Preview and Inspections: Thursday, November 14th from 4pm-6pm
All items will be sold "as is where is" with no physical warranty express or implied. The auction company makes every effort to take multiple pictures, note defects, note dimesions of items, and provide as much information as possible to ensure confidence in bidding. However, a preview date and time has been set and it is the buyer's responsibility to come and inspect the items you wish to bid on. If you are unable to attend, please call the auction company with any questions or concerns before bidding on any items. The auction company is not responsible for items with defects, confusion of the size of an item, or any other characterisitics of the items offered for auction.
Auction Close Date and Format: Lots begin to close on Sunday, November 17th @ 6pm
This is an online auction only with a soft close format. The soft close time has been set to 2 minutes and refers to the amount of time that will be added to a lot if a bid is placed inside of 1 minute. So if a bid is placed between 1 second and 1 minute of the item closing, an extra 2 minutes will be added to allow for all potential bidders to bid or get back in. This prevents "sniping" where a person could bid with 1 second remaining and win the item.
The bidding procedure has been set to a "maximum bid format". You enter your maxium bid for an item, but it will only increase the bid based on the bidding increments set in this auction which have been posted. Example: the bidding increments for bids up to $25 have been set to $1. If you put a max bid of $25 on an item with no bids, it will put you in at $1. If a person puts a max bid in of $20 the system will put you in automatically for $21. If a person puts a max bid of $30 it will put them in the lead at $27.50 as the bid increments from $25-$50 is $2.50. At this point you would be out and have to raise your max bid. Please be sure to check the bid increment schedule and familiarize yourself with these numbers. In case of a tie bid, the person who was there first will be in the lead. So in the example above, if you have a max bid of $25 on an item and another person puts in a max bid of $25, you would be in the lead at $25, as you were there first. The other bidder would have to raise their max bid to get in the lead. Please contact us if you are unsure of these bidding procedures.
