Taiyo Martini Rossi Porsche (loose switch) plus Corgi Fighting Machines

An Online Only Bidding Event, there is no live bidding.

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.

Item Condition: Everything is sold "As-Is." We do not authenticate or guarantee any item. Typically, we lay items out on a table and take a few photos for reference. We do not extensively inspect for damage or missing parts. If an item is listed as "tested ok," it means it passed basic functionality tests but not full testing. Otherwise, assume items have not been tested in any capacity.

Payment, Fees, and Taxes:

• • There is a 5% Buyer's Premium fee added to all bills paid with a credit card, this fee is WAIVED FOR CASH payments.

  • 6% Sales Tax will be collected where applicable. 

Shipping: Please note that we do not offer in-house shipping; most items are for local pickup only, call before registering and/or bidding as much higher than industry standard handling charges applied for any item requiring delivery to a pack and ship store.
