Shipping Details:
We ship worldwide.
Minimum S/H is $50.00 per order in the US, and $70.00 per order International, so make your orders worth it. Packing and shipping of larger items and orders will be calculated upon invoice. We do combine S/H within single Auctions so bid away. Insurance is optional but we highly recommend it.
Payment Details:
Invoices are sent out within 24 hours of auction end. Your invoice is due immediately but all orders must be paid by 3rd invoice or "Wednesday Latest".
I ask up to 30 days to ship items, or prior to the next monthly auction, but the sooner you pay, the faster you will receive your items. Usually about 2 weeks.
Lots not paid for by "Wednesday after Auction" are open to other offers, or being relisted. Once a lot is relisted, payment will no longer be accepted from winner. At that point it is considered a new deal.
1] Cash upon pick up is most preferred. No shipping costs, and no risk of damage. Winning bidders can make an appointment to pick up their wins. Local delivery within Southern California is an option but items and delivery must be paid in full prior to delivery.
2] Cashier Checks, Postal and other Money Orders, and Personal Checks must be made out to David Brandon, and must wait to clear company accounts before shipping. Depending on how much, and where it comes from, this could take up to 10 days. International Money Orders may take a bit longer to clear. The date the payment clears is the official date paid.
3] Paypal payments will be processed in real time, and shipped out within 30 business days as stated above. We believe you can use credit cards through Paypal, but we do not have the equipment at this time to accept them directly.
4] Other electronic methods of payment such as Western Union, Money Gram, etc are also welcome, but mention them prior to bidding.
5] I am open to a few payments on orders over $3,000.00 unless they contain any consignments. Winning bidder to pay half up front, and we will split the other half into 3 monthly payments. If you need an alternate plan, ask first before bidding. Any payments made toward a payment plan are non refundable, so be sure up front!

PROPDOMAIN AUCTIONS does not make profit from this buyer's premium, which is amongst the lowest in the industry. It is assessed to help cover overhead. A few examples of such are Auction Fees and percentages paid to Icollector, Paypal and credit card fees, Catalog and Advertisement costs.
Picking up items in person, and paying in cash saves you money, Saves us time, and weeds out the possibility of any damage incurred during shipping.

CA residents will pay 8.75% unless a tax exempt form is on file at time of auction and an original valid resale permit filed at time of registration with a copy for our records from the California State Board of Equalization..

Items not paid for within 3 business days [AKA the following Wednesday] are subject to being resold to another party or being re-listed in the next auction. Either is at our sole discretion. So seal the deal up, and pay on time for must haves.
Any Deadbeat Bidders will be blacklisted from future auctions.
Acceptable forms of payment are Paypal, through which you can use Visa, Master card, American Express, Discover, Checks (with bank letter of guarantee), Cash (Pick up Only) and PayPal but under the express condition that any property purchased by credit or debit card shall not be refundable, returnable, or exchangeable, and that no credit to Buyer’s credit or debit card account will be issued under any circumstances.
