CHECKOUT, PAYMENT, AND PICKUP

An invoice is emailed to your registered address at the close of the auction, with the ability to pay online. PAYMENT IS DUE IN FULL UPON ISSUANCE OF THE INVOICE.

BUYER'S PREMIUM

16% for payment by credit card.
12% for wire transfer, cashier's check, and approved check.

The premium that applies is determined by the payment method you actually use at settlement. Sales tax is charged on the high bid and the buyer's premium.

PAYING BY WIRE OR CHECK INSTEAD OF CARD

If you intend to pay by wire transfer, cashier's check, or approved check, you MUST email PAYMENT@TOPAUCTIONEERS.COM with your name, bidder number, invoice number, and the payment method you will use.

That email must be received by 10:00 AM CST on the first business day after the sale.

If we receive it on time, your card on file will not be charged, and your funds must be received and cleared by 4:30 PM CST on the third business day after the sale. The 12% premium applies only if qualifying funds actually arrive within that window.

If we do not receive that email by 10:00 AM CST on the first business day after the sale, we are authorized to charge the card on file for the full balance at the 16% premium plus tax.

If you request an alternate arrangement and the funds do not arrive by the deadline, we may charge your card at 16%, declare you in default, or both.

Pickup is BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Doors are closed on Sundays.
