1. General
- Obscure Find offers collectibles and cultural items through timed online auctions.
- From time to time, items (“Items”) will be made available for bidding. While our vision is to feature daily drops, frequency may vary at launch.
- All items are sold “as is” and “where is.” Descriptions, stories, and images are provided for guidance only. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but do not guarantee completeness or authenticity unless explicitly stated.
2. Bidding & Buyer Obligations
- Placing a bid is a binding offer to purchase the Item at that price.
- Bids may not be retracted once placed.
- The highest bid at the close of the auction will constitute the winning bid (“Hammer Price”).
- The winning bidder agrees to promptly complete payment as outlined in Section 3.
3. Payment
- Accepted payment methods: Credit Cards and PayPal only.
- Payment must be completed within 4 days after the auction closes.
- Failure to pay may result in cancellation of the sale, suspension of your account, and liability for damages.
4. Fees & Charges
- No Buyer’s Premium will be added to the Hammer Price.
- Shipping and handling fees will be charged separately, as outlined at checkout.
- Buyers are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and customs charges based on their shipping destination.
5. Shipping & Delivery
- Items are shipped after payment clears, usually within 7 business days.
- Risk of loss passes to the buyer once the item is delivered to the carrier.
- International buyers are responsible for compliance with import restrictions in their country.

Some items may be offered on consignment through third-party “Finders.” In such cases, we act only as an agent and are not responsible for errors or omissions made by the Finder.
