BUYER INFORMATION
Method of Payment
- Cash
- Check with a bank letter of credit.
- Credit Cards on purchases only (A 4 % BUYER'S FEE WILL BE ADDED TO ALL CREDIT CARD CHARGES). For example, if you buy $1250.00, the amount you will pay will be $1300.00 (the original purchase of $1250.00 + the buyer's fee of $50.00). The club paid over $1400.00 in credit card fees at the last 2 auctions. We can no longer absorb these fees without raising the commission or the admission.
Buyers must complete waterfowl transfers before removing any North American waterfowl from the barn. It is proof the birds were legally obtained.
All bids are times the number of birds/animals in the cage. El precio de los pajaros es individual. La javla le costara` la cantidqd que ofrecio` multipilicadopor el numero de pajaros en la javla.
If the bid is $25.00 and there are 4 birds then the final amount the buyers will pay for that cage of birds is $100.00 NOT $25.00.
