An Online Only Bidding Event, there is no live bidding.
No Shipping is Available. We will not release coins to a 3rd party shipper, you (the registered bidder) are to physically pick up all purchases.
Bidding Registration: We manually approve all new bidders, which may result in a delay, possibly of several hours, between registration and your ability to place bids, especially for registrations made overnight or on weekends. The "approval" simply means that your credit card address matches your billing address, that you are a local bidder, and that you haven't previously lost your bidding privileges for non-payment / not picking items up from a previous sale.
Registration Confirmation: On occasion, we may reach out with a phone call before final approval. If you're registering with an address that's more than 2 hours or so drive away, please call us to confirm your ability to pick up items and you acknowledge that we generally do not ship.
Note about Yahoo / AOL Email Addresses: Please be aware that if you use an @yahoo.com or @AOL email address, you may not receive the outbid notifications and your invoice. Sometimes, Yahoo doesn't even send these to your spam folder; they simply do not deliver them. AOL usually sends into your Spam folder. Emails about upcoming auctions come from a different server and usually arrive as expected.
