Upon winning the bid for an item(s), after paying for the item(s) purchased, the buyer is obligated to remove the item(s) from the auction site within a timely manner.
Ulmer Auction Service may deem a buyer's failure to claim and remove item(s) or contact us to make arrangements for removal of item(s), within 60 days (up to 180 days may be possible if we are kept aware in writing) following the close of an auction as evidence of the buyer's intention to abandon the item.

In the event of re-sale, upon receipt by Ulmer Auction Service of such resale amount, any proceeds remaining after the deductions as set forth herein, will be returned to the abandoning buyer, provided Ulmer Auction Service is able to determine a method for doing so.
