Marbles-and-More How it Works

 

Okay! So we're having an auction! We're gonna do our best to keep it simple, however, we'll be needing your help to make things run smoothly. There will be 3 ways for you to make a bid......

1. E-mail your bid to:   bids@marqueemarbleauctions.com

2. Call our Toll Free bid hotline 1- 866 MIB CLUB.

3. Go to our Chat Room for "live" bidding on the day of the event.

When you e-mail an absentee bid, or phone one in, you'll will be given a bidder's number. Please, use this number with all correspondence and/or if making multiple bids. It is the only way we can keep track of who's who. If you place bids during the live auction in our chat room, we'll need your e-mail address and/or a contact phone number in order to invoice you at the conclusion of the auction. Since we may not know you, and you may not know us, pre-registering is encouraged. We will be charging a non refundable 10% buyer's premium on all lots in the auction.  

In an effort to speed up the "live" auction bidding will now start at 10.00 dollars for lots where there is no absentee bidder, and lots where there is only one absentee bidder. On lots where we have two or more absentee bidders, the bidding will start at the next increment over the second highest bidder's maximum. For example, if absentee bidder number 1 places a bid with a maximum of 20 dollars, and another absentee bidder places a maximum of 40 dollars on that same lot, the bidding will begin at 22 dollars.

We are now accepting absentee bids and giving out bid numbers. We ask that you raise the bid by the following minimum increments.....

 

We no longer will use 1.00 dollar increments!


If the next bid is between 11 and 50 dollars - 2.00
If the next bid is between 51 and 100 dollars - 5.00
If the next bid is between 101 and 500 dollars - 10.00
If the next bid is between 500 and 1000 dollars - 25.00                                                                             
If the next bid is between 1000 and 2500 dollars - 50.00                                                                           If the next bid is between 2500 and up - 100.00

 

 

Of course, feel free to bid more than the minimum increment.

We will be happy to bid on your behalf via an absentee bidder, just give us the maximum amount you are willing to bid on any item in the auction. We will then bid for you following the minimum bid increments outlined above. Rest assured that we'll act on your behalf with the utmost integrity, we want you to be pleased and to participate again in the future.

All winning bids placed in our Chat Room by bidders present, or through the absentee bidder process are final, these lots can not be opened up again. 

Winning bidders can pay for their items with a Money Order, Cashiers Check, or a Personal Check (with a 10 business day wait before shipping.) We are now accepting the following Credit Cards.....

 

 

Payment must be received within 2 weeks of the auctions end, with no exceptions. All items not paid for will be offered to the underbidder and/or resold.

USA winners will have their items shipped via Priority Mail in a rigid box, which includes full insurance coverage for the price of the contents. International customers will have their items shipped via the new International Priority Mail through the United States Post Office. You'll be given 5 days to look over your purchase in accordance with our refund policy should you decide to return your purchase.

Our guarantee - If you aren't completely happy.....  We'll buy it back! 

It just doesn't get any simpler.

 

We reserve the right to refuse to do business with anyone before, during, and/or after the auction, who hasn't conducted themselves in a manner befitting a reasonably mature adult.

If you have any questions, please contact us.
