NOTE – GUIDELINES FOR MERCHANDISE HAVE BEEN EXPANDED
& REVISED.  
               PLEASE PICK UP A REVISED COPY FOR YOUR REFERENCE.

GUIDELINES – WHAT DOES NOT SELL & WHAT WE WON’T ACCEPT

 

In an effort to maintain the quality of merchandise for our buyers and to maximize your return, appointments are now necessary for merchandise drop-off. Based upon our experience, we have found that the following items do not warrant the time of transporting or the effort to sell at auction.  Therefore, we do not accept them for auction.  Please note that this is a guideline only and is not a complete list.  The obvious exception is if the item has value as an antique or collectible.  We have also listed other general exceptions for certain items.  Please feel free to call us if you have any questions about an item.

 

Please Note – We no longer are able to accept Yard Sale or Flea Market left-overs, Dealer Inventory Reduction items, or items with handwritten price tags/ stickers on them.
