Those of you familiar with our larger stores surely know our Silent Auction… stocked with unique, interesting and nostalgic artwork, furniture, collectibles, books and more!
Well, we’re taking Silent Auction into the 21st Century! Introducing ImpactOnline… Impact Thrift’s new eBay Store!
ImpactOnline will offer smaller items that are easy to ship such as artwork, books, collections, clothing and accessories. You’ll still find larger artwork and furniture along with a variety of those smaller items and collections at our Feasterville and Montgomeryville stores’ Silent Auction. These items are not always “antique” or “collectible” but are always unique, interesting and nostalgic. Some may have a greater value, others are simply unusual. Each of our stores and eBay shop will have a different, unique mix of items.
When possible, we will do a little research into the item if it is signed, if it has a label or some kind of obvious identification or back story. The items are not authenticated but put out for bid in Silent Auction or eBay “as is”. The market value of each item is determined by you, the bidding public.
In the store Silent Auction, we simply set the opening bid and bidding intervals and invite you to place your bids! Bidding continues until 7 operating business days without a new bid, at which point the highest bidder is awarded the item.
On eBay, we also set an opening bid and often a “buy it now” price! Some items will have a reserve to meet as well.
Hello,
Can items won on ebay be picked up at Impact Feasterville or Montgomeryville stores without shipping charge? (We go there often). Thanks
Good question! At this point, we are not set up for you to pick up in one of our stores but you are able to pick up at our Donation Processing Center in Montgomeryville. Once you’ve won the auction, contact us before paying for you item and we can generate a new invoice without shipping charges for you. Thanks for asking!
