Dear Proxibid Participants:
UW Surplus is very excited to hold another University of Washington Surplus live auction webcast utilizing the services of Proxibid, (an independent online auction website). All registered proxibidders are encouraged to review the terms and conditions posted online at proxibid.com. Because of the audio delay of about 6-10 seconds, online bidders are encouraged not to have the audio on when bidding since it can cause confusion.
Please note the following deadlines, as posted in the terms and conditions:
All items must be removed by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, August 27, 2004. Removal hours for Monday, August 23 through Friday, August 27 are 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Proxibid recommends various freight companies on their website. Local freight companies include Expeditors International and Craters & Freighters. Removal of all items is the buyer’s responsibility. UW Surplus encourages all buyers to contact a freight company to handle packing and shipping needs, and provide service by the removal deadline listed in the terms and conditions.
Cash, money orders, cashier's checks, Visa/MasterCard, and Paypal will be accepted as valid forms of payment. Payments must be completed by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 26, 2004. No personal or business checks will be accepted.
Successful online proxibidders will be contacted by UW Surplus and invoiced Monday morning, August 23, 2004.
Thank you for your interest in the UW Surplus Auction and we look forward to your participation.
