Police Siezures & Collectibles

All items being auctioned are sold AS IS WHERE IS!! There are no refunds, guarantees, or warranties implied.

We are a secondary marketplace and it is not the right fit for everyone. There are amazing deals here, but there is also risk. Items may be overstocks or returns, new or used, perfect or broken. We share what we know about each item, and don't accept returns, exchanges, or offer refunds.

If you have not physically previewed an item (inspected it in person), and must make an assumption about that item before bidding, assume it is broken unless the description states otherwise. If you live out of the area, you can contact us with specific questions about the condition of the item, but PLEASE contact us prior to the day of the auction. We try to give you the best information possible, but there are times we miss something.

You can place online bids at calauctioncompany.com on three platforms:

California Auction Company
Auction Zip
Invaluable

For ONLINE BIDDERS, there is a three second delay, so bid quickly. If it's something you REALLY want, you may want to physically come to the auction and bid in person. You can also contact us and place absentee bids up to two hours before the auction.

There is a 15% buyers premium on items purchased in house at the live auction, and a 20% buyers premium for all online bidders. If you have a resale license, please provide a copy to us in advance so sales tax is not added to your invoice.

This is a LEGAL AND BINDING CONTRACT between you and California Auction Company, LLC. When you bid on and win an item, you are responsible for all COSTS, including the buyers premium, sales tax, and shipping charges is applicable.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
