All lots are sold "as is" with no guarantee expressed or implied. On all listings we are going by what we were told by the estate/vendor or through our best knowledge. We try our best to get accurate information and good photos but please check everything. Yes, We want you to come down and look at the items. Usually open weekdays 10-4 but call to make sure I'm there (503-756-5637).

Lots close at 12 second intervals beginning at 6:30PM, the night of the auction. We use a "soft close" auction. That means if you are bidding on an item and someone makes a last minute bid, that item will be extended for 2 additional minutes, allowing you to make a counter bid. (Doesn't affect other lots).

Your Bid is a Contract: Please bid only if you will honor any purchases that you make. We do report non-paying bidders to the National Database to exclude them from further online auction bidding.

Payment: You will receive an invoice at the end of the auction. Payment MUST be paid within 48 hours after the auction. If you are paying other than on-line, please contact us prior. We take credit cards and cash at pickup and cards over the phone. We give a 3% discount to those paying cash.

PICKUP: Friday and Saturday, following the auction, are normal pickup days and we will be opened 9-3. You make a pickup appointment on a link furnished with the invoice. Late pickup the following Mon-Wed can be arranged with permission by contacting the auction.
NOTE: We can no longer hold onto items for longer than regular pickup. If not picked up when agreed upon, they will be considered abandonded.

MAILING RULES:
Yes, we can mail some items and try to keep costs low. We are not set up for shipping larger items (nothing over 24"). If you need shipping, pay for your items within 24 hours of the ending of the auction, then wait for us to send you a special invoice with shipping charges (usually takes a couple days). We do not ship large boxes. If you win several lots that make up a larger amount, it may come in several boxes. We will no mix heavy items with breakables.
Make sure your address is correct and up to date.
We charge the standard costs through either USPS or UPS. But we add an additional service charge: a $10 service charge for the first lot and an additional $2 per lot minimum.

To say Mr Z was a toy collector without stating he was a bit of a hoader wouldn't be fair. This estate has huge amounts of toys from the 1960's to 1990's still sealed in their boxes. Even antique toys from the early 1900s, from tin wind-ups to cast metal lead soldiers. And the smalls! Box loads with toys given away in cereal boxes, McDonalds and tourism items from Disneyland. Do you like Disney? He really liked Disney and all the characters. Also Batman, Popeye, and many more. Please look at the photos to see conditions. Some have slight damage from being boxed or moved after his death. We'll try to show any possible damage since we know many of you will want the most pristine versions of some items. Due to the sheer volume we'll group some items into larger lots or we'd being doing his auctions for the next 6 months. Yes, we will be doing more than one auction of his items so keep watching our auctions if this one entices you, it's only the beginning. Big Al and the Gang BTW: Know anyone who like political advertising, especially buttons? Mr Z also collected 10s of thousands of buttons and political advertising on items I've never thought of. Including a lot of "anti-Political" items, you know, the ones making fun of the other candidate. That will be in another auction coming up.
