TERMS – All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, without warranty expressed or implied no refund, returns, or exchanges. Statements made the day of sale for special conditions supersede all electronic or printed materials. All descriptions are for informational purposes only – ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Your bid is a binding contract. Once the auctioneer indicates item is sold to bidder a verbal contract has been consummated and the liability of the item(s), including responsibility for payment, loss or damage rests solely with the bidder. In the event of a “tie bid” the auctioneer may reopen the bidding process between the tied bidders to determine a winner of the lot. Absentee online bidders which tie with a live bidder lose to the bidder who is live at the auction. Absentee online bidding ends at 3 pm on auction day so get your bids in early.
