Bidding has started and Soft Closes 6 PM Central, Tuesday, January 9th!

Soft Close: This is a soft close auction meaning two key points: 1) all items feature a stagger of 10 seconds between each lot ending. 6 items will close each minute 2) If an item is bid on within the last 1 Minute of the auction, the lot will automatically get extended for an additional Minute. The Countdown Timer will Continue to be reset to 1 minute until no additional bids have been placed.

Automatic Bidding: (Max Bid Feature): This online bidding option makes bidding convenient allowing you to enter the maximum bid amount that you are willing to bid on an item. We encourage the use of this feature as it automatically competitively increases your bid for you up to your max bid price. No more forgetting to increase your bids -or- trying to keep pace with our online auctions. Simply Place Once Bid And we’ll take care of the rest!

Payment Terms: Cash, Check, American Express, Visa & MasterCard. 14% Buyer’s Premium on all items sold (4% discount will be given if payment is made by cash or good check).

Declined Credit Card Procedure: If the credit card on file is declined for any reason, a Parrott Auction crew member/representative will reach out to settle the outstanding invoice. If the buyer fails to pay the said invoice, the buyer(s) will be permanently banned until the $25 reinstatement fee is paid, plus pay the remaining invoice.

Insufficient Funds Procedure: If a check is returned for any reason at all, a Parrott Auction crew member/representative will reach out to settle the outstanding invoice. If the buyer fails to pay the said invoice, the buyer(s) will be permanently banned until the $25 reinstatement fee is paid.

Absentee Bidder Form: Another bidding option is to attend one of the scheduled preview dates and complete our absentee bidder form, name, address, contact information, max bid you’re willing to place, along with credit card information will be required when completing this form. Please Note: There will be a $25 dollar charge for this service. This $25 fee covers the labor to fill out the absentee bidder form, register bidders, place bids, plus call you after the auction is over. Also, this is MAX bid only, we will not call you to update you on winning/outbid status. If you change your max bid, a second form and a second $25 charge will be required immediately. This is to discourage people from making 6 updated max bids via phone immediately prior to auction close.

Preview: Parrott Auction Crew Members/representatives will be at the auction location of: 8894 Rosebud Ave., Lawrenceville, IL 62439, to administer a preview on:

Monday, January 8th, 4 - 6 PM Central, (the “Preview Date”).

Invoice: All winning bidders will have an invoice emailed to the email address on file usually within 30 minutes of the last item closing. A second email (pickup scheduler) will be sent that will include instructions for the pickup date, time, and location. Please Note: this invoice will show “UNPAID” in the upper right-hand corner, if you intend to pay with cash or check, do not pay using our online payment system.

Please Use the Online Scheduler!

This increases the efficiency of the auction load out and decreases the amount of time you'll spend loading your items! Online Schedule Instructions: The morning after the auction closes we will send a load-out scheduler to all the winning bidders. This scheduler system will supply any remaining time slots to the winning bidders.

Scheduling can be completed by text message and email both to allow for ultimate flexibility to you, the buyer.

If you do not choose a time slot, load-outs will be on a first-come, first-served basis and you may be asked to wait until an auction crew member can assist with the load-out process.

Removal / Load Out: Parrott Auction Crew Members/representatives will be at the auction location of: 8894 Rosebud Ave., Lawrenceville, IL 62439, to administer Load Out on: Thursday, January 11th, 12 - 6 PM Central, (the “Removal Dates”). Signs posted. The address can be found by GPS as well. No Goods shall be removed until the purchaser’s invoice has been paid in full.

Sending of Another Person: If you are unavailable during this scheduled pickup, a family member, close friend, or co-worker can pick the items up for you if we are notified prior.

Failure to Pickup – Credit Card Charge Authorization: If the buyer(s) fail to attend the scheduled pick, we will automatically charge the card on file immediately following the scheduled pickup time, with no exceptions.

Second Chance Pickup and Fee: If items are not picked up during the original scheduled pickup day, one more additional time frame will be available: Friday, January 12th, 4 – 6PM Central. We will automatically charge your credit card on file a cost of $25. This $25 fee covers the additional cost of labor, scheduling conflicts, and fuel incurred to meet during the 3-day “last chance” window. This fee will not be waived for any reason. This non-pickup policy strictly is enforced as the non-removal of items is becoming an issue.

For all other items that remain after “Second Chance Pickup”, the buyer will forfeit the rights to said items and will revert back to the seller/auction company.

Full Service, In-House Shipping: If shipping is desired on smaller items, please make a note when registering as we can immediately sort items for shipment at the close of the auction to expedite the shipping process. All shipping costs, tracking, insurance, and signature on delivery will be paid for by the buyer. The buyer will also be charged a small handling fee of $8 per shipment unless the items require a pallet. We utilize the “Shipping Saint” Program to streamline our shipping process. Once you have paid the invoice for the item, a second invoice from Shipping Saint will include your actual shipping invoice. Once this shipping invoice has been paid, your item will be shipped. During these times of high shipments, extended shipping times may occur, we try to have all items shipped within 5 business days of auction close, however, we do reserve the right for up to 15 business days of auction close.
