TIPS FOR BUYERS on ICCAUCTIONSBID EARLYMost collectors are familiar with Ebay bidding where it is often best to bid late. ICCAuctions© are substantially different; and we think it is to your advantage to bid early. Here are 6 reasons why:
PROXY BIDDINGIf you are high bidder and your bid does not meet the reserve price, the full amount of your bid will show, even if there are no other bidders.If your bid meets or exceeds the reserve and there are no other bidders only the reserve price will show. If your bid is at least one bid increment above the previous high bid and the reserve price has previously been met, the auction will only show one bid increment above the previous high bid. SOFT CLOSEICCAuctions does not allow sniping. If you bid in the last 5 minutes of an auction – the auction will be extended for 5 minutes from the time of your bid. As in a "live" auction – the bidding goes on until there are no more bids (for 5 minutes).SECOND CHANCEThis is your chance to find a bargain. If a lot with a starting price of $150 or more did not meet its reserve price during the regular auction; or if a lot with a starting price of $150 or more did not have any bids; they may be re-listed in the Second Chance auction. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. The rules are below:

ICCAuctions makes every effort to avoid fakes and frauds – but there are no guarantees – and we are not responsible for any misrepresentations by sellers.If you think an item is suspicious – email us. However, we need more information than just your feelings. There must be clear proof of lack of authenticity for us to be able to contact the Seller. ITEMS RECEIVED THAT ARE NOT AS DESCRIBEDA buyer may return an item to the seller if the item is not as described, is proved not to be authentic, exhibits undisclosed repairs or condition problems not clearly defined in the listing or photographs.All returns must be insured, packaged and returned in the condition received. The buyer must notify the seller on receipt of the item that there is a problem with the lot. The lot must be returned within 30 days of close of the auction for U.S. domestic customers and 45 days of the close of the auction for International customers.
