Purchasing

Read our detailed descriptions thoroughly!

We have done our best to represent our items as accurately as possible, so please keep that in mind when placing your bids. Descriptions are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Buyers must be 18 years of age or older.

Buyers MUST NOT share their password or account information with anyone. Buyers are solely responsible for bids placed on their account.

Items are sold as-is, where-is with no guarantees or warranties. Please keep in mind: pickup is NOT when you inspect the items you won. It is your responsibility to inspect all items PRIOR to purchase.

Unless otherwise noted, all items on this auction have been previously owned and are considered used unless specifically listed as NEW or NEW OLD STOCK.

By buying or making an offer on any item(s), you are entering into a legally binding and irrevocable contract with Southern Minnesota Auctions to purchase the item(s) in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Auction. Once an offer is placed, it cannot be canceled or retracted for any reason.

With jewelry, the hallmark found on the piece is what we go by in our descriptions. We are not jewelers and will not be responsible for items that are incorrectly marked. Inspection is always encouraged. No refunds will be given after the auction ends.

With vehicles, a ‘Test Drive’ does not equal a full mechanical inspection and will not reveal all mechanical issues. We are not mechanics. Photographs are considered part of the item description, please use all information provided to you to assess the value of this item before bidding. As with all used vehicles, any vehicle sold by Southern Minnesota Auctions may come with typical used vehicle issues, including minor mechanical issues and past due maintenance. By purchasing or submitting an offer on this auction, you agree to abide by these terms. No refunds will be given after the purchase or offer is submitted and processed.

If an item states "Tested and Works or Runs" in the description it means that the item was turned on by one of the Southern Minnesota Auction Staff. It DOES NOT guarantee that the item works perfectly or was tested for the exact application it is used for. Please inspect each item to know what you are buying before bidding on the item. No refunds will be given after the auction ends.

If you have specific questions about a certain lot or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us at 507-508-5334 between 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. Monday - Friday or email us any time at auctions@surplusmn.com.

If you are unable or unsure if you'll be able to pick up or pay for your items at the time of the offer/purchase, please do not purchase or offer to buy.

PAYMENT

Offers will be reviewed as soon as possible within business hours. Please understand offers may need to go through the seller and it might take them time to get back to us. We will try to expedite the process to the best of our ability.

BUYER’S PREMIUM
A 13% buyer’s premium will be charged on all items and lots. Discount of 3% if paid with Cash, Check, or Cashier’s Check.

FORMS OF PAYMENT
Buyer will receive an invoice via email after the close of the auction and will be payable by cash, personal check, cashier’s check, credit card, or debit card.

PICKUP

PICKUP TIMES ARE ONLY AS LISTED

We are very busy, and we have a full schedule. WE DO NOT HAVE THE SPACE TO HOLD ITEMS IN OUR WAREHOUSE.

Items that are paid for and have been held for 5 business days without contact will be considered abandoned. You will not be reimbursed, and the items will be returned to the seller or re-auctioned.

DO NOT show up out of the blue to see if you can pick up after the pickup window and assume your items are still in our possession. Our fantastic sellers promptly pick up their unsold/abandoned items. Invoices will not be refunded if you fail to pick up your items.

Please bring help, the proper tools, and the necessary equipment to load and secure your items as auction staff is typically busy during loadout times. For auctions held at our facility, a forklift is available to assist in loading large items from the ground level. There is no charge for this service. The Auctioneer, Southern Minnesota Auctions, and/or the property owner are not liable for injuries or damage during removal.

Failure to load your items by the end of the auction loadout will result in a $50/hour staffing charge (minimum 1 hour), payable in cash at the time of loadout.

It is your complete and total responsibility to ensure all items you won are present and accounted for in your vehicle before leaving the auction site. 

SHIPPING

Shipping is available on items as indicated. Please don't ask us to ship items that are marked "No Shipping" - there's a reason we have them marked as such.

We ship using SpeeDee, FedEx, UPS or USPS.

Ensure your address is correct on your invoice! If it comes back, we will reship it at your expense.

We charge a minimum of $10.00 per package for packaging supplies and time + actual shipping charges. For items requiring more packing material and time, the handling will be higher. See each item for information on specific handling charges.

We have packaged thousands of items between our previous auction sales and our eBay store - we know what we're doing! We ensure everything is safely and securely packaged prior to sending it out.

Please let us know ASAP if you want insurance. You will be charged what the carrier charges for this service.

The credit card you have on file will be charged with the shipping and handling fees.

Southern Minnesota Auctions cannot be held responsible for items that have left our possession.

Your attention to these terms is appreciated.
