Posted closing times and displays of CCAS current time are approximate. CCAS. reserves the right to close early or extend auctions at any time at its discretion. It is strongly recommended that bids be placed early to avoid losing out due to an ill-timed, last minute bid. All times are based on the Time Zone where the auction is located. Dynamic bidding – The dynamic bid on this website is a feature that does NOT allow an item to sell at the end of the auction until there is 10 minutes of bidding inactivity. Example – An item is bid on at 7:50pm. An auction is scheduled to close at 8:00pm. When this bid is placed the ending time will automatically extend to 8:10pm. When another bid is place at 8:01 the auction will extend until 8:20pm. This will give bidder 19 minutes to place another bid. If no bids are placed this auction will conclude at 8:20pm. The key to your dynamic bidding feature is that the auction extends from the preset closing time in 10 minute intervals, NOT 10 minutes from when you placed your bid.
Shipping: Capital city auction sales will be happy to ship anywhere within the United States. Ship items that can be sensibly shipped. Send us an email after you have received your invoice and we will adjust it to reflect the shipping amount. There is a small packaging/handling fee of $5 per order that will be added to any shipping charges incurred, if shipping is desired. Shipping insurance is required for the total bid amount. All shipping, insurance charges and fees are the sole responsibility of the Bidder. We ship as a courtesy to you, and we are not responsible, under any circumstances, for any damages incurred to items during shipping. If we do not feel comfortable shipping an item or items, we reserve the right to contract out the shipping to the UPS Store, Mailboxes, Etc, or a similar service. All costs and fees will be the sole responsibility of the buyer
