PINBALL AT THE ZOO AUCTION RULES
#1 There will be a roped off area just for the auction items to
be sold. Sellers can start putting their items to be sold in the
roped off area between the time the doors open and the time the
auction starts. ALL items will need to be placed into the auction
area prior to the sale starting unless special arrangements have
been made ahead of time.
#2 EVERYTHING that is to be auctioned off will be written down on
a notepad by the auction staff. Each item will have a ticket with
a number that's associated with that item and will be recorded on
the notepad along with the sellers name and phone number.
#3 Each item will get a sticker attached to it showing it's ticket
number when it's brought into the roped off area. Once the item
is sold it will also have the final bid hammer price written on
it to show how much the buyer owes the seller. This should avoid
any confusion at the time the money changes hands.
#4 Once the item is sold to the highest bidder the auction staff
will hand off the matching ticket that has the same number on it
to the buyer.
#5 Once the buyer and seller have completed their transaction in
CASH then the seller hands over his ticket to the buyer so the buyer
now has both tickets. This shows proof to the auction staff attending
to the roped off area that the item is paid for. If the buyer only
has one ticket we have to assume that the item has not been paid
for and we can only release the item if the seller is there and
can provide identification that he is who he says he is according
to the name that was written down on the notepad and agrees that
the item was paid for.
#6 All items must be paid in full and taken out of the roped off
area within one hour of the auction ending. If special circumstances
arise contact auction staff. No item is removed without the buyer
showing proof of that item being paid for by showing us BOTH ticket
stubs that have the same identical matching numbers, and matching
the number on the sticker. NO EXCEPTIONS.
#7 If the seller wishes to place a reserve on each item this amount
needs to be disclosed to the auction staff at the time the item
is placed into the roped off area. If the seller decides that the
final bid is close enough to his reserve he may sell it for that
but it must go thru the auction while it is in the roped off area….this
way no item can leave without both tickets in the buyers hand. Once
a item has left the roped off area the auction staff is not responsible
for any items.
#8 All items need to be paid for in CASH only. Sorry credit cards,
personal checks, etc...cannot be taken as a form of payment. Please
be prepared to hand over your money for full payment on all the
items you win. Again, NO EXCEPTIONS !!
#9 No fees of any kind will be collected from the buyer or the seller.
The auctioneer and all people helping with the show/auction are
eligible to bid on any items but will not take payments of any kind
for this auction service. We're trying to make this fair and fun
for everyone.
#10 All postings of these rules are subject to change at any time
by the auction staff during the auction. Announcements made prior
to the auction take precedence over any written material. The auctioneer
has final say.
#11 All games will be plugged in and tested prior to being sold
unless it is determined it is not safe to do so by the auction staff.
#12 Minimum bid on all items will be in $5 increments and is at
the auctioneer’s discretion to change the increments at any
time. Bids of $1 will not be accepted unless it’s approved
by the auctioneer.
THANKS AND WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS YEARS SHOW. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.
