It is the Bidder's responsibility to review any and all changes made to these terms and conditions prior to bidding on property.

Auctioneer reserves the right to add, delete, or modify any item, lot, photograph or description in the auction until the close of the auction.
BIDS: The auction will use a maximum bidding system. This makes bidding more convenient and less time consuming. Your account will bid for you using the 'minimum bid increment' until it reaches your maximum bid. You don't have to bid again every time someone outbids you until the current winning bid is above your 'Max Bid'. For example: You place a bid on an auction item which has a current high bid of $1,000 by entering the maximum amount you're willing to pay for the item (New Max Bid = $2,000). Your account will place a bid of $1,200 on your behalf ($1,000 current winning bid + $200 minimum bid increment). If someone else bids $1,400. Your account will automatically bid $1,600 on your behalf. Your account will continue to bid for you (using the minimum bid increments) until you reach your 'New Max Bid = $2,000'. If the current winning bid is more than your 'Max Bid', your account will not bid again for you (i.e. If someone else bids $2,200). You can change your New Max Bid until the auction closes. The seller and other bidders cannot see your New Max Bid.
