Estate Auction of Cars, Tools, Equipment, and Musical Instruments!

In Rainier Estates Auctions, All Sales Are Final. All bids are considered final. Everything is sold as-is, where-is. Please reach out with any questions or clarifications prior to bidding. No Reserve Prices; in all our online auctions, we don't use hidden "reserve prices"- the opening bid amount listed for each auction item is our reserve sale price (we feel this is more transparent for our auction participants). When the online auction closes, all winning bidders will be charged via Stripe for the full amount of their auction invoice (this will charge the payment method provided on the bidder's online auction profile).

All winning bidders must be prepared to pay additional shipping cost OR be available for pickup in Everett, WA on October 13th or 14th, 2023 (or have someone who can come pick up on their behalf). Once the auction has finished for all items, all winners will receive an email communication with next steps.

***IF you like an item in the auction and shipping is not an option provided, we are happy to work with buyers if they would like to organize their own shipping and packing provider for auction items currently labeled "for local pickup only".***

Sales Tax: We charge sales tax to all purchases, with the exception of registered vehicles and trailers (which is the responsibility of the vehicle purchaser at the time of registration). We charge the appropriate amount of sales tax for the city where the sale is being held (typically around 10%). If you are a re-seller and qualify for sales tax exemption, you are responsible for adding your reseller information to your bidding profile prior to bidding (after the auction has concluded, we cannot remove sales tax). The buyers premium is not subject to sales tax, only the final bid amount.

Pickups: All local pickups must occur on October 13th or 14th, 2023 in Everett, and will be by appointment only. After the auction bidding for all items has closed on October 11th, a Rainier Estates representative will reach out to schedule a pickup appointment with all the winners (appointment windows will be first come-first served, and . Once your pickup time has been confirmed, the full address in Everett, WA will be provided to you.

****BONUS**** Auction buyers who come to pick up their winning items will have the opportunity to shop hundreds of unlisted items in the estate ahead of an upcoming on-site estate sale. It's like getting exclusive early-access to an estate sale, so don't miss out- bid on something today!

PLEASE come prepared for pickups with an appropriate vehicle, packing materials, any necessary tools, and moving assistance that you will require for your items - we are also happy to coordinate with local buyers who would prefer to purchase moving assistance with the LUGG App and have large items (such as furniture) delivered directly to their home.

Shipping: (If applicable) All shipping costs are additional to the bid price and will be added to the buyer's invoice (a receipt of the shipping cost can be provided, as requested). Unless you have a preferred shipping partner that you would like to schedule for an on-site pickup, our team utilizes USPS to ship most qualifying auction items to winners. For auction items that are particularly fragile and/or valuable, we utilize UPS professional packing and shipping services to ensure that items arrive safely. We recommend providing the dimensions/value of the items you're considering to your local USPS or UPS so they can assist you with estimating the cost of shipping from 98203 (Everett, WA) to your location. We cannot provide exact shipping estimates. We update the buyer's invoice and share the tracking number with the recipient once their package is sent.
