Auction Items are being sold "AS IS", with no warranties expressed or implied. Regardless of any information given by the Auction Agents, the Purchasers have examined these items and are relying solely upon such examination with reference to any condition, character, defects and sizes of the auction items and all other information. INSPECTION and GUARANTEE: It is the bidder's responsibility to determine the usability or condition of auction items. All personal property is sold in "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" condition. All description information has been gathered from sources which we believe to be reliable but are not guaranteed. Auctioneer makes no warranty or guarantee of any kind with respect to condition, authenticity, provenance, source, condition, suitability for a particular purpose, etc. Bidder's failure to inspect any item or lot will not constitute grounds for any claim, refund, adjustment, charge back, etc. There are no warranties or guarantees of any kind. Auctioneer reserves the right to change, modify, delete any item or lot or description in the auction as may be necessary until the close of the auction. AUCTION CLOSING DATE(S) AND TIMES: The auction will have 'STAGGERED CLOSING' times. Bidding will close for the first lot number at the specified date and time. The rest of the lots will close one at a time in numerical order after an amount of time that is set by the auctioneer. The auction will also have 'SOFT CLOSING' of lots. (i.e. if a bid occurs within the last 2 minutes of the auction, the closing time for that lot will be extended by an additional 2 minutes until no bids occur within the last 2 minutes). For example: If a lot is scheduled to close at 6:00 pm, but someone makes a bid at 5:59 pm, the closing of that lot will be changed to 6:01 pm. The bidding will close if there are no more bids between 5:59 pm and 6:01 pm. The closing time for each lot will continue to be extended by 2 minutes until no bids occur in the last 2 minutes. MINIMUM BID INCREMENTS: 'Minimum Bid Increments' are the minimum amount of money that anyone can increase the current winning bid. These amounts change by the dollar amount bid. Please see the Bid Increments schedule within each 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 $10 by entering the maximum amount you're willing to pay for the item (New Max Bid = $20). Your account will place a bid of $12 on your behalf ($10 current winning bid + $2 minimum bid increment). Then, someone else bids $14. Your account will automatically bid $16 on your behalf. Your account will continue to bid for you (using the minimum bid increments) until you reach your 'New Max Bid = $20'. When the current winning bid is more than your 'Max Bid', your account will not bid again for you (i.e. If someone else bids $22). You can change your New Max Bid until the auction closes. The seller and other bidders cannot see your New Max Bid. There is a 15% buyers premium for this sale which will be added to the final bid price on each item and will be the same if you pay by cash, check or credit card. (no extra credit card fee). Your bid is a contract. Do not place a bid that you are unwilling or unable to honor. If you are declared the winning bidder, you have entered a legally binding contract to purchase the property offered. If you have questions about an individual item, please contact the auctioneer before bidding. The high bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer shall be the purchaser of that lot. The Auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once an item is declared as "sold", the successful bidder assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot.
