Absentee Bids

Bush Auctioneering Service  does not accept absentee bids. We made this a policy long ago and the general feeling is that for the folks that brave the elements to make it to the auction in person should take precedents. If you see something here on our site that is coming up for auction and can't attend, we recommend that you make arrangements with someone that is attending to place your bid.

Condition of items for auction:

Bush Auctioneering Service  will make every effort to accurately represent items that it puts to auction. We try to identify and report wear and damage. As stated before, please take the time to inspect every item, you are buying as is where is.

Property Removal

As stated in the "Terms & Conditions" of auctions, winning bidders are obligated to immediately remove their items from the auction site at the conclusion of the auction, unless other arrangements are made. Bush Auctioneering Service  is not responsible for items left unattended. In many cases, a supervised area at the auction site is set aside for items that have been purchased.  A sales receipt will need to be shown to remove items from this area.

* In the event of larger items, we can assist you in finding a hauler which will charge a fee for delivery.
