This auction is shipping only; no local pickup is available. All fulfillment is handled in-house. A single flat shipping and handling fee of $20 will be applied per invoice, regardless of the number of lots won. Your payment method on file will be charged automatically at the close of the auction for the merchandise total, and a separate automatic charge for shipping will process 3–5 days later.
If you are sales tax exempt, you must complete the exemption process and upload your certificate through the AuctionNinja platform prior to bidding. AuctionNinja does not permit tax-exempt treatment without that verification in place.

If items are "returned to sender", we will attempt to contact you to arrange alternative shipping. After three attempts, your items will be considered forfeited without refund.
We make every effort to provide accurate descriptions and clear photographs; however, all property is sold as is, and no sale will be invalidated due to errors or omissions in descriptions or images. Items represented as sterling silver or gold are either hallmarked accordingly or acid-tested. Stone identification—including whether stones are natural, lab-created, enhanced, or otherwise—cannot be guaranteed.
