All prices are in Canadian Dollars. All items are sold "As Is, Where Is" subject to warranty information offered by the company representing the product within the individual auction listing.
How do I get started?
In order to bid on an item, you must register first. You must re-register each year. You must be 19 years or older to bid.
Register early! Don't leave your registration to the last moments of the auction as you may be disappointed; the system requires enough time receive your registration and validate your e-mail address and confirmation before you can bid.
Click on the "Register" button, and enter your personal information.
Please fill in all required fields. (A credit card is not required to register.)
You must have a valid e-mail address, as we will email you a registration letter, which you will have to open and click on the link enclosed to activate your account. Please check for it in your Spam or Junk mail folders if it isn't in your inbox (especially if you have a Hotmail account).
If two people in the same household both want to bid separately on auction items, they must register separately with two different e-mail addresses. Each person can register only once with the same email address. You cannot register twice (different usernames) using the same e-mail address.
Once you have registered, received the registration confirmation email and clicked the link in that email to activate your account, you can begin bidding.
How do I find items that I might like to bid on?
There are two methods to find items. You can browse through the auction categories to see if there are any items of interest to you, or you can enter a keyword in the "Search" section on the site.
How do I bid?
Click on the item you want to bid on and follow the on screen directions. Please note that by placing a bid you are making a contract between you and the seller (Pattison Media). Once you place a bid, you may not retract it. It may be illegal to win an auction and not purchase the item.
Maximum Bid Feature:
CFJCTVAuction.com has a Maximum Bid feature that allows you to bid on an item, and also include a maximum bid for the item. This maximum bid will automatically place bids at the minimum bid increment ($5) on the item should anyone outbid you in the future, up until you reach your maximum bid. For example, if you bid $100 on an item, and place a maximum bid of $175, if someone outbids your $100 bid by bidding $110 on the item, an automatic bid of $115 will be placed on that item on your behalf. Should you be outbid again, an auto bid will be placed on your behalf until you reach your $175 maximum bid.
Can I retract a bid once it has been placed?
No, please bid carefully. You cannot retract a bid once it is placed. Please note that by placing a bid you are making a contract between you and the seller (Pattison Media). It may be illegal to win an auction and not purchase the item.
Hey, I bid on an item and now it's not available. What happened?

What is the Five Minute Rule?
Items in the auction will remain open until bidding has stopped for five minutes, even if time has expired on the item.
