No warranties are made as to the merchantability of any items or their fitness for any purpose.

BIDDERs have the opportunity, where available, to bid in person, absentee, by proxy, by telephone, or through online bidding platform(s).

Any notice of successful bidding or being outbid via an online platform(s) or by any party other than the BID CALLER and Management for the AUCTIONEER does not constitute official notice. Official notice of award and whether or not a sale has taken place will only be given in the form of an invoice from the AUCTIONEER. AUCTIONEER has the right and sole discretion to amend or correct any invoice that is sent to a BIDDER.

Firearm Terms:

Fire-Arm Load-Out Info: Load-out is by appointment only. Henderson Auctions has acquired an FFL dealer’s license but we can only perform a specific number of transfers per day. Appointments for firearms can be made by calling Harlee at 225-686-2252 or email harlee@hendersonauctions.com.

1. Buyers can pick their items up in person from Henderson Auctions at 13340 Florida Blvd. Livingston, LA 70754. All local pickups are by appointment and must take place within 15 days of the auction. Winning bidders will pay Henderson Auctions directly for the background check at a cost of $50 total.
2. Before any firearm is transferred into your possession, you will have to fill out a 4473 and pass a background check. If you CANNOT pass a background check do not bid on any firearms. If you are a convicted felon, even if you have had your right to vote restored, you may not be able to own or possess firearms. Please do not bid on these weapons unless you have been issued a possessory number by the BATF. If you have ever been convicted of a crime involving domestic violence, whether it was a misdemeanor or felony, you may not possess firearms under Federal Law. If you are currently under a restraining order or charges of any kind related to a domestic situation, you may not possess firearms under Federal Law. You will not be given possession of firearms purchased until your payment has been processed and you fill out the appropriate paperwork and pass the background check.
3. The background check is on the bidder only. If you are the successful high bidder and are denied on the background check, we reserve the right to place the firearm in the next available auction event and will resell it. You will be charged a 20% restocking fee on the credit card on file. If you purchase a weapon and are denied, you cannot bring someone else in to get a background check done.
4. Accurate descriptions are provided for each individually described item in the auction on a best effort basis. The bidder is ultimately responsible for determining the condition of a lot.
5. A Buyer’s Premium of 10% applies to all bids. Buyer’s Premium is added to the hammer price of each lot. According to Louisiana law, the Buyer’s Premium is considered a component of the purchase price and is therefore subject to state and local sales tax. The credit card you registered with will be charged for your winning purchases immediately after the last item is sold in the auction. If you do not wish for your purchases to be placed on the credit card on file you must let us know within 24 hours before the auction begins to close.
6. All Federal and State Firearms Laws Apply. All buyers of firearms subject to State and Federal law must complete the applicable transfer paperwork. Dealers must have signed copies of their Federal Firearms License in order to accept same day delivery of modern weapons. Prior to bidding, all out of state buyers should verify their state laws as they pertain to modern firearms as laws vary greatly by state. Out-of-state buyers purchasing modern firearms must go through a Licensed Firearms Dealer within their state for transfer of modern firearm purchases. The licensed Firearms Dealer within your state who you choose to transfer your purchased firearm may charge you a fee for this service.
7. Federal Firearms Licensee’s may take possession of firearms purchased by them on the pickup date of the auction provided they have a current, valid FFL. Non-FFLs must pass a background check at the time they pick up their firearms on a day designated by the Auctioneer.
8. All firearms designated as NFA / Class 3 must be registered in compliance with the NFA registry. A $200 federal tax payment is required each time a functional NFA firearm is transferred to or from a private owner. This fee, as well as the total invoice amount, is due at the time of purchase and must be paid prior to processing the necessary transfer paperwork. The buyer of the Class 3 firearm will be required to complete 3 forms: 1) ATF Form 4, 2) fingerprint card, 3) ATF form 5330.20 Certificate of Compliance, and any State or Local requirement. These forms will be provided to you by the local FFL auction approved establishment. Note: if state or local law requires a permit or license to purchase, possess, or receive NFA firearms, a copy of the transferee’s (buyer) permit or license must accompany the application. The local FFL business then mails the paperwork for the Federal Transfer Tax to BATFE. The BATFE can take up to 120 days or more for approval. The local FFL business will receive back one of the Form 4’s (they are sent in duplicate) with a Federal Tax Stamp attached to it. This is given to the new owner when picking up the NFA firearm. No further tax is due. The following states are known to not allow individuals to own machine guns: California, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Washington D.C. and Washington. Although we have provided this list, laws consistently change, thus do not bid unless you are certain the laws in your state allow ownership of Class 3 NFA Firearms. You will still be required to pay for the lot.
9. YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A BINDING CONTRACT. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR BID CANCELLATIONS. THE REGISTERED BIDDER IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE, LEGALLY AND FINANCIALLY, FOR ALL AUCTION ITEMS BID UPON WHETHER REPRESENTING ONESELF OR ACTING AS AN AGENT. AN ONLINE BID ACCEPTED AT PUBLIC AUCTION IS A LEGAL AND BINDING CONTRACT TO PURCHASE. ANY BIDDER WHO FAILS TO CONSUMMATE A PURCHASE WILL BE BANNED FROM BIDDING AT ALL FUTURE SELLER AUCTION EVENTS AND MAY BE PURSUED FOR CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS IN THE LIVINGSTON PARISH COURT SYSTEM.
