(Operated by 11941470 Canada Inc.)
1. General Terms
By registering, bidding, or purchasing in any Auction Republic sale, you acknowledge and accept these Terms & Conditions in full.
Auction Republic is a trade name operated by 11941470 Canada Inc., a registered business in Ontario, Canada.
All items are sold strictly “As-Is, Where-Is”, with no warranties, guarantees, or representations — express or implied — unless explicitly stated in writing by Auction Republic.
Auction Republic reserves the right to:
Modify, add, or remove terms at its discretion without prior notice;
Withdraw, combine, or divide lots before or during the sale;
Refuse, cancel, or reject any bid at its sole discretion.
2. Bidder Registration & Eligibility
All bidders must register with accurate and verifiable information. Proof of ID may be required at any time.
A $1.00 USD temporary hold may be applied to the credit card on file for verification. This is not a charge and will release automatically.
Placing a bid is a legally binding contract. All sales are final.
Auction Republic reserves the right to deny access or revoke bidding privileges at any time.
3. Bidding Process
All bids are final and cannot be withdrawn.
The highest bid received at auction close is the winning bid and constitutes a binding purchase agreement.
Bidders are encouraged to use the “Contact Auctioneer” feature for clarifications before bidding.
4. Payment Terms
The full invoice (including buyer’s premium, handling fee, and HST) is charged to the credit card on file immediately following the auction.
If payment is declined, the buyer has 48 hours to make alternative arrangements by contacting billing@auctionrepublic.ca.
We accept Credit Card on file only.
5. Pickup & Inspection Policy
All items are sold “AS-IS, WHERE-IS,” with no guarantees, warranties, returns, or store credit offered after pickup, regardless of the item’s condition or accuracy of its listing.
Buyers are responsible for inspecting their items at the designated pickup/testing area before departure.
“Accepting the item” means:
You have inspected (or chosen not to inspect) the item;
You remove it from the pickup/testing counter or leave the premises;
At that moment, you accept full responsibility for the item as-is and waive all rights to dispute or claim.
Once an item has left the premises, no refunds, store credit, adjustments, or claims of misdescription, defect, or incompleteness will be accepted.
No exceptions.
Pickup is by appointment only using our online booking system. Walk-ins will not be permitted.
You must arrive on time. Early/late arrivals may be turned away at our discretion.
Any item not picked up during the scheduled pickup window — and without a pre-approved alternate arrangement — will be deemed abandoned and forfeited without refund.
A $25 restocking fee per lot will be charged for all abandoned or late pickups.
Delivery with pkgPlace
Auction Republic does not provide in-house shipping. However, we have partnered with pkgPlace, an independent third-party delivery provider, to offer buyers the option of having their auction winnings delivered at a flat rate.

Even if an item is materially different from its written description, no claims will be accepted after pickup.
Buyers are strongly encouraged to inspect items at pickup. Any issues must be raised before leaving.
Once an item is removed from the premises, the buyer is deemed to have accepted it in full condition, regardless of whether they inspected it or not.
No claims will be accepted afterward. This includes damage, defects, missing parts, mislabeling, or listing inaccuracies.
