Bread Box Transportation to GG Antiques located at (7500 East Main Street Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068, Gary 614-868-3626) may be available on items purchased in this catalog, (You must notify the auction manager to make sure Bread Box is offered on this auction), if the items are paid for by phone (along with applicable charges) within the pick up times posted. (Please see 'BREAD BOX DEFINITIONS AND FEES', below for pricing and sizing). The window of time to pick up your items if 'Bread Boxed' is 7 days. After 7 days, items not picked up will be considered abandoned and resold or disposed of.

BREAD BOX DEFINITION AND FEES: A fee of $5 Dollars can be assessed to your invoice for each 'Bread Box' sized item or group of items that may be brought back to our main warehouse ( GG Antiques ). This fee is estimated by the size of the old standard of measure, a 'bread box'. Larger items are impossible, but if it will fit into a 'bread box or smaller, or at least in a front seat of a car (multiple bread box's,) we can bring it back with us (please allow 24 hours for processing). The estimate is in the opinion of the Cashier or the Auction Manager. The actual size of a bread Box is 16" x 10" x 7", but it is up to our opinion to gauge the size of your purchase.. Examples; (How many 'bread boxes' is a lamp?) maybe two. A watch, a purse, 3 rings, 3 fishing lures and a contractors hard hat?.. All together, its only one breadbox.) If we agree to transport a slightly larger item, the fee would be multiplied by how many bread boxes would fit into that item (or vise-verse). NOTE: Bread Box items will only be transported if items are paid-in-full with a credit card before the end of the described pick-up time.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Please see the individual catalog or call the Auction Manager for the availability of this service, prior to purchase.

OVERVIEW: (How the Online Auction Works/How to Bid): Our system is affectionately named Max. Max will tell you what the Current Bid is, accept your bid as the next increment, or accept you highest Max Bid, and execute your Max Bid by proxy, (only as competing bids come in, if any), kind of like an absentee vote. If you have made an error in typing your bid, call us immediately and we can fix it, prior to 24 hours of the ending time. No modifications to the bid price can be made after the auction. Max will promptly close (end) the bid on items in the first nano-second of each 1 minute from the posted “Ending Time”. If 2 bidders go at it in the last 5 minutes, Max will extend that auction (on that item) for another 5 minutes. Max has seen “snipers” go at each other for hours, it’s all right if that’s your method. The real Auction Staff would prefer to see you bid a high number and let Max work for you, he is on your side, and will keep your Max Bid a secret.

Max Notes: Other items will continue to end every 1 minute, even if there is a heated battle going on behind the ending items. Don’t ‘rubber neck’ you may miss out on the upcoming merchandise. Please pay attention to the order and speed of items selling. The Management cannot be held responsible for glitches or delays.

Max Notes: No “outbid notices” will be sent during the final hours of the auction. Prior to that, Max will nudge you with an email and encourage you to bid again in the event you have been outbid. You would simply return to the auction page and enter the next increment, or in a sign of strength, show your vigor & intent by raising the bar by leaving a “High Bid”. Utilize the “Review Bids” button to quickly see the items you are bidding on, and the status thereof. At the end of the auction, if you are watching, you will see what items you were successful on. Otherwise Max will be cleaning up both the digital confetti from the celebrations and the electronic tears that come with not winning. Max will send an email to all the winning bidders usually the night the auction ends but could be as late as the morning after the auction. Check your email! If you feel Max has dropped the ball, feel free to follow up, better safe than uncertain. That email will also reiterate the time of pick up and the address.

Max Notes: Bring your emailed invoice, your Drivers license, Cash or Credit Card with you during the described hours for “Pick Up”. Oh, and if we don’t know you, an ID may be necessary, so we can make sure the items are going to the winner with the best bids. Simply put, if you can’t pick-up the items on the assigned times, don’t bid. All participating bidders electronically agree to enter a contract agreeing to all terms present and to pay for items bid upon and won. Payment is due during the advertised time frame on each auction. Failure to pay may result in an individual being banned from future auctions. This information could be shared with other Online Auctions within Central Ohio.

The Management retains the right to end, delay or extend the length of an auction or the time and location of pick-up, for any reason. In addition, any item may be removed from the catalog at anytime. The management reserves the right to refuse sale at any time before payment is made and therefore title and ownership is transferred. The item being marked 'sold' or the issuance of an invoice requesting payment, does not supersede/over ride The Managements right Not to Sell, Complete or Cancel the sale of such item(s).

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS: The bidder that has not paid for, or has not removed their items from the auction site, will be subject to The Managements forwarded cost of storage, trucking, re-sale, deficiency balances (like a repossessed car), collection fees (third party), and any legal fees for recouping a loss due to the bidder’s negligence.
