After 1 month, if the item has not sold, the seller has the option to re-submit the item for another insertion fee and another month exposure or to remove the item. It is the seller's responsibility to notify the BCS office if they 
wish their item to be re-submitted, otherwise the item will be removed after 30 days.

Each seller will receive a lot number to represent himself. No personal info regarding the seller is given out or put on site. The buyer info is given to the seller to contact when an item is sold (phone number, e-mail address...)

Each item receives an item number

The seller states asking price high and low :

  • high – price you would like to get  

  •  low – if price is negotiable, the price you’ll settle for.   

  • only the high price is advertised on site.  

Seller decides what form of payment to accept (cash, check, money order...)

When the item is sold, BCS receives 5% of the selling price. This fee is paid before the seller receives the buyer information.

Upon receiving the buyer information, the seller is responsible for verification and collection of payment and arrangements of delivery of item sold.  

Sellers may not charge buyers an additional fee for their use of ordinary forms of payment, including acceptance of checks, money orders, electronic transfers or credit cards. Such costs should be built into the price of the item. This policy reduces the potential for confusion among buyers about the true cost of an item. Further, some forms of payment surcharges, such as credit card surcharges, are forbidden under the laws of many states.

Sellers may charge a reasonable shipping and handling fee to the final price of their item, providing that this fee is disclosed in the listing. A shipping and handling fee can cover the seller's reasonable costs for mailing, packaging and handling the item. Shipping and handling fees cannot be listed as a percentage of the final sale price.  

Vehicles:
Vehicles (cars, boats, planes, trucks, campers...) are subject to a $5.00 submission fee.
Final value fee to BCS for vehicles is a flat rate of $50.00 and is  not subject to the 5% final sale fee of the selling price.
