We will approve you without any issue.
Think of it as buying a car without any credit history, please do not expect to be approved without a limit without any purchase or buying history.
That said, if you feel you need a higher limit, call us and submit credit card information. Once we receive the credit card details (sometimes we also request a copy of your driver's license), we can increase, or remove the limit.
Do I get a discount on the Premium If I Buy From You Directly?
There is not, while we certainly allow bidding on the phone, and accept left bids, but the premium will be the same.
Can I pick up my items in person? Can I preview items in person?
Yes, and yes, call us at 845 831 6800 for any information.
Do I have to pay tax if I pick up in person if I’m from out of state?
Yes, any bidder that buys from a state other than New York has to pay the sales tax on any item picked up in person, UNLESS they have a valid resale number, please note that if you have a resale number we need a copy of that certificate on file, as well as a signed ST120 (we have those for you)
So if you receive an invoice that does not show tax because you are in let’s say New Jersey, tax will apply if you decide to pick up in person, so make sure to bring a copy of your resale certificate if you have one, if not, be prepared to pay the tax.
Note that all bidders from New York will have tax added to their invoice, which we remove if you have a resale on file with us.
Note that all resale numbers will be verified through SALT validators in New York or the appropriate sites for out of state dealers.
