TERMS and CONDITIONS:
PORT CITY AUCTIONS is an estate, auction, business liquidation and realty company licensed in N.C., S.C. and VA.
We are located at 3911 Market Street, Wilmington, N.C. 28403
By registering for this auction, you agree to the terms and conditions as stated:
1. PORT CITY AUCTIONS strives to accurately describe the items being sold. All property offered for sale is strictly AS-IS WHERE-IS with all faults. All sales are final, no refunds are given. The sales records and recordings shall be conclusive.
It is the responsibility of the bidder to determine the exact condition and authenticity of each item. No statement in this auction or by representatives of Port City Auctions shall be considered as a warranty or assumption of liability. Oral and written descriptions given by its staff members in person or electronically are given as a courtesy to a client, are only an opinion, and should not be considered as a guarantee of age, composition, or authenticity.
The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear or imperfections. A good condition report considers age and use of item with appropriate wear.
By bidding, you signify that you have either closely examined the items, have chosen not to examine them, or have hired an independent agent to examine the item(s) for you.
2. The AUCTIONEER reserves the right to withdraw a lot for any reason deemed appropriate, including any lots that may have a reserve, or if there is a lack of bidding interest or lack of appropriate bids. Port City Auctions shall always have the right to withdraw any item at any time for any reason and to default any sale in the event of an error or dispute.
3. Buyer’s premium is determined by auction and can range for on-line bidding. The Buyer's Premium will be posted for each online auction. There is no discount offered for Internet bidding. Fees charged by Internet platforms are the bidder's responsibility.
4. A valid Credit Card is required for bidding approval by HiBid. Please register with the credit card you will be using for auction purchases. HiBid will authenticate the credit card by verifying a $1.00 charge, applied to your credit card. The $1.00 is not charged to your credit card; it is to ensure the credit card you have on file is valid.
Credit card payments are preferred during this time. Any changes to the credit card number on file must be done through HiBid Customer Support at (352) 414-1947.
Bidders paying by credit card will be both notified by email and provided a paid in full invoice. No items will be released from the auction site without a valid paid invoice.
If payment is declined, Port City Auctions will file a non-paying bidder complaint with HiBid and resell the items. Defaulted bidders will be black-flagged in our database as a non-paying bidder. We reserve the right to sell to the next highest qualified Bidder and/or Buyer in the event the successful high Bidder and/or Buyer do not comply with the terms of the sale. By bidding on the items in the auction, the Buyer agrees to all terms and conditions set forth.
