Terms of Sale
All property, materials, and items are listed or offered for sale by Murco Recycling Enterprises, Inc. as agent for the consignors (sellers). The following Terms and Conditions of Sale and posted notices and verbal announcements at the time of sale by the Auctioneer are the conclusive statements of terms and conditions for auctions and sales. By submitting any bid, whether in person, in writing, by telephone, or any other means, the buyer acknowledges and accepts these terms and conditions.
General Terms of Sale
All sales are final. No refunds.
Payment: Murco accepts cash, credit cards, certified check, and wire transfers.
Buyer’s Premium: Murco applies a 10% buyer’s premium to all transactions. Murco does not charge sales tax. A buyer’s premium is a percentage additional charge (10%) on the winning bid at auction or online offerings, and it must be paid by the buyer. It is charged by the Auctioneer to cover administrative expenses. Buyer's premiums are non-refundable.
Deposit: Murco reserves the right to request a non-refundable deposit from the buyer of at least one half of the total purchase price and the full buyer’s premium (50% sale price plus 100% buyer’s premium) in order to lock in the transaction and remove the item from the market. Items must be paid for in full before any removals commence.
Online Sales: Murco reserves the right to change methods of sale and alter online marketing campaigns in accordance with market response and/or conditions that may arise. Murco reserves the right to impose a hold for priced online offerings. This hold is at the discretion of Murco, and may last anywhere from 24 hours to several days. The hold begins with the first bidder “in” at the listed price. Should no other bidder come forward within the timeline specified, the first bidder may complete their purchase. Should other bidders come forward during the hold period, they have the option of bidding higher than the listed price. Multiple interested bidders within a short amount of time are subject to auction. High bidder wins. Should no subsequent bidders choose to bid higher than the original listing, the materials will be awarded to the first buyer who agreed to the listed price. Once bidding closes and a buyer is identified, payment is expected immediately, unless otherwise specified at the beginning of the sale. Online sales are not final until payment, or partial payment in the form of a deposit, is received.
Removals: The majority of the time, removal of purchases shall be at the expense, risk, and liability of the purchaser or their agent. Should purchaser not be qualified to do the removals, Murco can assist in coordinating professionals to help purchaser in removals and/or transport. Murco is not responsible for the professionals the buyer ultimately hires despite availing buyer to their services. Murco reserves the right to ask for copies of identification and license plate numbers for all people affiliated with removal process.
Operations Coordination: Murco will coordinate and communicate removal information such as timeline, labor needs, etc. with purchaser at point of sale. Timelines for material availability and removals are subject to change. The Murco Operations Coordinator will keep buyer apprised of any changes and will work with buyer to be as informed and prepared as possible. If buyer would like to contact the Operations Coordinator prior to, during, or following sale, reach out to contact@murcorecycling.com.
