Premier Gallery Auction

Pickup/payment is Monday Jan 17 from 11 am to 7 pm and Tuesday Jan 18 from Noon to 4 pm at our facility at 2795 Columbus-Lancaster Rd. NW, Lancaster, OH 43130. You can pay via cash or card at this time. You can also pay by clicking the "pay now" button on your invoice. If you want to come a different day to pick up, we'll charge your card after the sale and charge you $5/lot to come a different day. You must come within 14 days of the sale or you will forfeit your lot(s). We also provide in-house shipping on most items. If you are not local and don't come pick up, we'll assume you are shipping and you will get updates from us on shipping progress via email and text, and once packed will receive a text and email with your shipping invoice. We will then send tracking and additional updates. Shipping questions: shipping@burnsbid.com Payment via credit card with the bid platform's payment system (you click "pay now" on your invoice) or you can pay cash in person when you pick up. We have switched to the bid platform's in-house payment system, so if you are paying by card, do so via your invoice's "PAY NOW" button. We are collecting sales tax on all buyers. If you are tax exempt - make sure the bid platform has your tax exempt info. If we are shipping - you will get updates from us on shipping progress via email and text, and once packed will receive a text and email with your shipping invoice. We will then send tracking and additional updates. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL OR BUSINESS CHECKS. Because of mounting card fraud, we do not accept card payments on total invoices (including buyer's premium) exceeding $2,500. If your invoice is more than $2,500, you can use the bid platform's payment system to pay via ACH (it takes 5-7 days to come through) or if coming in person please bring cash or a cashier's check. For vehicles we only take cash, cashier's checks, ACH or wire transfer. Shipping questions: shipping@burnsbid.com. We now ship in house. By bidding and not picking up, you agree to allow Burns Auction to pack and mail your winning items to you, and authorize us to charge your card for shipping and handling. This is assuming our in-house shipping is available. Each lot description says if we will ship or if we must take it to our freight partner. We often charge a small fee to bring from the estate to our facility for shipping, or a much larger fee to transport large items to our freighter. If shipping is not paid within 14 days after we invoice you for it then we will file a non-paying bidder complaint against you and you will forfeit your lot. We use a program called Shipping Saint to manage our shipping. This system will send you updates such as when we move your purchase to our shipping department, and will send you an invoice once your order is packed. Once you pay the invoice we will ship your package, and Shipping Saint will send you tracking details. Shipping Saint will also have you confirm your address with them before we ship, to ensure it goes to the right location. If lost or damaged - we will have you make an insurance claim through Shipping Saint. We run shipping like a separate business. We charge for boxes, packing labor, packing material and ups shipping and add a 30 percent overall mark up on all of it. We don't accept outside labels. We DO pack well. Our in-house shipping cost is pretty reasonable on most things - and is MUCH less than alternatives like the UPS store, which often does not pack well. We get very few complaints about what is charged. But be warned: large, fragile and/or heavy orders are expensive to ship no matter who you use. We ship in-house because we can promise our buyers streamlined, easy and reliable shipping with very little breakage. If all this isn't OK with you, please arrange for an outside shipper to pick up your items within 14 days of the auction, or you will forfeit your purchase. Shipping questions: shipping@burnsbid.com. You must pick up during the set pickup hours or within 14 days of the sale ($5 fee per lot if not picked up on pickup day). If not picked up or shipped you will forfeit your items. If shipping is available you can also have your items shipped! Bring people to help you. If you buy a lot, bring a crew so you can get everything out of the home on time.

WE SELL AN ENORMOUS QUANTITY OF USED, OLD ESTATE ITEMS EACH DAY, WEEK MONTH AND YEAR AND THESE POLICIES ARE IN PLACE BECAUSE WE SIMPLY CANNOT KNOW THE EXACT CONDITION AND DISPOSITION OF EVERYTHING WE SELL, HOWEVER WE WILL TRY OUR BEST TO DETERMINE IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THE CONDITION OF ITEMS WE SELL. THANK YOU! FIREARM PURCHASES: We are an FFL. We are accepting consignments of firearms at this time. If you buy a firearm and are picking up (Ohio Residents Only), you will need to complete an FFL Form 4473 and pass the background check. If we are shipping, we will ship to FFLs only. These restrictions apply to firearms dating from 1898 and onward. Pre 1898 firearms are not classified as firearms and can be handed out and shipped freely. The person picking up must be the person whose name is in the bidder registration. Diamond weights for stones in setting are approximate and are given based on measurements. Loose diamonds are weighed on a diamond scale. Statements of diamond clarity and color are also approximate, and are given to the best of our ability. Burns Auction & Appraisal is not certified as a GIA gemologist. When GIA or other reports are available on diamonds, they are given in item descriptions. You don't have to take the entire lot of contents when you buy. Just take what you want. However, any dumping on or near (or anywhere else for that matter) the auction property is strictly prohibited. If you take items and then dispose of them illegally or near the auction grounds we will charge your card a disposal fee of $200 and file a police report if necessary. The absence of a condition report on a lot does not mean the lot is perfect or free of any defects. We encourage all potential bidders to email adrian@burnsbid.com or to call 614-271-3014 ext. 5 PRIOR to bidding to ask specific condition questions on a given lot. By bidding in our auctions you agree to abide by and to follow all of the above terms.
