Pick Up:  Pick up of items won is Monday and Tuesday after the auction from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.  Auctions where the items are located on-site must be picked up at that location.  You will need to bring whatever equipment/help/boxes necessary to load and pack your items.

Costs & Guarantees:  You are responsible for all the purchases you make through bidding online or by absentee bid.  It is also your responsibility to inspect all the items you are interested in before you bid on them.  Most things are sold as-is and there are no refunds.  The exception is for electrical or mechanical.  Dodds Auction offers a limited guarantee on these types of things, which would include stereos, electrical appliances, computer hardware, power tools and motors.  The guarantee is good until Wednesday, 5:00 pm, immediately following our on-line Saturday auction.  If there is a problem but you cannot return the item on the Wednesday, you must call and tell us about it by the deadline.
