******Firearms*****
All applicable gun laws will be observed. Individuals who hold the winning bid on firearms will have to complete a Firearms Transaction Record form 4473 in the presence of Vondenhuevel Auctioneers LLC staff at our location and have a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check performed before taking possession of those firearms. If you hold an active CCW, you will not need to complete a background check but will need to complete a Firearms Transaction Record Part I – Over-the-Counter form as specified above. We still require that you have a State issue Driver's License. If the buyer is unable to take possession of the firearm, a 20% restocking fee will be assessed on the winning bid and buyer's premium forfeited. (If you cannot pass the background check, please do not bid on firearms).
Unless stated as new in the box (NIB) all firearms should be considered used and may have imperfections in appearance. Please personally inspect firearms before purchase or view all photos before placing a bid. Auction Company does NOT test fire weapons. All ammunition offered are original factory loads.
Responsibility of Purchase & NICS Background Check: Make sure that you are eligible to own firearms before bidding.
As an FFL, Vondenhuevel Auctioneers LLC. DBA Abby Arms is required to stop the transaction of a firearm if the information provided by the purchaser in the Firearms Transaction Record gives us reason to believe that a person is prohibited from the purchase of firearms. In this case, we will stop the transaction process and NOT proceed with the NICS background check. If the outcome of a bidder’s NICS background check does not allow us to proceed with the transfer of the firearm to that bidder, the bidder shall be charged a 20% restocking fee and the buyers premium will be forfeited. Again, make sure you are eligible to own firearms before bidding.
If a NICS background check results in a “Proceed” response, Vondenhuevel Auctioneers LLC. DBA Abby Arms will transfer the firearm(s) directly to the person whom the NICS check was performed on. Vondenhuevel Auctioneers LLC. WILL NOT give the firearm(s) to a spouse, relative, or any other individual.
If a NICS background check results in a “Deny” response, the bidder will still be responsible for payment of their firearms purchase as outlined in the terms of this auction. The NICS system is a descriptor-based name search and it is possible for purchasers to be erroneously denied. We will provide a purchaser who feels he/she has been erroneously denied with information on the appeals process.
If a NICS background check results in a “Delay” response, the bidder will still be responsible for payment of their firearms purchase as outlined in the terms of this auction. Again, the NICS system is a descriptor-based name search and sometimes time is needed to differentiate the true purchaser from other individuals with the same name, etc. If no further response is received by Vondenhuevel Auctioneers LLC., the firearm may be transferred after 5 business days.
Straw Purchases: Be advised that it is illegal to make a “straw purchase” of a firearm. A straw purchase is when the actual buyer of a firearm uses another person to execute the paperwork necessary to purchase a firearm from an FFL. If Vondenhuevel Auctioneers LLC. has reason to believe that a bidder has made a straw purchase; the bidder will be held responsible for payment of his/her bids and will NOT receive the firearm.
Gun Purchaser: We require the person who is paying for the firearm, to be the person who picks up the gun, fills out the paperwork and passes the background check. Once again not your spouse, brother, mother, uncle, pastor, etc.
"STAGGERED ENDING" Lots will begin closing at the designated time at a rate of 3 lots every minute. Please watch the countdown timer on each lot.
“A MAX BID” may be placed on any item and the computer will bid on your behalf, thus eliminating the need to “babysit” your bids. This option is highly recommended so you do not miss out on the item you are bidding on for any reason.
“THE SOFT CLOSE” feature which means any bid received in the final minutes of the auction will auto extend bidding on that particular item or lot by 5 minutes thus allowing a backup bidder the opportunity to raise their bid. In the event you do not use the MAX BID feature and you are out bid you will be notified via e-mail or text that you have been outbid and will have the opportunity to raise your bid.
