Q: What is a auction timer?
A: A auction timer is what defines the beginning and end of an auction. Unlike most timers, these timers get time added on to them with each bid. Anytime there is a bid placed in the last 15 seconds, the auction will be extended by 10 seconds.
Q: What is the retail value ?
A: The retail value is the estimated value of the item being auctioned off. Being that our items are collectibles, the retail value is just an estimate of what you could expect to pay in a retail setting and to be used as guide only.
Q: What is a bid price?
A: The bid price, is the price it costs to buy one bid. Most auctions sell these bids in “bid packs” in small groups of bids. 25, 50, 100 and 250 bids at a time.
Q: What is Autobidder?

Substitute items
Substitute items On rare occasions we are no longer able to source the specific item detailed in the auction. When this happens, we will contact you and offer to send you an equivalent item of at least equal value. Many of the products we sell are high-technology items that have a short life-cycle, so often this will mean an upgrade to the newer version of the item
Delivery Charges
The delivery charges for each item are shown on the auction description page. The charges shown are for delivery to US addresses. We can deliver items to other countries at an additional expense.test 2
