HOW IT WORKS:
This auction will be active from 04 to 08, August 2025. During this period, participants will be able to bid on the lots included in this auction. The starting price and bids are in local currency, Dominican pesos, and the minimum bid will be RD$1000. The price of the lots will increase as bids are received and participants must be attentive to react on the evolution of prices. Winners will be contacted at the email or phone number provided during registration and instructions will be given with details and instructions for final payment and pick up of the items. The U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo has put every effort into preparing the catalog for this auction by providing descriptions and photos of the items, but all lots are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with all flaws, imperfections and errors of description. Winner will be required to make the appropriate payment three business days from the closing date of the auction. If the winner does not make the payment within the established time or rejects the item(s), his/her account will be suspended and he/she will not be able to participate in future virtual auctions. Logistics and costs associated with the pick-up of the item(s) are the responsibility of the buyer.
TECHNICAL ISSUES: In the event of technical difficulties related to the server, software, Internet or any other technology related to the online auction, the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo reserves the right to extend, continue or close the auction.
PAYMENT:
Payments are only accepted at the cashier located at the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo, in cash or certified bank checks made payable to the U.S. Embassy Santo Domingo. Personal checks and wire transfers are not accepted. The cashier's working hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm and the property section staff will arrange access permits to the embassy for the winning participant and a maximum of one additional companion. In case the winner has more than two lots, all lots won can be paid in one transaction.
HOW TO PICK-UP YOUR ITEMS
Items can only be picked up when payment has been successfully received and proof of payment is presented at the time at the drop off site.

On the agreed pick-up day, Embassy staff will move the purchased items to the receiving/pick-up area and from there the buyer will be responsible for the merchandise. The buyer will be responsible for the transportation of the items thereafter. If the items are not picked up, they will be considered abandoned.
