CRONE AND HAG
You’ll have to guess which one of us the Crone and which is the Hag. Suffice it to say, we’ve been selling antiques for a L O N G Time. You never know what the Crone and Hag will dig up. Always scroll through the entire auction.

Please don’t ask the Crone or the Hag to help you carry your items to your car, or strap them in. We’re old and can’t put our frail constitutions through the rigors of item transport. Besides, it’s against regulations. If you bought something heavy, or bulky, bring a friend to help you. It will make the drive to pick up more fun, and your friend can marvel at your exquisite purchase. It will give you something to talk about on the ride home. We also won’t have enough wrapping materials, boxes or bags at pick up. Please come prepared.

We never hide a piece’s glorious imperfections. These items are old and have the mellow shadow of time on them. We try our best to provide meticulous documentation and photography of all damage and wear on what we sell. You will not be disappointed on pick-up day. The Poisoned apple 🍎 pear 🍐 are for size only and not included.

We ship ‘select small items’ which will be identified within the listing as shippable. You must email or text us in advance if you intend to bid on these items. This is very important as the Crone & Hag need to make as much advance preparation to mail your items as they don’t work as quickly as they used to do advanced age. We will then verify that it is a shippable item and be looking for your possible winning bid. In addition, please contact us in advance if you want to bid on multiple items to be shipped in one box. We need to make sure that they can be safely sent together. Most items will be sent Priority mail with the exception of books that will be sent Media Mail. We will contact you a few days after the auction closes. The shipping cost is payable directly to Crone & Hag via PayPal or Venmo and not part of the payment to Clearing House at the time of check out. We will send you a text message (or email you if you give us your email address) with the shipping total. Please feel free to contact us about any other questions you have about items as well.

Winning bidders should receive pick up address via email. Let us know if you don’t receive it. Make sure you have selected in your dashboard to receive auction win emails via email or text. Auction win emails and invoice can also be accessed via your dashboard after the sale closes.

Special instructions for Oxford, CT pickup:
Pick up will be Sunday 5 February from 1 - 5pm.
Follow green and white auction pick up signs. Items not picked up during the allotted time will be forfeited without refund.

Other helpful hints: We are located in the Enchanted Forest on the windy road. When the road comes to a fork, go left towards the Haunted Swamp. Our road has no sign. Look left for Druid mounds. Remember: You are coming to pick up stuff you really don’t need in a place you can’t find.
