provided by the client.
Clocks, Watches & Mechanical Devices
The operating condition of clocks, watches, electronics, and mechanical devices is not guaranteed unless specifically noted as tested and functional.
Payment Terms
Winning bidders will have their default payment method automatically charged following auction close.
An invoice/receipt will be sent to the email address on file following auction close.
Invoices and receipts may also be accessed through your CTBids account under: My Account → Invoices/Receipts

Items that remain unpaid by 8:00 AM on the scheduled pickup day may be deemed abandoned and resold without further notice.
Accounts with unresolved balances will be suspended from future participation.
Tax-Exempt Purchases
All transactions with out-of-state buyers requesting shipping to an out-of-state address are tax-exempt in Arizona. However, our system automatically applies taxes to each transaction when invoices are generated. If you are an out-of-state buyer and will require your items to be shipped consistently, please upload this document to your account so we can permanently mark it as tax-exempt.
All Arizona-based resellers and tax-exempt buyers are required to provide a copy of AZ Form 5000 or AZ Form 5000A (whichever applies to you) prior to the end of the sale. The purpose is to document and establish a basis for state and city tax deductions or exemptions. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-5009, we must have a copy of AZ Form 5000 or 5000A on file for you (not your business license). You MUST upload this information to your Ctbids account and notify us via email when you have done so before the end of the sale. We cannot edit invoices after they have been paid. This will allow adjustment of your invoice for the removal of sales tax before payment is collected. If all future purchases are tax-exempt, we can set up your profile to always remove the tax. Otherwise, this is done on a per-purchase basis & you are required to notify us before the sale ends that your purchase is tax-exempt.
Item Receipt Method
When placing a bid, the system will automatically prompt bidders to select an ‘Item Receipt Method’:
● ‘Pickup’ - Local pickup in Tucson or surrounding areas. The general pickup location is listed in both the title of the sale and the ‘Pickup Details’ section of the auction listing.
● ‘Shipping’ - In-house packing and shipping service available at the buyer’s expense. See detailed terms below.
● ‘Delivery’ - Affordable local delivery service available at the buyer’s expense. See detailed terms below.
If, for any reason, your ‘Item Receipt Method’ changes between the time you placed your bid and the scheduled pickup day, you MUST notify us via email or phone before the scheduled pickup day indicated on your invoice ends. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you will be receiving your items via the selected ‘Item Receipt Method’.

Pickup Scheduling & Procedures
Following the auction close, winning bidders will receive communication through Shipping Saint to:
● confirm their item receipt method
● schedule pickup appointments
Pickup appointments are scheduled in timed intervals to ensure an orderly and efficient experience for all buyers.
If another individual will retrieve items on your behalf, advance notice, including their name and contact information, is required.
Buyers are responsible for:
● bringing adequate packing materials for safe transport
● arranging sufficient loading assistance
● ensuring appropriate transportation capacity
Staff assistance with loading may be limited or unavailable.
Prior to departing the pickup location, buyers (or appointed pickup person) are responsible for verifying:
● all purchased items have been received
● all purchased items are in the expected condition
● item quantities are correct
Any concerns regarding condition or missing items must be addressed onsite. Once items have left the premises, claims regarding missing items or condition discrepancies may not be accommodated.
Missed Pickup & Abandoned Property
Items must be retrieved during the scheduled pickup window unless alternate arrangements have been approved in advance.
Late pickup accommodations are limited and offered solely at our discretion based upon staffing, scheduling, and storage availability. Please reach out in advance if you cannot make it to the scheduled pick-up day.
Approved late pickups may incur storage and handling fees.

Items not retrieved within the designated timeframe, and without approved arrangements, may be deemed abandoned and subject to resale, donation, or disposal without refund.

Delivery charges must be paid by 8:00 AM on the scheduled pick up day.
Packing & Shipping Services
Packing and shipping are offered in-house as a convenience service and are available at the buyer’s expense. If you would like to have your purchases shipped, please select the "Shipping" option as your ‘Item Receipt Method’ when placing a bid.
All shipping communication, including shipping confirmation, invoicing, and shipping updates, is via Shipping Saint.
Packing & Shipping charges include:
● carrier postage (FedEx, UPS, USPS, White Glove)
● packing materials
● labor
● insurance
● specialty handling fees (if applicable)
Shipping costs are calculated only after items have been packed, measured, and weighed. We cannot provide a shipping estimate in advance.

Please note that shipping costs may exceed the purchase price of an item, particularly for fragile, oversized, or multi-piece lots. Bid accordingly.
Entire lots must be shipped together. Partial lot shipping is not available.
Shipment processing timelines vary depending on item volume and complexity. We strive to have invoices sent within 2-4 weeks of the auction pick up day. If you have not received an updated invoice (via Shipping Saint) within three weeks of the auction pick up date, please contact us via email at tucson@caringtransitions.com
Shipping charges are determined by the shipping carrier (FedEx, UPS, USPS, or White Glove) and are added to the packing fees. By default, we will select the carrier with the least expensive label. If you have a carrier preference, you MUST let us know your preferred carrier within 24 hours of the auction ending. Insurance above the amount provided by the shipper, equal to the invoice amount, will be added to the shipping costs.
Packing fees are determined by materials used, pack time, lot size, and more, starting at a minimum of $10 per invoice. A breakdown of your packing fee will be included on your Shipping Saint invoice. Additional charges are assessed for special shipping requests, such as packing method, expediting, and more, starting at a minimum of $20.
For invoices exceeding $300, a signature will be required upon delivery. If you would like the signature requirement removed, a photo of a valid ID with the name and address associated with the Ctbids account will need to be emailed to tucson@caringtransitions.com.
We ship via Pak Mail for large, fragile, or unusual-shaped items that we cannot pack in-house. A handling and transport fee of $70 will be invoiced via CTBids for items sent to PakMail for shipping. This fee is separate from the PakMail packing and shipping fee. PakMail will contact you with their shipping cost.
The “Billing To” address from your invoice is used for all your shipping purchases. All packages will be shipped to this address unless you change the address on your account profile AND email us regarding this change. You will be prompted by Shipping Saint to confirm your shipping address before making payment for packing/shipping.
Shipping Payment Requirements
Shipping invoices are issued separately through Shipping Saint.
Buyers are responsible for timely payment of all shipping-related charges.
Unpaid shipping invoices remaining outstanding beyond seven (7) days may result in the associated items being deemed abandoned without refund.
Tracking information will be provided via email/text once the shipment has been sent.
