Hammer price plus buyer's premium, tax, and shipping: know the real total first.
Invoice deadlines, accepted payment methods, and what happens if you miss them.
When to use the house shipper, a third party, or drive out with a van.
Why a 20-25% fee sits on top of your bid, and how houses differ.
As-is sales, condition reports, and the narrow cases where you can undo a win.
How Auction Cart Works

Pay within the house's window to protect your bidder standing and unlock pickup.
