Terms & Conditions

Beginning with Lot 1, lots will close in increments of three to six per minute, depending on the size of the auction, in numerical order, and until all lots have been closed. On the final day of the auction, a countdown timer will appear next to each Lot, displaying the exact number of bidding hours/minutes remaining before the Lot ends.

It’s important to refresh your screen often to get the most updated bidding information and time remaining.

If a bid is placed on an item within five minutes of its scheduled closing time, the bidding time for that lot is automatically extended by five minutes to allow all interested bidders the opportunity to continue to compete for that item.

This bidding feature places automatic bids on your behalf, up to the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the item. Your bid is only increased when another bidder places a bid higher than your current bid. If a bidder places a bid higher than your maximum bid, you will lose your position as the winning bidder. In these instances, the system stops placing bids on your behalf, and you are required to enter a new bid if you wish to continue competing for the item.

Note: This bidding feature is an efficient tool if you are managing multiple bids.

If you are outbid on an item, you will receive an immediate Outbid Notification email. These notifications keep you updated on the status of the bids you have placed.

Please review all bids carefully before submitting them. In the event a gross bidding error is made, please contact bill@bclauction.com immediately. We will review the circumstances to see if the bid may be reversed without affecting other participant’s bids on that item.

All assets will be open to a complete examination by all interested parties during the scheduled Public Inspection. The date, time, and location of the inspection will be posted for each auction. If you are uncertain of the condition or use of an item and are not able to attend the public inspection, please bid accordingly, as all sales are final.

Your credit card will automatically be charged for your purchase unless you email service@bclauction.com  by 6 AM following the close of the auction.

Please also see the Payment by Cash Requirements below.

It is very important that the credit card you register with is active and has available credit. Upon registration, our accounting department will verify your credit card. Bidders without a valid credit card on file will not be allowed to place bids. You may update your credit card on file by clicking the “Update Bidder Profile” option.

This is the industry standard fee that is added to the total purchase amount of your invoice. It is calculated as follows: Invoices paid by credit card are calculated with an 18% premium. Invoices paid by cash receive a 3% Discount, so the premium is calculated at 15%.

For example, if your purchase amount is $10, the total amount due for credit card buyers is $11.80 and the amount due for a Cash Buyer is $11.50.

For the convenience of our local customers, shuttle service is often offered. For a minimal fee, the BCL Auction team will transport your items to the BCL Warehouse to be picked up within five business days.

If this service is offered, it will be noted in the auction details.

To reserve space, please email your request to service@bclauction.com by 9 AM after the auction closes. Please include your name and the lot number(s) you need shuttled. We will reply with the cost and a request for your confirmation. Once confirmed, your credit card will be charged the quoted fee.

Please note: Within five business day, all items must be picked up from the BCL Warehouse between the hours of 9 AM-4 PM. Items that have not been retrieved within five business days will begin incurring storage fees.

All items are sold “AS IS” and “WHERE IS” with NO WARRANTY or guarantees of any kind expressed or implied. Descriptions are believed to be accurate, but are not guaranteed in terms of condition, authenticity, completeness, suitability, or merchantability of any kind.

Public Inspections are open to all interested parties for a complete examination of the assets.

All descriptions and photos are provided in good faith and are believed to be accurate but are not guaranteed. All deficiencies, when known, are posted in the product description. However, the absence of a described deficiency does not mean one does not exist. If you are uncertain of the condition or use of an item, please bid accordingly.

Refunds are not given for any reason, including but not limited to bidding errors, posting errors, or condition of items. It is your responsibility to carefully examine and verify measurements at the scheduled public inspection before placing any online bids.

Individuals are responsible for the expense incurred and all damages to the seller’s assets or property during the public inspection or item removal times. Bidder’s credit card on file will be charged for such damages.

The Seller may withdraw an item from an event prior to the auction closing. BCL takes every step necessary to prevent this from happening. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause; however, BCL assumes no liability or responsibility for decisions made by the Seller.

Both the auctioneer and seller reserve the right to add, remove, split, or combine lots presented, add minimum bids, change closing times, inspection times, removal times, and cancel, suspend, extend, or reschedule any individual item(s) and/or auction event.

Both auctioneer and seller’s liability shall be limited to the refund of the item’s purchase price. These terms and conditions cannot be altered except in writing by the auctioneer.
