11. This is a public auction and not a retail setting. All sales are final. No returns or chargebacks are

12. Pa Auction Center is not responsible for, and shall not be held liable for any errors, omissions of, or failure to carry out an absentee bid, regardless of how the bid was submitted. This also includes any technical failures that may arise during the auction that affect absentee bids, including internet
connections, telephones, computers, and networks.
12A. This is a live auction that offers online bidding through one or more internet bidding platforms. You have three options for bidding: live in person, absentee by submitting a bid to the auctioneer before the auction day, or online via pre-bids or the live bidding console on auction day. All internet and absentee bids are considered pre-bids and will be presented to the auctioneer when the item enters the ring on auction day. If you choose to leave a max bid on an internet bidding platform, please note that a tie bid scenario may occur. Tie bids can occur due to pre-bidding on 2 different sites being the exact same price when the item enters the ring or a flurry of bidding happening between floor bidders and the bid being awarded to a floor bidder before the internet max bid could be recognized by the auctioneer. In the event of a tie bid between an internet bidder, absentee bidder, or a floor bidder, the auctioneer determines who is awarded the bid. As a result, an item may sell to a floor or an internet bidder on another internet bidding platform for the same price as your max bid. We don't favor one bid over the other nor do we favor a floor bidder over an internet bidder. For the best results, we recommend following the auction live on auction day with the audio turned on which will always give you an opportunity to bid again in the event of a tie bid prior to the item being sold.
