By registering and bidding you agree that you have read and fully understand the “Online Auction Terms and Conditions” and any additional terms, conditions or announcements for specific auctions such as locations, dates, buyer’s premiums, pick-up instructions, etc.
- Credit Card provider: Orlando Auctions uses STRIPE Credit Card Processing.
- Sold As-Is: Most Items sold here are Estate Sale items! All Bidders must acknowledge that unless otherwise stated most items on Orlando Auctions are in used condition. Minor flaws should be expected. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. All items are sold as-is with NO warranty of any type expressed or implied as to the condition, completeness, functionality, or fitness for any items offered in this sale. Obvious flaws will be noted in the description and/or shown in the photos. Any absence of flaws doesn't mean that items are in perfect condition. If in doubt, please ask for more photos or a private viewing before bidding. Most of the items in this auction are previously used an d by no means should bidders expect to see perfection. All sales are final. No refunds, reductions, returns or exchanges! NO EXCEPTIONS! Removal is at the Buyer's sole obligation, risk and expense. No sale will be invalidated by reason of buyers remorse, condition, or defects. The Buyer will accept the items or lots as is regardless of known or unknown, visible or not visible, flaws or defects.
- Pick- ups & Late Pick-ups: Each auction will have specific pickup dates and times assigned- ANY ITEMS NOT PICKED UP WILL BE CONSIDERED ABANDONED AND FORFEITED WITH NO REFUNDS IF WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOU BY THE END OF THE PICK-UP WINDOW. If you cannot pick up your item at the designated time, please confirm an alternate time and date with us before bidding. We move from home to home and cannot store items after the closing of the auction. Occasionally we can hold an item upon request, but cannot hold items that have not been paid for.
- Non-Payment: This is not an eBay type situation where unpaid items can be re-listed, this is an estate sale where we have one shot to sell the items. If you bid and win items, and then walk away, you are not only preventing others from having the item who may have really wanted it, but you are also stealing from the estate since the items are left unpaid for AND create an additional expense we must pay to the clean out crew. Registering for and account and bidding on this website affirms that you have read, understood, agree, and acknowledge that all bids placed are legally binding contracts between the winner (highest bidder) and the Auction Company. Any non-payment of items won by highest bidders is in violation of our terms and conditions. If winning bidders have not made any attempt to reach out and communicate, we will charge your card on file. Orlando Auctions will take action if credit card is declined and will send your information to collections and/or file for court proceedings.
***Please do not bid on items if there is a chance you will not follow through after the auction ends.***
