Conditions of Sale

Shipping IS AVAILABLE at Buyer's expense. For those wishing to pick-up locally, items must be picked up within 2 months unless prior arrangements are made with Chupp Auctions.
NOTICE: Large items will be shipped pallet freight which is expensive and might require the item to be disassembled which will incur an additional cost. BICYCLES are also expensive to ship. $40 Handling will be added for each bike to cover extra packing time. Each lot that needs to be pallet shipped will also incur an extra $25 charge for time and supplies. You are welcome to arrange your own shipping if you wish. VEHICLES will not be shipped by Chupp Auctions. Buyer must arrange pick-up for vehicles.
*If you purchase a weathervane with lightning rod, we will send everything but the stand or holder unless you are willing to pay for pallet shipping.
