West Coast Mineral is a small business dedicated to providing mineral specimens for the amateur and connoisseur, as well as for those in between.

Recently, I was asked how I went from collecting rocks and minerals to selling them as well. I'd say the most significant thing is to be the mineral dealer you yourself would want to do business with more than once. It started from a number of things. I first joined facebook in the hopes of connecting with others who like rocks and minerals as I do. Once I started posting what I had in my own coll

ENDED West Coast Mineral Auction Ending 02-14-14 at 7:00 PM, PST 02/13/2014

***PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING AUCTION RULES BEFORE BIDDING***
**THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THESE RULES**

Need-To-Know Basics:

All weekly auctions end on Friday at 7:00 PM, PST.
Starting prices on each of the minimum 25 items per auction will remain low, with no reserves. Bids must be in increments of $1 or more. In order to bid, simply click on the first picture of an item and comment the amount you wish to bid. Please note that each bid is a commitment to pay that amount should you win.

Invoices will be sent out Friday night to the winners from that week's auction via facebook PM (Private Message). Payment is via paypal and must be sent on time, within 72 hours from the end of that auction (by 7:00 PM, PST, the following Monday).

For those who do not pay on time or breach an arrangement, the item(s) in question may be sold, offered to the next highest bidder, or restocked.

I ship via USPS first class or priority, at my discretion, based on weight and destination. If it becomes cost effective, I'll ship via flat rate boxes starting at $5.80, domestic. The goal here is to save you money without running the risk of damaging your specimens or having them arrive way later than they should.
I offer combined shipping to again, save you money. However, all payments must still be sent by the following Monday for each auction. If you want me to hold your paid winnings to combine shipping, please let me know!
I ship within two business days of receiving payment (or for those who opt for combined shipping, upon given the go-ahead to ship.)

I am flexible, but I am not a doormat. If you make an arrangement with me, I expect you to honor it. No exceptions.

The basic rules discussed here are expanded upon below...


Payment Information:
PAYPAL IS THE PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT, but I am open to money orders if necessary. At the end of each auction, I will promptly message each winning bidder with their total. It is advised that each winning bidder confirm their shipping address upon sending payment. Please note shipping is included in the total (see shipping information listed below).
PAYMENTS MUST BE SENT NO LATER THAN WITHIN 72 HOURS AFTER AUCTION CLOSE (by 7:00 PM, PST, the following Monday).



Late Payments:
IF PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED AS DESCRIBED OR PER ANY ARRANGEMENT MADE WITH ME, THEN THE ITEM(S) IN QUESTION MAY BE SOLD, OFFERED TO THE NEXT HIGHEST BIDDER, OR SIMPLY RESTOCKED.
Bidders who neglect to send payment on time may only continue to participate in future auctions if payments are received within 24 hours of auction close (by 7:00 PM, PST, that Saturday). After this, failure to send payment within 24 hours WILL result in a permanent ban on participating in future auctions.


Shipping Information:
I ship within two business days of receiving payment (or for those who opt for combined shipping, upon given the go-ahead to ship.)
Winnings will be shipped via USPS first class or priority, at my discretion, based on weight and destination. If it becomes cost effective, I'll ship via flat rate boxes at the exact rates as controlled by the USPS.
Most orders will be shipped in small boxes or padded envelopes, but large orders or large/heavier items may require flat rate boxes. (Please keep this in mind should you desire to combine paid winnings to save shipping, or when making an arrangement with me.)
I will do my best to minimize shipping costs for winning bidders without sacrificing proper packaging.

US Orders:
Usually between $2 and $4. If flat rate shipping is more cost effective, $5.80 for small boxes, $12.35 for medium, and $16.85 for large.

International Orders:
Flat rate shipping is ($19.95 to Canada), $23.95 for small boxes; ($40.95 to Canada), $59.95 for medium; and ($53.95 to Canada), $77.95 for large.


So remember, pay on time, communication is key, and shipping is via flat rate box.
If you have any questions about the auction rules or any of the items available, please feel free to ask them via PM (private message).

Good luck and happy bidding! :)
