One or both is fairly common with these online estate auctions. Those conducting the thing often have limited access to property and must abide by contractual terms made with owners.
That being said depending upon merchandise in question some auction places will offer to hold something at their offices (for a fee or not) until shipping or pick-up can be arranged. Major appliances sadly often do not fall under that category for obvious reasons.
Any-who some one has opened the bidding. Who do we know in Idaho? *LOL*
