Terms

BIG BIDZ

AGREEMENT TO TERMS: By bidding in the auction, you agree to all terms and conditions of the auction.

ALL ITEMS SELL AS-IS WHERE- IS WITH ALL FAULTS & FLAWS: Items sell with no warranty stated or implied. Items have not been tested by the auction company unless it is stated in the item description.  An item listed as "runs and drives" only means the item's engine started and drove forward and backward on our yard and was not tested by our company in an extensive manor.  If there are obvious mechanical flaws we may point them out if we see them, but we do not test every function of every item.  Bidders are strongly encouraged to come and test the items themselves.

BUYER PREMIUM: There is no buyer premium.

PAYMENT: Invoices are due within 7 days of sale date accepted at our office/auction yard Monday-Friday 8:00AM-5:00PM.
We accept CASH, CHECK, and ACH with no fees. We only accept CREDIT CARD  on invoices less than $3,000 (3% additional fee). We also accept Wire Transfers ($20 additional fee). Any payment not received within 7 Days will be subject to a $25 late fee per day.

Big Bidz will Deduct all sale Charges from proceeds before making payment to seller.

 

A minimum Auction charge of $150/consigner will be charged to seller as a consigning fee.

 

Payment will not be made to seller until payment is received and cleared from buyer

 

Nebraska sales tax of 5.5% will be added to your invoice. If the item is in a county or city with additional tax, that will be applied. If you are claiming an exemption from sales tax for Ag or Resale, please complete a Nebraska Form 13 unless the auction company has one on file. This form is available on the Equipment Auction Page under "Documents".

All sales are final. Absolutely no refunds. You are contractually obligated to pay for your items. You will be liable for damages and expenses for collecting payment if legal means are needed.

LOADING:  Paid in Full Invoice Must be shown to seller before item is allowed to leave. Big Bidz is not responsible for any items that were loaded without a paid in full invoice shown to seller. Items that are located at the seller's location are to be removed in 14 days from the auction. Storage of $25 per day starts on the 22nd day which is payable to the seller directly. At 60 days, the item will revert ownership back to the seller with no proceeds or refunds given to the buyer. 

INSPECTION: All items are available for inspection ahead of the auction. Please contact the seller of that item to setup an appointment to view. The seller’s contact information is posted on each lot. It is 100% the buyers sole responsibility to inspect items, determine condition, and to bid accordingly.

STAGGERED CLOSING: Auction uses a soft close bidding feature to create a live auction atmosphere. Any bids placed within the last 3 minutes will reset the clock on that item to 3 minutes. This will continue until there are no bids placed inside the last the 3 minutes of the item. All lots are spaced 20 seconds apart so all items will close over a period of time.

GROUPED LOTS: Similar items may be in group close. This means they will close at the same time and they will extend if any of those lots receive a bid. The chain link symbol in the lower left hand corner of the grey screen will denote if that lot is in a grouped lot.

NONPAYING BIDDERS: We will ban you from participating in any of our online & live auctions indefinitely. IF DON'T INTEND ON FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH YOUR PURCHASE, DO NOT BID. Also if we must resell the item, you will be liable for any difference in price if sold for less than original auction. If the auction company pursues legal action against the non-paying bidder, all legal expenses of the auction company will be paid for by the buyer.

CATALOG DISCREPANCIES: You are bidding on the described item not the picture. Descriptions are believed to be accurate but not guaranteed. When you are not certain of the condition or use of an item, please bid accordingly. Please let us know if there is an error. All sales are final, no refunds. It is the buyers sole responsibility to determine condition of the item.
