REGISTRATION and PLACING A BID

Each prospective bidder must first register as a 405bids.com user to place a bid on an item.  By placing a bid, the bidder agrees to these Terms and Conditions.  Before placing bids, please review all auction details before submission, as 405bids.com will not edit or delete bids after they have been submitted.

AUCTION ENDING and EXTENSIONS
405bids.com utilizes a staggered auction closing on all items listed.  This means that each item will close 60 seconds before the next item.  An item’s closing time may be extended if a bid is placed within 5 minutes from the time of its closing.  The length of the extension will be 30 seconds from the point at which the bid was made.  Each time a bid is placed within this “extension period," the auction will automatically extend an additional 30 seconds.  This is designed and utilized to prevent what is commonly known as "sniping," which is the act of attempting to "steal" an item within the closing seconds of an auction.

PAYMENTS
All winning bids will include a 15% buyer's premium and a lot fee.  After an auction has ended, the Purchaser's credit card(s) on file will be charged and a "paid in full" invoice will be sent via email. Accepted forms of payment include Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. Credit cards will be charged within the next business day unless otherwise specified under auction details.  Bidders must have available funds on their credit card, or bidder will incur a loss of bidding privileges (see below).

ITEM PICKUP
All winning bidders must pick up their items during the scheduled "Pick-up Hours."  At that time, the winning bidder must present a "Paid" invoice, either printed or electronically, that shows the items have been paid in full.  A valid driver’s license is also required.  License numbers will be recorded and associated with the winning bidder’s 405bids.com account, for future reference.  If unable to make the scheduled pickup day/time, it is the bidder's responsibility to send someone on their behalf with a valid driver's license and an invoice showing a paid in full status.  Any items that are not picked up at the scheduled time, will be considered abandoned, and are subject to relisting without a refund at the discretion of 405bids.com. 

Please review that you have received all your items before leaving the location. In the event of a missing item, the bidder must notify the staff prior to leaving pick up. No missing items will be eligible for refund once the bidder has left the premises.

LOSS OF BIDDING PRIVILEGES 
If a bidder’s credit card on file is declined, bidding privileges may be revoked.
