Nostalgia Bandit LLC Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) apply to all sales conducted by Nostalgia Bandit LLC (“NB,” “we,” or “us”), including auction sales and direct store purchases. By placing a bid, making a purchase, or otherwise transacting with NB, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Transaction Types
NB conducts sales through two channels:
Auction Sales. Lots offered at auction are sold to the highest qualifying bidder through NB’s designated online bidding platform. By registering to bid or placing a bid, you agree to these Terms. Placing a bid constitutes an irrevocable offer to purchase.
Store Purchases. Items listed in the Nostalgia Bandit Store at nostalgiabandit.com are offered at fixed or inquiry-based prices. By completing a purchase through the Store, you agree to these Terms. NB may also list items for sale on third-party marketplaces (including eBay and Reverb); purchases made on those platforms are additionally subject to that platform’s own terms and buyer protections.
NB may act as direct seller or as agent for a consignor depending on the item. Where NB acts as agent, NB is not the seller; the contract of sale is between the buyer and the consignor, with NB acting solely as agent on the consignor’s behalf.
2. Online-Only Auctions
All auction bidding is conducted online only. Some auctions may include a live-streamed auctioneer and some may not. The same bidding rules apply to all auctions. NB reserves the right to withdraw any lot, refuse any bid, resolve bidding disputes, and regulate the conduct of the auction in its sole discretion. Certain lots may be offered subject to a confidential reserve. If a reserve is not met, the lot will remain unsold. Any reserve, if applicable, will not exceed the published low pre-sale estimate.
3. Buyer’s Premium & Fees
Auction Sales. A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the hammer price of all auction lots. The applicable Buyer’s Premium rate and any additional platform or processing fees will be disclosed in the auction-specific terms published prior to each sale.
Store Purchases. Certain items in the Nostalgia Bandit Store may be subject to a Buyer’s Premium or additional fees, which will be disclosed in the item listing or communicated to the buyer prior to purchase. Items not indicating a Buyer’s Premium are sold at the listed price with no additional premium. Payment processing is handled through our accepted payment providers at no additional fee to the buyer.
4. Sales Tax
Applicable sales tax will be added to the purchase price as required by law based on the delivery location and the nature of the transaction.
5. As-Is / No Reliance
All property is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, with all faults. Descriptions, estimates, prices, and opinions are statements of judgment, not guarantees. Buyers are responsible for their own inspection and evaluation. No warranty or representation is made as to condition, authenticity, provenance, completeness, or operability except as expressly stated. Electronic items are sold as-is, untested unless otherwise stated, and may not include power supplies, accessories, or cables unless specifically described and shown in photographs. Certain electronic items may originate from other countries and may require voltage converters, adapters, or other modifications for use. Any testing, compatibility verification, or modification is at the buyer’s sole risk.
6. Payment & Default
Auction Sales. The bidding platform may automatically charge the registered payment method on file within 24 hours of auction close. Payment is otherwise due within 5 calendar days of invoice unless otherwise stated. By registering to bid, buyers agree not to initiate chargebacks or payment reversals without first contacting NB to resolve any issue in good faith.
Store Purchases. Payment is due at the time of purchase through NB’s accepted payment methods, which may include credit card, PayPal, and bank wire transfer. Orders paid by bank wire transfer will be held until funds have cleared.
All Sales. Failure to pay may result in cancellation of the sale, resale of the property, forfeiture of any payments made, and recovery of costs. NB reserves the right to assess late fees and/or pursue legal remedies for non-payment. NB may decline future transactions with any buyer who fails to complete a purchase. NB retains a possessory lien on all property until full payment has been received and cleared. Property will not be released until payment clears.
7. Shipping & Risk of Loss
Title and risk of loss pass to the buyer upon completion of the sale — at the fall of the hammer for auction sales, or upon confirmation of purchase for Store transactions. Property will be released for shipment or pickup only upon receipt of cleared payment in full. Shipping, insurance, handling, customs, and related costs are the buyer’s responsibility. All packages shipped by NB will require signature confirmation upon delivery. Buyers are responsible for arranging shipment within a reasonable time after payment.
Full-value insurance is required on all shipped items. Declared value for shipping insurance shall equal the total purchase price; under-declaration is not permitted. All shipments must use carriers that provide signature confirmation and full declared-value coverage.
8. Shipping Options & Third-Party Handling
Shipping, handling, and insurance are not included in the purchase price. All shipping and fulfillment costs are assessed separately and are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
NB offers in-house shipping for eligible items, subject to availability and item-specific requirements. NB reserves the right to require third-party shipping for any item at its sole discretion, including but not limited to items requiring specialized handling due to size, weight, fragility, value, or other considerations. Where third-party shipping is required, NB will provide contact information for one or more recommended providers, and the buyer may use a provider of their own choosing.
Regardless of shipping method, all shipments must comply with the insurance and carrier requirements set forth in Section 7. Risk of loss in transit lies with the buyer in all cases. Local pickup is available where applicable. Buyers should note that applicable sales tax may apply to transactions involving local pickup.
International buyers are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable import regulations, customs declarations, duties, and taxes. NB will accurately declare the full purchase price on all customs documentation. Requests to under-declare value, mark shipments as “gift,” or otherwise misrepresent the transaction to customs authorities will be declined.
9. Returns & Claims
All sales are final unless expressly stated otherwise in writing. Any claim must be submitted in writing within seven (7) days of receipt of the property.
10. Platform Disclaimer
NB is not responsible for errors, interruptions, delays, or failures of third-party bidding platforms, payment processors, marketplaces, or internet services.
11. Limitation of Liability
NB’s liability to a buyer shall not exceed the purchase price actually paid. NB shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
12. Force Majeure
NB shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
13. Governing Law & Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona. Venue is exclusively in Maricopa County, Arizona.
