Storage Fee charged weekly -FEE
Why are YOU paying a storage fee? it's not as if your items
forced the auctioneer to purchase additional storage space?
Storage is just a part of their business. They need to maintain
storage space just to stay in business. |
Your item is not being STORED, it's being SOLD!
No Storage Fees, ever while item is on sale -FREE |

Insurance Fee (up to 5%) -FEE
Many auctioneers actually make money off their "insurance
fee". If you have $30,000 of insured items each
week, that's over $1,000/week in "fees". Yet they
only need to keep $50,000 insurance coverage per year, and this
costs only a few thousand dollars/year. |
We take care of our customer's stock, and it is covered in
our standard store coverage for theft, damage, & fire.
Insurance is included - FREE
