Do I need to create an account?

All auctions and their items are visible to anyone visiting the site. Registration for the account has zero obligation however, in order to bid you must add a valid credit/debit card in your account. This is for your security and fairness in the auction process.

Is a resale certificate required?

No, but if you don't have one we charge sales tax. Once registered, reach out to us from our Contact Us page to submit a copy of your certification. Once approved, we will make your account tax exempt and you will no longer be charged sales tax.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, cash and checks with the proper ID and PayPal. Please let us know that you will paying with cash or check so we do not assume the invoice is unpaid.

Is there an auction fee?

Every winning item will be charged with a 12% auction fee (buyer’s premium) plus applicable taxes.

What if I can’t pick up an item at the scheduled pick up Time?

If you are unable to come to the scheduled pickup time, it is the winning bidder's responsibility to send someone on their behalf with a valid driver's license and a PAID invoice. Items not picked up on the scheduled pickup day are subject to a transport fee (if pick up is onsite) starting at $25 per lot (based on size and weight) and storage fees starting at $10 per lot per day (based on size and weight). If items(s) remain unclaimed after 1 week of the auction end date they will be considered forfeited with no refund given.

I am no longer interested in the item. Can I delete or retract a submitted bid?

Quad City Auctions is not able to delete any bids that are placed. All bids are final, and non-retractable

How did I get outbid by only a few cents when the minimum increment is $1?

Proxy bidding allows you to enter your maximum purchase bid.  An example is if you were to bid $50.55 and the next bidder was to bid $50.00 then you would still be winning the item by $0.55.  The next minimum bid would be $51.55.

What the Heck is THE BUNDLE?

It's a chance for you to get GREAT DEALS! “THE BUNDLE” lot will occasionally show up at the end of an auction event. This lot consists of ALL UNSOLD ITEMS within the auction event it is posted. Any lots or items that have received Zero Bids are considered to be UNSOLD and will be placed into one BUNDLE lot. The amount of lots within this listing will be determined at the end of the auction and can be followed by watching zero bid items. THE BUNDLE listing will be removed if all prior lots have successful bids and there will be no charge for the lot.
**Items with starting bids of $10 or higher and/or Reserve Price items are NOT included in The Bundle

What if I did not receive an invoice in my email?
