Questions

Auction FAQs

Do I need to be local to bid?

No — anyone can bid online. Winning bidders can schedule pickup in Aurora, IL or request shipping on most lots.

Are auction items new or used?

Most lots are retail returns or overstock — they may have been opened, returned, or display units. Condition varies by lot; every listing includes detailed photos and a condition report. Most items are tested unless the listing explicitly says "untested."

Can items be shipped?

Most lots are eligible for nationwide shipping. Shipping costs are calculated after the auction closes. A small number of oversized items are pickup-only — the listing will say so.

What happens if I win?

You'll receive an email and text message with instructions to schedule pickup or arrange shipping. Your card is charged automatically.
