Auction Terms & Conditions
By registering for this auction, you agree to the following terms and conditions. This is a legal binding contract between you, referred to as the "bidder" and Accurate Estate Services referred to as the "auction house".
1. Item Condition: The bidder acknowledges all items are sold "AS-IS" and "WHERE IS". The Auction Houses makes no guarantee to the condition or usability of items up for auction. The Auction House will make its best effort to write accurate descriptions of each items up for auction. This is a service provided to the Bidder.
2-3. Payment and Pick-up. Winning bids are charged to the card on file after the auction closes. Please indicate at the close of the auction or before if you wish to pay by a different method. Items are picked up at our location by appointment. You will be provided a link to the online signup.
4. Buyer’s Premium: The Bidder understands that each item up for auction will have a buyer's premium of 15% added to the price of each item. When placing a bid please take the buyer’s premium into account and bid accordingly. This means that if an item is sold at $100, the buyer’s premium would be $15, and your total would be $115 (not including Michigan's 6% sales tax).
5. Sales Tax: Due to Michigan law, there will be sales tax of 6% added to every lot won.
6. Failure to Pick-Up: The Auction Houses reserves the right to dispose of any items the Bidder has not picked up within 90 days of the auction close
7. Inspection/Preview Appointment: The Auction Houses will offer limited preview appointments.
8. Info Changes: The Bidder agrees to let the Auction Houses know of any changes with their contact information or credit information as soon as the Bidder knows.

11. Staggered Closing and Soft Closing: The Auction Houses uses staggered closing which means that lots close within seconds of each other giving everyone a chance to view each item closing in real time. The Auction Houses also uses soft closing, which means that an auction item ends only after a specific time without any additional bids. This prevents against sniping and giving every bidder a fair chance at winning that item.
12. Bidder Notification: If the Bidder has won any items at the auction, the Auction House will notify them via email to let them know the items they have won and amount they owe. Please make sure you check your email after the auction has closed. In the event the Bidder won an item at the auction and does not receive this email, contact the auction house at 313-920-3637.
