Major Sporting Event | Major Sporting Event Auctions

Lots will vary from in size. Please refer to each auction title and description for detailed information.

The products will be used in the lead up to and during the Olympic Games. Given the short time period that our products will be used during the Games, we describe our products as having ‘limited use’ or ‘almost new’. However, depending on the location where they are used, the impact of use on the products may vary. In some cases, a percentage of products will also be completely new, and still in their original packaging.

Most products will show some signs of use and wear or have endured transit. All products shipped will be functional but may not have original aesthetic condition and may include scratches, stains, dents, some signs of rust and missing elements which do not impair functionality. Most products will not be in original packaging and will not have original documentation. Products are sold ‘As-Is’.

All products will be subjected to our Quality Control inspection prior to release after the Games and deemed either acceptable or damaged. Items which are classified as damaged products will not be included in final orders.

No, B-Stock will use a logistics partner to collect and on-deliver all items from collection points in Paris. Payment will need to be made in advance as per the payment schedule.

100% payment of the purchase price & shipping cost is required within 2 business days after end of the Listing.

The collection/delivery window will be from 11th September 2024 to 23rd November 2024. The B-Stock operational team will be in touch with the winning bidders to confirm the exact delivery schedule for the order.

Given the scale of the operation and the tight timeframes we are working with to take back all our products at the end of the Games, we will be unable to hold on to the original packaging and boxes in the vast majority of cases. Nearly all products arrived in France flat-packed but with the time constraints in most cases, the form of the product on the exit will change. Where possible, products will be shipped `knock-down` or `semi knock-down` rather than fully assembled and either repacked into their export cartons or shrink-wrapped. Cardboard and shrink-wrap will be used for glass and/or fragile products. Castors will be removed, bagged and attached to the product. Smaller items will be bulk packed into boxes.

RGS have a thorough QC process, which ensures that only goods which pass our internal QC are loaded and all goods that are loaded will be done so with care, protection and packaging as and when necessary and available to ensure the goods do not endure any damage in transit. However, it is important to note that all goods are sold “As-is”.

RGS Events are selling all goods CPT (Carriage Paid To), it is the buyer’s responsibility to take their own insurance on the goods if they wish.

It is the buyers responsibility to ensure that the goods meet any local regulations and product compliance requirements for the country they are receiving the goods in.

Detailed information about quantity discrepancies and quality of goods is available on every auction page and should be read prior to bidding. If any complaints should arise on receipt of the goods then please email [email protected]

The buyer will have 5 business days from the date of receipt to advise of any product quality issues, with clear descriptions and photographs of the purported damage.                    

The quantities made available for sale through the B-Stock Auction platform relate to the quantities originally supplied to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. These quantities are subject to change as a result of Loss & Damage or by the retention of goods by Paris 2024 for Legacy use. RGS Events retains the right to cancel any order at anytime prior to shipment if we are unable to fulfil it due to not having the stock returned and therefore available for resale even if the full amount of the auction price has been paid. RGS Events will refund any monies paid by the customer for the goods, including the deposit and balance payment. RGS Events will not be liable for anything other the amount paid by the customer; this includes loss of interest, loss of profit, monetary or other compensation or any other loss above and beyond the amount paid by the customer.

The quantities ordered may fluctuate up to 20% without prior notice. If the goods have a fluctuation of quantity within 20% the customer will be refunded the money paid for the product price of the missing goods. There will be no refund to the shipping costs as these are fixed per truck. If the quantities have more then 20% fluctuation then the customer will be notified with the option to receive the updated quantities of goods or if they wish to cancel the order and be refunded the monies paid. Where possible, the customer may also be offered the option to receive substitute products of similar items, the details and quantities of which will be communicated at the time of notification. The customer must confirm their decision within 24 hours of notification. The 20% calculation is based on pallet volume across the whole truckload.

If a credit is owed for an auction due to Loss & Damage, RGS Events will reimburse you in an amount equal to the approved discrepancy. By way of example, if Buyer wins a Listing and pays a Winning Bid of €1,000, and the shipment is missing an item that is 10% of the retail value of the Listing, RGS Events will issue Buyer a reimbursement in the amount of €100 (i.e., 10% applied to the of the Winning Bid amount of the Listing).  Such reimbursement may be in the form of an offset against any amount you may owe to RGS Events or a credit to your B-Stock account.
