If paying by Credit or Debit Card there will be a additional 3.85% fee charged to you by the Credit Card Processing Company. 2. Pickup: Pickup days will be posted on the auction site as well as sent to every winning bidder via email provided by said bidder. 2-A. Bidder is expected to bring help to load heavy items. If a representative of Allure Estate Sales helps pack or load any items into your Vehicle Bidder does not hold the Auction House or their representative liability for any damage to the items or property of any kind. 2-B. Allure Estate Sales will provide limited packaging material. It is highly recommended to bring your own packaging material and boxes for your items won. 2-C Shipping: We handle the shipping of most small or medium sized items in-house using Shipping Saint. All shipments require insurance and signature confirmation. We do not ship items without insurance coverage for the final invoiced sales price of the item(s) including Buyer's Premium. We do not accept 3rd party shipping labels. Allure Estate Sales charges $5 for packing labor, the cost of shipping supplies (new boxes, bubble wrap, paper, and packing peanuts), and the retail cost of shipping. Once we pack items for shipment, the items will not be released until payment is made in full for all packing and shipping charges and fees. This is required by our insurance provider. We do not provide refunds to buyers due to the cost of shipping being too high. Packing and shipping charges will be charged to the card on file if payment is not received promptly. 3. Disposal of Unclaimed Items: In the event, you refuse to pay for or abandon any item that you win at auction, the Auctioneer will have the option of reselling, removing, storing, or disposing of the unpaid-for or abandoned item. You understand and agree that you will be personally responsible for all deficiencies – and all legal, collection, transportation, and storage expenses – associated with your delinquent account and/or abandoned items. In the event of resale, you agree to pay any cost associated with the resale as well as any deficiency between your original purchase price and the resale price. 4. Buyer’s Premium: The Bidder understands that each item up for auction will have a buyer’s premium of 10% added to the price of each item. When placing a bid please take the buyer’s premium into account and bid according. This means that if an item is sold at $100, the buyer’s premium would $10, and your total would be $110 (not including Michigan’s 6% sales tax). Buyers using a Credit Card will be added a 3.85% charge. If paying by Credit Card this means that if a item is sold at $100 your total would be $100 (item sold) + $10 (Buyers Premium) + $6.60 (6% Michigan State Tax) = $116.60 + $4.49 (4% charge by Credit Card Processor) = A Total of $120.49 5. Sales Tax: will be charged unless the buyer has provided a signed Sales Tax Resale. All buyers MUST email or provide their signed resale certificate prior to the end of the auction in person or emailed to: sales@allureestatesales.com or Sales Tax will be applied. No exceptions will be made. International buyers will be required to pay sales tax unless, the purchaser is eligible for a refund of such sales tax after presenting the Auctioneer with a signed bill of lading from a Licensed and Certified Shipping Company that is authorized and approved to ship exports into such Country and showing the Auction Item(s) have been successfully removed from the State of Michigan. Furthermore, the Bidder understands they are liable for payment of sales or use taxes which may become due for failure to comply with the provisions of Federal, State, and Local tax codes for any item(s) sold as tax exempt or for resale. The Bidder additionally understands that it is a criminal offense to give an exemption certificate to the seller for taxable items that the bidder knows is a taxable purchase at the time of purchase, and will be used in a manner other than that expressed in the certificate and depending on the amount of tax evaded, the offense may range from a Class C Misdemeanor to a Felony of the Second Degree. 6. Staggered Closing and Soft Closing: Allure Estate Sales uses staggered closing which means that lots close within 15 seconds of each other giving everyone a chance to view each item closing in real time. Example: If lot 1 closes at 7PM lot 2 will close at 7PM and 15 seconds. Lot 3 will close at 7PM and 30 seconds, Lot 4 will close at 7PM and 45 seconds and Lot 5 Will close at 7:01PM So on and So forth Allure Estate Sales also uses soft closing, which means if a Lot is bid on within the last 2 minutes the lot will be extended for a additional 3 minutes. This process will continue until no bids have been placed on said lot within the last 2 minutes of closing. Soft Closing prevents sniping and gives everyone a fair chance to bid again and win the lot they are bidding on. 7. Info Changes: The Bidder agrees to let the Allure Estate Sales know of any changes with their contact information or credit information as soon as the Bidder knows. 8. Bidding Errors and Software Malfunctions: In the event you have made an error bidding, the Bidder must contact the Auction Houses immediately. Allure Estate Sales will not assume any bid is an error.
