ITEM DESCRIPTIONS: The descriptions of items or lots appearing in the auction and in advertising are believed to be correct, however, BlitzBidz or BlitzBidz.com or the Seller of the goods do not do a complete and thorough inspection of any item and therefore items are sold as-is where is.  All lots are sold with all faults, imperfections and errors of description.

ITEMS AND LOTS ARE SOLD AS IS - WHERE IS and WITH ALL FAULTS. Bidder acknowledges caveat emptor and Owner/Seller strongly encouraged Bidder to carefully inspect each item or lot to determine the nature, quality, condition, quantity and size of the item or lot. Bidders must rely solely on personal inspection and not on information listed on the Site or otherwise provided by BlitzBidz or BlitzBidz.com or Owner/Seller.

Your bid further indicates that you, as the Bidder, are prepared to purchase items under these terms and conditions.


MAXIMUM BID: When you bid your maximum bid, the current bid price does not automatically advance to your maximum bid unless a previous higher bid has already been placed. Another bidder has to bid to increase the current price and the computer, auctioneer, proxy or staff member will automatically bid up to your maximum, if necessary, in the increments specified.


ONLINE BIDDING AUTO EXTEND FEATURE: If an auction receives a bid in the last three minutes, the ending time for that auction will automatically be extended by three minutes and can continue indefinitely. Once three minutes have passed without any bidding, the item will close to additional bidding.

ITEMS OFFERED: All Goods Are Offered for Auction Online Only. All items/lots/property also known as "Good's" are sold "As Is, Where Is" without any warranty or guarantee, either expressed or implied by the seller, auctioneer, auction company or its agents.

Your bid is a contract to purchase goods offered and all sales are final. No Adjustments to Price or Refunds Will Be Given.


AUCTION WITH RESERVE: BlitzBidz or BlitzBidz.com may conduct auctions with reserve prices. Per Uniform Commercial Code, an auction "with reserve" is one in which the seller or his agent reserves the right to establish a minimum bid, accept or reject any and/or all bids, and withdraw the property at any time prior to the announcement of the completion of the sale by the auctioneer. Sellers reserve the right to bid on all auctions. Auctioneers and their employees reserve the right to bid on their own, or the Seller's behalf. Reserve prices on certain items may or may not be revealed before or after the offer of the item for sale at auction.


SHIPPING: In auctions where shipping is an option and is arranged by the Seller or BlitzBidz or BlitzBidz.com, shipping will be charged at the commercial shipping rate of USPS, FedEx or UPS, plus any applicable handling fees. Whichever shipment provider offers the most cost effective, efficient and safest way to ship goods to the buyer will be utilized. All shipments, over $50.00, will be insured in the amount of the total hammer price of item(s) won. An adult signature may be required for receipt of all shipments. Any damage and/or claims must be made through the third party shipper. If additional insurance is desired, please contact us within 24 hours of the close of the lot/end of the auction.

BlitzBidz or BlitzBidz.com reserves the right, for any reason, in its sole discretion, to terminate, change or suspend any aspect of the auction sale.


DISPUTE BETWEEN BIDDERS: The final high bidder shall be designated at the end of each item or lot by a soft close and through online computer automation.

BUYER'S PREMIUM and TAX: Unless a specific auction states otherwise, a buyer's premium and sales tax will be charged on all items and lots. Every bidder pays the same buyer's premium and should bid accordingly. For example, if the premium is 13% and you bid $100.00 on an item at the auction you will be charged $113.00 for the item on your auction invoice, and then a local tax rate will be calculated on the total sales price.  For example, a tax rate of 8.75%, on a $100.00 item bought at auction will be assessed an 13% buyer’s premium, a tax rate of 8.75% on $100.00 for a total final sales price of $121.75.
