Important Notes:
• Unlike eBay, when you are “outbid” on an item, the system will not automatically notify you. You will need to ensure that you are aware of when the auction will close. We advise that you set up reminders, ensuring that you log back in and check the lot on which you are bidding.
Successful bidders must pay for all of the lot(s) he/she wins. All items in the lot must be paid for and removed by the winning bidder. If a winning bidder fails to pay the total amount on a lot, he/she will be excluded from consideration for all other lots on which he/she bid, and banned from participation in future auctions.
• All sales are final, and there are no returns, and no refunds. All items and materials are sold “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” All warranties, including warranties of merchantability, usage or suitability or fitness for a particular purpose are disclaimed.
• Once a lot is paid for, it is considered personal property. The winning bidder is responsible for any labor associated with loading and all transportation requirements. Regrettably, GSO cannot provide support in loading and/or transporting any winning bidder’s property.
Payment for all winning lots must be made in-person in cash at only one approved CIB location: Zahraa El-Maadi Branch, 8 Zahraa El Maadi St.
You will receive an email if you won any lots the evening the auction ends.
You must show up the next day at the embassy disposal area at Zahraa el Maadi before 3 PM to collect the payment slip. If you fail to appear by 3 PM the day after the auction ends, we will move to the next bidder and you will be banned from participation in future auctions.
