In the event of any software problem, mistake or other issue, Trusty Owl Estates and Auctions reserves the right to extend the closing times, stop, re-start or cancel this auction at its sole discretion. Although an item may display as “sold” on the internet, no sales are final until they are certified by Trusty Owl Estates and Auctions and Bidder receives an invoice. The sale price recorded by the auction software provider shall be the official sale price of the item sold. Trusty Owl Estates and Auctions reserves the right to cancel any or all sales and resell the items in whatever manner it chooses. 6. BID INCREMENTS; SELLER RESERVES; ELIGIBLE BIDDERS The bids are advanced at pre-set increments which are viewable on the Auction Details page under the Bid Increments tab. From time to time Trusty Owl Estates and Auctions may accept items with secret reserve amounts. The seller and Trusty Owl Estates and Auctions reserve the right to bid on behalf of the seller on items which there may be a reserve. This is a public auction and as such, all qualified bidders may bid including Trusty Owl Estates and Auctions owners, family members, and employees. Trusty Owl Estates and Auctions may reject or cancel any bid for any reason. The record of the auction made by Trusty Owl Estates and Auctions shall be conclusive. 7. PLACING A BID; SOFT CLOSE Bidders who choose to place bids on items may do so at any time after the auction officially opens and before the item closes. Bidders may choose to bid the next increment amount on any item or may wish to bid up to a maximum amount of their choosing. Bidding more than the next bid increment means you will bid in published increments up to and including your maximum amount but no higher, unless overridden by you. Your maximum bid amount will not become the high bid unless another bidder has previously placed a higher maximum amount for the same item. For example, suppose you wish to bid on an item XYZ Widget. The current bid for XYZ Widget is $4. You can either bid $6 (the next increment) or if you believe the item is worth $10, you can place a maximum bid you will pay at $10. The auction website will bid the next increment of $6 for you and if that is the only other bid on this item, the bid will remain there until it closes and you win the item. Another bidder may choose to bid $8 at which time the website will automatically place your bid of $10 (your maximum) and you are still the high bidder. If another bidder places a $12 bid on the item, unless you override your maximum bid amount, you will have been outbid and potentially will not win the item. When the bid was at $4 and you placed a maximum of $10 on the item, the high bid was not automatically raised to your maximum. Only bids from other interested buyers raised the bid to your max or beyond. You may at any time raise your maximum bid, however. This auction utilizes a “soft close” to end each item in the sale. A soft close means as items are closing, if there is a bid on the specific item or group of items within a certain time frame of the item’s scheduled close, then the item’s closing time is extended a specified amount of time. This is done to prevent sniping of items at the end of an auction making it fair for everyone to bid. The soft close time is generally three minutes but can vary depending on the auction needs. 8. PROPERTY PICK-UP AND REMOVAL All property shall be removed from the premises by the Bidder at his/her own risk and expense within the time period announced.
