PAYMENT

Invoices

Winning bidders must pay for and pick up their purchases within 14 calednar days of the auction.  Invoices can be collected in person on the day of the auction, or will be emailed to the email address listed on your Bidder Registration Form no later than the day following the sale.  All purchased items must be paid in full before any items on the invoice can be released. 

 

Accepted forms of payment are cash, Cashier’s Check, Wire Transfer, MasterCard, UnionPay, or Visa. Items paid by Cashier’s Check will be held for release to the purchaser for 10 business days following receipt and deposit of Cashier’s Check, in order to verify funding.

Sales Tax

6% Sales Tax will be collected on all sales made and delivered within the state of Virginia from Oakridge Auction Gallery, located in Fairfax County, Virginia.  The State of Virginia Department of Revenue requires that Sales Tax be charged on the total invoice price including Buyer’s Premium.  The buyer will be responsible for any out of state sales tax due on items shipped.  Buyers purchasing items for Resale, or Tax Exempt Bidders, are encouraged to provide a current Resale Certificate, or Tax Exempt Certificate, prior to each Auction so that invoices can be calculated correctly.  Sales Tax cannot be removed from an invoice for items purchased in person, picked up in person or shipped within the State of Virginia without a current Resale or Tax Exempt Certificate.
