Policies
Last updated September 26, 2026
These are the terms for buying from Basin Bargains. By placing an order you agree to them, along with the Return policy and the Privacy policy. They are written in plain language on purpose. If anything is unclear, ask us before you buy.
Basin Bargains is a small, locally run resale shop in Ephrata, WA. Everything is sold online and collected in person by appointment. There is no storefront and we do not ship.
You can buy an item outright, or hold it by paying a deposit of 20% of the price (at least $5.00) and paying the balance when you pick it up. Payment is taken online through Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
An order is confirmed when payment succeeds and you receive the confirmation email. Prices are in US dollars. Sales tax is added at checkout at the rate for Ephrata, WA. If a listing contains an obvious pricing error we may cancel the order and refund you in full.
Every order is collected by appointment in Ephrata, WA. You choose a time at checkout and can change it from your order page, as long as the new time is at least 24 hours away. Pickup must happen within 30 days of your order. If you need longer, you can extend that window once, by up to 7 days, from your order page.
Bring your order number. Someone else may collect on your behalf if they have it. Please check the item over at pickup; that is the easiest moment to raise anything that does not match the listing.
A deposit reserves the item for you and takes it off sale. Deposits are non-refundable. If you do not pick up and pay the balance within the pickup window, the order is cancelled, the deposit is kept, and the item goes back up for sale.
You can cancel from your order page any time before pickup. Deposits are not refunded. If you paid in full, we refund what you paid minus a cancellation and restocking fee equal to what the deposit would have been. Orders that are not collected within the pickup window are treated as cancelled on the same terms.
Our stock ranges from brand new to needs repair, and each listing says which. We describe what we see and photograph the item as it is, including flaws. Some items we cannot test, and the listing says so. You are buying the item as described and shown, and the return policy on the listing sets out what happens if it turns out otherwise.
Each listing carries its own return policy, shown in the Returns box on the product page. The Return policy page explains each one and how to start a return.
Items are sold for their ordinary use. We are not responsible for loss or damage arising from how an item is used, installed or modified after pickup, and our liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing here limits rights that the law does not allow us to limit.
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows the current version. The terms in force when you placed your order are the ones that apply to it.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington. Any dispute will be handled in the courts of Grant County, Washington.
