..RULES REGS & INSIDER INFO.....

The Basics: CASH preferred. Credit/Debit accepted for purchases $50 and over, with 2% fee. We prefer cash because it is faster, we try to move the checkout line along as fast as possible, this is why no credit/debit for small purchases. BRING CASH!
Checks only if we know you!

We will honor our list for this sale. NEW TIME FOR ADDRESS PUBLICATION FOR THIS SALE! >>> The sign-up sheet will be out 24 hours before the start of the sale. We will be present to put the list out. You MAY NOT start the list early. Only the "official" list will be used, all others will be destroyed. HOUSE IS ALARMED! HOUSE MAY BE OCCUPIED! CLOSE NEIGHBORS!

You may not sign-up earlier than 9am the day before the sale. Please DO NOT sign up more than yourself and your partner. Signing up numerous people is not cool - usually this means they might or might not attend, and it discourages others from signing up if they see a long list.

Note that we try to get everyone in as quickly as possible, while still making it easy for everyone to shop and safe for all. Too crowded is as bad as waiting too long in line. It is always worth the wait and the wait is pretty short at most of our sales.

Buyers will sign-up on the list and entry will be according to your number on the list. There is a more specific description of "THE LIST" on our website under "What to Expect". ONLY OUR OFFICIAL LIST WILL BE USED, YOU CANNOT START YOUR OWN. Please get in line according to your number!! If there is a problem with the list, we encourage the buyers to work it out amicably.
Also, FYI, we photograph the list, first sign-ups photograph and so we have a record of the buyers who have signed up.

***No excess cash on premises - till is emptied regularly. ALL valuables are removed from the sale nightly****

We are a business and must charge sales tax - DEALERS BRING YOUR RESALE CERTS. We keep a list BUT --

***90% of our dealers EXPIRE IN 2017!*** We need your new certificate - NO EXCEPTIONS, even if we know and love you.

We will have SOME bags, boxes and wrap for you but YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN HELP AND EQUIPMENT TO MOVE FURNITURE. ALL ITEMS MUST BE REMOVED BY 2PM Sunday.

Not responsible for accidents or injuries. YOU must move any furniture or electronics that you purchase. YOU. Not us.

Strictly no pre-sales or previews. We will TRY to answer email questions as time allows but some prices may not be generally available before the sale.

ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS - THERE IS NO IMPLIED WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE ON ANY ITEM. BE SURE OF YOUR PURCHASE BEFORE YOU PAY - ALL SALES ARE FINAL!

As with most sales, IF YOU PUT IT IN YOUR BOX OR PILE - YOU ARE BUYING IT! IF YOU TAG IT 'SOLD', IT IS YOURS. IF YOU PAY FOR IT, YOU OWN IT. NO REFUNDS, NO HOLDS.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone - price tag manipulation, suspicious behavior and anything else that annoys us will result in immediate expulsion. Just kidding.....BUT.... you know the rules - play nice, be considerate and kind to one another - we'll have some fun and you'll get great deals!
