If you are invoiced for a HIGHSPOTS AUCTION (NOT BROUGHT IN FROM THE TALENT) item, you have till the next fiscal week Thursday at 12pm EST to pay. Failure to do so will result in a ban from participating in shows and/or your account being disabled.

    • Hard card items MUST be paid by no later than the next fiscal week Thursday at 12pm EST. Failure to pay will result in you no longer being able to "win" these items or participate in auction item bidding.
    • For the first infraction of not paying for a Hard Card, Auction or Claim Sale item you will be unable to claim/win those items for 3 months. The second infraction will make you unable to claim/win those items at all on any FB live shows. We do this as claiming these items limits other people from obtaining these items.
    • For Hard Card items you are LIMITED TO 1 to be fair to all other bidders unless we do not sell out, this is regardless of the quantity you list on your SOLD bid in the comment section.
    • If you do not put SOLD/ the ITEM NAME/ PRICE you will not be considered a winner even on HARD CARD ITEMS.
    • If you delete your comments off the Facebook feed, there is no way for our system to pick it up and you will not be considered a winner.
    • You must follow the rules of the show to qualify for any winning items. If you were "called out" as a winner but did not follow the rules you will not have won.
    • The highspots master list for shows is used to settle all disputes due to lag and not following the rules; mob rule no longer applies.
    • If you miss a Thursday VGT and want to claim any items, you must message the FB page by 12pm EST the NEXT DAY (Friday). Any requests after this time WILL NOT be honored. If VGT falls on a day other than Thursday you will still need to message by the NEXT DAY. This policy of claiming items on the next day prior to 12pm EST applies to other FB live shows where claiming items can happen (OGT, Turbo Tuesday, etc). Items can only be added if they are not Show Special items, Hard Cards or Auction Items. Requests after 12pm EST the following day will not be honored.
    • Repeated non-payment of any items claimed during live shows or on claim sales, even non hard card or auction, can result in you no longer being able to participate in these shows at our discretion.

    ITEMS

    • For all figures, microbrawlers, funkos and other non-flat items unless explicitly noted, they are NOT MINT. All items will have shelf wear & tear from moderate handling. We will not accept returns/exchanges for this shelf wear and tear.
    • For all signed promos, posters, funkos, figures, turnbuckles, etc please note that due to the amount of items we have signed, the type of paint pen/sharpie used and the way talent has signed there may be a slight difference in signature strength, slight smudging, slight creasing or different placement of where the signature is located vs the COA photos. We will not accept returns for this type of issue.
    • For any unsigned items due to the age of the items and frequent handling of these items we cannot guarantee they will be mint. All items will have shelf wear & tear from these conditions. We will not accept returns/exchanges for this shelf wear & tear.
    • Items shipped in top loaders and/or protective cases are for extra protection and at Highspots cost. If a top loader/case arrives damaged but the actual item is not damaged we will not replace the top loader(s)/case(s).
    • Pictures on the website are used as a sample image and not necessarily the exact item you will receive. Please note due to the age of some photos/printing process they may be grainy, slightly pixelated and/or not as sharp as shown on your screen. We will not accept refunds for issues related to "photo quality".
    • Occasionally we will offer a choice on a talent signature (real name or wrestler name for example). We do this when it has been cleared by the talent or talent's agent. Ultimately however the talent can choose to sign this way or choose to sign a different way. We will not offer refunds or discounts if a talent chooses to sign their name a different way as ultimately talent signatures are up to the talent.
    • We do not offer refunds or exchanges for items won on during any auctions. Those items are all sales final.
    • All items are packaged with care when they leave our facility, as they are further handled by the shipping service any damage occurring shipping (crushed boxes, dented products, etc) will need to be addressed with the shipping company and a claim filled through them.

    • If you return items that qualified for free shipping and your return takes you under that free shipping threshold amount, your refund will be less the shipping charges.
    • While we back our products sold 100% we do want to make you feel comfortable.  If you choose to get one of our autographed items certified by a third party we offer a 30-day money back guarantee policy in the event that any of our autographed items do not pass certification.  You must return the original item with the denial letter from only a qualified third party such as: Beckett Authentication Services, Professional Sports Authenticator PSA/DNA, James Spence Authentication JSA.  If you need to return an item please notify us by email first at sales@highspots.com
