In Rainier Estates Auctions, All Sales Are Final. All bids are considered final. Everything is sold as-is, where-is. Please reach out with any questions or clarifications prior to bidding. No Reserve Prices; in all our online auctions, we don't use hidden "reserve prices"- the opening bid amount listed for each auction item is our reserve sale price (we feel this is more transparent for our auction participants). When the online auction closes, all winning bidders will be charged via Stripe for the full amount of their auction invoice (we will charge the payment method provided on the bidder's online auction profile).
All winning bidders must be prepared to pay additional shipping cost OR be available for pickup in Bellevue, WA (98005) or have someone who can come pick up on their behalf. Once the auction has closed for all items, all winners will receive an email communication with next steps.
Sales Tax: We charge sales tax to all purchases, which is 10%. If you are a re-seller and qualify for sales tax exemption, you are responsible for adding your reseller information to your bidding profile prior to bidding (after the auction has concluded, we cannot remove sales tax). The buyers premium is not subject to sales tax, only the final bid amount.
Pickups: All local pickups must occur between November 12-16 in Bellevue, WA 98005, and will be by appointment only. After the auction bidding for all items has closed on November 10th, a Rainier Estates representative will reach out to schedule a pickup appointment with all the winners. Once your pickup time has been confirmed, the full address in Bellevue, WA will be provided to you.
PLEASE come prepared for pickups with an appropriate vehicle, packing materials, any necessary tools, and moving assistance that you will require for your items.
Shipping: (If applicable) All shipping costs are additional to the bid price and will be added to the buyer's invoice (a receipt of the shipping cost can be provided, as requested). Unless you have a preferred shipping partner that you would like to schedule for an on-site pickup, our team utilizes UPS for packing and shipping services. We recommend providing the dimensions/value of the items you're considering to your local UPS store so they can assist you with estimating the cost of shipping from 98005 (Bellevue, WA) to your location. We cannot provide exact shipping estimates. We utilize professional packing/insurance services for shipment, and share the tracking number with the recipient once their package is sent.
