Surplus Property will be closed on January 1. BEFORE ANY PAYMENT CAN BE MADE, WE MUST CREATE A INVOICE. WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER THE AUCTION HAS CLOSED, THE STATE OF SC WILL EMAIL THE HIGH BIDDER WITH DETAILED PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS. THIS EMAIL WILL BE IN ADDITION TO THE BUYER'S CERTIFICATE FROM GOVDEALS. Payment in full is due not later than 5 business days from the time and date of the Buyer’s Certificate. Payment not received in 5 business days will result in default, and the asset will be relisted. The bidder will not be allowed to participate in future auctions. All payments must be via cash, certified bank check, or wire transfer unless you are an established customer with the State of South Carolina Surplus Property Office. A customer may be designated as an established customer once the customer, using the same name and address, has initially completed at least 3 qualified transactions within a one year period, where each transaction is at least fifteen calendar days apart from another transaction. A qualified transaction is a purchase in the amount of at least $700 where payment in full was timely received and all items were timely picked up by the customer. An established customer may make purchases with a credit card provided that no transaction (or group of transactions purchased within a fifteen calendar day period) exceeds $5000.00 and the name and address for the credit card match the name and address of the established customer. Our Office reserves the right, in this Office’s sole discretion, to decline to accept credit cards from any customer, at any time. The winning bidder is responsible for paying all fees associated with paying via wire transfer. Acceptable forms of payment are: U. S. Currency, Bank Certified Check, or Credit Cards thru EGOV (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express-instructions will be sent in an email invoice from our office). Credit card purchases are limited to below $5,000.00 and Bidders residing in the United States, Canada and Mexico Only. If the winning bid plus applicable taxes, if any indicated, plus the administrative fee equals to $5,000.00 or more, a Wire Transfer or Bank Certified Check must be used (a certified check must be signed by bank official and say certified check on the document). Bank Certified Checks shall be made payable to: The State of South Carolina. All payments are processed at the Surplus Property Office, 1441 Boston Avenue, West Columbia, South Carolina 29170. If Wire Transfer is chosen, a Wire Transfer Transaction Summary page will provide payment and account information. The Wire Transfer must also be completed within 5 business days.
