Ltd., or anyone acting in his/her behalf in connection with or arising out of the auction, preview or purchase pickup process. All bidders/buyers must be of legal age.
RESERVE: Occasionally an item is sold subject to reserve bid. For items sold with a "reserve", a minimum bid amount is required in order to win the item.
SOFT CLOSE: For online only sales, Items close at regular intervals. To prevent a bidder from "sniping", all bids made in the last minute of the auction will force an item to stay open for an additional 2 minutes. This will continue until all bidding has ceased.
STRATEGY: Bidding is similar to "Ebay" type auctions, we recommend that ALL BIDDERS put in their maximum bid when placing a bid online. This does not mean you will have to pay the amount you bid; you only pay one bid more than the next highest bid, and only up to your maximum bid. The software system will play out the bids as you would at a live auction and only uses the funds required to beat out the under-bidder at the prescribed bid increment. Bidders will find the "Max Bid" function helpful when tracking multiple lots. On occasion, a bid may seem like it has advanced and skipped several bids; this can occur because other registered bidders are also using the "Max Bid" function on the same lot. This is normal process.
CATALOGUE ERRORS & OMISSIONS: If a description does not match a picture in a lot, the description takes precedence. All items are sold on an "as is, where is" basis, with all faults. In the event an item was listed in error or an item can't be located during pick up for any reason, the bidder agrees that their maximum recourse is a full refund of the item in question (only) and that all bids on any other items remain binding.

Persons attending the auction sale site before, during and after the sale acknowledge that they are there at their own risk.
