absentee directly with the gallery, the buyer's premium is 13%, with a 3% discount if paying by cash or check.
Q: How do I arrange for shipping?
A: No property will be released until payment in full is made on the items. All buyers are responsible for making their own shipping arrangements via a third party shipping company. Shipping estimates can be obtained by emailing the lot number(s) and your zip code to the following local shipping companies:
For smaller items, please email PKGs at: PKGSinc@tampabay.rr.com
For larger items such as furniture, please email Nationwide Delivery Systems at: debbie@nwdelivery.com or Craters & Freighters at: Tampa@cratersandfreighters.com.
Of course there are many other national and international shipping companies available if you prefer. All shippers will be responsible for picking up purchases at our gallery.
Q: When may I pay for the item if I am the successful bidder?
