Where is the auction merchandise located?
All of the merchandise in the auction is located in OBIs warehouse unless otherwise stated.
There will be a location given if the merchandise is located elsewhere.
What does F.O.B. mean?
This is the location that the merchandise can be:
1. Picked up from at no additional charge OR
2. Will ship from, which requires shipping charges.
All auctions that list no FOB location are in our warehouse and can
be picked up during normal business hours or you can contact us to
arrange shipping.
No auctions include shipping unless otherwise stated.
An Auction Extender is in use
Due to numerous requests from many of our bidders, we have put an auction extender on our auctions.
When a lot that is close to closing gets a bid, the lot is extended for an additional 5 minutes
to give any other bidders a fair opportunity to re-bid.
On a lot closing at noon: If a bid is placed at 11:58, the lot is extended until 12:03.
The auction will continue to be extended until there have been no bids for 5 minutes.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
