Winning bidders are responsible for picking up their items at the specified location and within the allotted time frame as outlined in the auction details or your invoice. You are responsible for lifting, carrying, or towing items and equipment you purchase. We do not provide packing and moving help. Bring help to lift large and heavy items and proper equipment to tow items like riding mowers, wood chipper, and other oversized equipment. Bring your own boxes and packing materials. If you fail to bring assistance or cannot remove your items during the scheduled pick-up time, a $100 restocking fee will be charged.

Winning local bidders will receive a link to sign up for pick-ups, after payment is made, and THEN you will receive the address by email prior to pick-ups. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU’VE SIGNED UP FOR A PICK-UP TIME, and CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER FIRST, BEFORE texting us that you were not given the address.
