Neither Strathroy Auction Services nor the Owner is responsible for any error on conditions of items.
Photos with lot descriptions are to be used to act as part of the item description. We make all efforts to note any defects. Please view all photos for each item before you bid and bid accordingly. All sizes noted in description are approximate.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees not to retract their bids. The Highest Bidder shall be the Buyer.
Bidders who are not present to preview understand and acknowledge that they may not be able to inspect an item as well as if they examined it in person.

All items must be picked up at the scheduled pickup dates and times, unless other arrangements are made in advance. Any items not picked up by the prescribed pick-up date or arranged pick-up date will be considered abandoned and Strathroy Auction Services shall have full right to resell items for storage.
Non-payment will result in bidders being disqualified from participating in all future Strathroy Auction Services auctions.
Please be advised that some items in our auctions may appear to be the same items as seen in previous auctions. In some cases it's unfortunately necessary for us to relist items due to winning bidders not paying for items or items getting abandoned post auction. We endeavour to minimize this from happening as our goal is to have all items in our sales sell to legitimate bidders who intend to follow through on items they win. Please note that at no time does Strathroy Auction Services attempt to buy back items for purposes of relisting in future sales.
