\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We now require that bidders place a $25 Zelle\u00ae BIDPASS deposit with us to activate their login for bidding.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0A BIDPASS allows you to bid in all current auctions. It expires and your deposit is sent back when all current auctions end.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Runner-up bidders will know our auctions have ended when their Zelle\u00ae BIDPASS deposit is sent back to them.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0You must register and send a Zelle\u00ae BIDPASS deposit even if you have bid in previous Treasure Hunt Auctions. We don’t keep your information.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0You may cancel your registration anytime before placing a bid. Notify the Auctioneer by replying to your BIDPASS email and your Zelle\u00ae deposit will be sent back to you right away.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We chose Zelle\u00ae to use for our BIDPASS system because it agrees with our “No Fees” policy.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We run a fair deal and expect bidders to deal fairly with us:<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u25aa No Reserves
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u25aa No Buyer’s Premiums
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u25aa No Fees Of Any Kind<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We expect auction items to be removed without staff assistance.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Winners most often can pick up their item a day or two later.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Item removal requirements for each auction are always posted at the point of bidding.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Any other arrangements must be agreed to beforehand by calling 949-735-9084.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u25aa Autos: All taxes will be paid to the DMV at registration
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u25aa Other: Local sales tax will be added to your winning bid<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Winning bids are not official until full payment has been accepted. A notice will be posted online when the auction results become final.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Second-place bidders should be prepared to become the winner if the highest bidder forfeits for any reason, and so forth.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0As with all items sold at our estate sales:
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u25aa All sales are final with no returns or exchanges
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u25aa All items are sold as-is without warranty<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Each online Treasure Hunt auction is part of an in-person Treasure Hunt estate sale, and sometimes we require that winning bidders be present at the estate sale when that auction ends to remove their item that day.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Most often we accept Zelle\u00ae or other same-as-cash payments by phone from off-site winners at the close of auction and allow items to be picked up a day or two later.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Attendance and payment requirements for each auction are always posted at the point of bidding.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 The addresses of our estate sales are not made public online until 3-hours prior to opening. However, we offer private viewings of auction items to serious bidders by appointment only. Send a text to Andrea at 949-735-9084 to schedule.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Andrea is the on-site auction coordinator and she has the final authority over any and all issues which may arise. Please feel free to discuss any questions you may have with her in-person or by phone at 949-735-9084.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Our auctions are open to everyone willing to follow our rules and place a $25 Zelle\u00ae BIDPASS deposit with us during bidding.\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Each BIDPASS is only valid for currently active auctions and your deposit is sent back to you when all bidding ends.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Bidders will receive emails:
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u25aa When their BIDPASS is activated
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u25aa confirming their bids
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u25aa if their maximum bid is Outbid
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u25aa upon Winning the auction
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u25aa When their expired BIDPASS Zelle\u00ae deposit is sent back<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Registered non-bidders receive only BIDPASS email alerts.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0These are automated, eBay-style auctions, so you may enter a maximum bid. When you do, your entry bid will be the least amount necessary to become the leading bidder, and will be automatically incremented as necessary by new bidding until your maximum is outbid or it becomes the winning bid.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0You may increase your maximum bid anytime you wish.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Minimum bid increases are $100 unless posted otherwise at the point of bidding.<\/p>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 Bids cannot be withdrawn.<\/p>\r\n
Examples<\/i><\/u>:
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u25aa You place a maximum bid of $15,000 on a car with a current bid of $11,100. Your entry bid would be $11,200 and if other bidding continues up to $12,500 your winning bid would be $12,600 at the end of the auction.
\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \u25aa You bid $6,000 on an item with a $5,000 starting bid. If there is no other bidding, your winning bid would be $5,000.<\/p>\r\nTie Bids<\/h3>\r\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Whenever two bids are placed for the same amount, the earlier bid will be given priority.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0If the earlier bidder forfeits for any reason, the latter bid will then be accepted.<\/p>\r\n
Example<\/i><\/u>:
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u25aa You place a maximum bid of $3,300 on a car with a current bid of $3,200.\u00a0 Your bid is then replaced by a different $3,300 bid.\u00a0 This is because the other bidder placed an earlier $3,300 maximum bid originally, and tie bids are accepted in the order they are received.
As mentioned earlier, your tie bid would become the winning bid if the earlier bidder forfeits for any reason.<\/p>\r\n
