Frameworth auctions

Auction rules

Clear rules for every weekly auction, so you know exactly what happens when you bid, win and pay.

No buyer's premium: Your winning bid is the price. Tax and shipping are extra.
Pay within 2 days: Winners get an email with a link to pay.
Late bids extend the close: A bid in a lot's final 5 minutes moves its close to 5 minutes after that bid, up to 2 hours past the scheduled close.
Every bid is binding: A bid is an agreement to buy if you win.
Prices in CAD: All bids and payments are in Canadian dollars.
Ships to Canada and the U.S.: International shipping quotes on request.

Your account

Sign in to your Frameworth account to bid. We email you a one-time code, so there is no password to remember.
Bidding for the first time? Your account is created when you verify your email.
Your bids and wins are saved to your account for future auctions.

No buyer's premium. Your winning bid is your price, plus applicable tax and shipping.
Reserve prices. Frameworth-owned items have no reserve. Some consignment items, such as Hockey Canada memorabilia, may have a reserve, shown on the listing. We may lower or remove a reserve at our discretion.
How lots close. Each lot closes on its own. Lots close a few at a time, one minute apart.
Late bids. A bid in a lot's final 5 minutes moves that lot's close to 5 minutes after the bid, so every collector gets a fair last chance. This can repeat for up to 2 hours past the lot's scheduled closing time. Then the lot closes, even if a bid has just come in.
Maximum bids. When you place a bid, you can also set a higher maximum. If another collector outbids you, the system bids for you automatically, only as much as needed, up to your maximum. If two collectors set the same maximum, the one placed first keeps the lead. While you lead, you can raise your maximum; it cannot be lowered or removed.
Bids are binding. Every bid is a binding agreement to buy. A bid can only be withdrawn for an obvious error.

Your invoice. When the auction ends, winners get an email invoice with a link to pay. We also email you when you are outbid.
Pay within 2 days. Payment is due within 2 days (48 hours) of your invoice.
Ways to pay. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, and Affirm financing for qualified buyers. Purchases over $10,000 CAD may need extra verification. Gift cards and store credit can be applied to auction purchases; promotional codes cannot. Frameworth reserves the right to cancel any auction activity, including bids, wins and orders, at its discretion.
Tax. Canadian buyers pay the federal and provincial tax for their shipping address. U.S. buyers are not charged Canadian sales tax.

If payment is not made within 2 days, our auctions team will reach out to you first. If it still isn't paid, we may:
- Cancel the win
- Suspend your bidding privileges
- Take legal action for breach of contract
A 15% non-payment, restocking, or cancellation fee may be charged in the event that a winning bidder declines the order after the auction closes.
Accounts with an unpaid balance may be restricted from future auctions.

When it ships. Orders ship within 3-10 business days after payment. Shipping is calculated by destination and package size. We combine multiple wins into one shipment when we can.
Signature on delivery. Auction orders over $500 CAD may need FedEx Direct Signature. Someone at the address must sign, and FedEx won't leave the package or get a neighbour's signature. If a package comes back because no one could sign, the winner pays to re-ship it. Need to check your address? Contact us before it ships.
Local pickup. Toronto-area collectors can choose pickup at checkout from 1198 Caledonia Rd., Toronto. Please wait for your "Order Ready for Pickup" email before you come in. No email within 10 business days? Contact us.
International. Collectors outside Canada and the U.S. are welcome; ask us for a shipping quote. Import duties, taxes and customs fees are paid by the recipient and are separate from auction and shipping costs. Refused shipments are charged return shipping and processing fees.

Authenticated autographs. Every autographed item comes with authentication from a recognized authenticator, such as Frameworth, Fanatics or AJ Sports, as listed on the item, with the hologram and/or certificate of authenticity described there.
Damaged frames. We pack frames carefully. If a framed item arrives damaged, send us photos within 48 hours of delivery and our team will help.
Custom framing. Display cases and framing are sold separately unless the listing includes them. For custom framing, call 416-781-1115 or email us.

All auction sales are final. Items are sold as described and photographed.
Returns are accepted only when an item arrives damaged or is significantly not as described.
