SHIPPING  We do not add any fees to your shipping. Sometimes, additional shipping, once your items are picked and packed, may apply. We do our best to weigh individual items, however when multiple items and sizes are mixed together, the amount is more than the initial amount paid. At that time, you will receive an email stating the cost of the additional amount due. 

Opening bids are generally set at manufacturer's original dealer cost, with no reserve and There is no "buyers' premium" added to your bid. You pay what you bid plus shipping. Local pickup is Available. You just need to select that option when making your payment.  Placing a Maximum bid is allowed, and Popcorn Bidding is enabled.

What is Popcorn Bidding? It is "overtime" essentially.  If someone is bidding against you,  and waits till the very end of the auction (ie. 1159am on closing day) to place their bid, You will receive a email giving you 2 min to up the bid. At that time, the Auction extends for those in the "bidding war". The other bidder will receive this message as well. This continues on until one bidder drops out.  * Sniper Bids are Not Allowed.
