Regarding Absentee Max Bidding: The option of absentee bidding is made available for the convenience of bidders during pre-bidding. Absentee bidders are subject to the same terms and conditions of auction as stated herein. Absentee bids will be entered by an auction clerk into the bidding system or can be entered by the bidder themselves directly into the online platforms. Bidding on behalf of absentee bidders does not start at their maximum bid (unless otherwise instructed), but at the current asking bid. The system bids on behalf of the bidder, just the same as if the bidder was standing in the room bidding against the other bidders. When the lot opens up for bidding during the live auction, if identical bids have been placed on more than one platform during the pre-bidding, we will go with the bid placed on our website/app first. If during the live auction, another bidder does not outbid what the absentee bidder is willing to pay, then the item will be won by the absentee bidder at what ever price was realized when the bidding terminated. Any so-called "ties" will go to the bidder whose turn it was in the bidding in a live auction format. If this is not clear, please ask for our detailed explanation of how bidding works during a live auction format. As a matter of disclosure, Western Trading Post may have a financial interest in any or all of the lots being presented for auction. This interest is at very least a sales commission based on the final hammer price but may also include an ownership interest in some lots. Pre-sale purchase or bidding agreements with some sellers, whereby we may also bid on some consignment lots could also be in place. If you want to know of our possible financial or bidding interest in any particular lot, please contact us before the auction (this question will not be addressed during the live auction). Western Trading Post may refuse to issue a bidder's number to any person for any reason. All personal information is kept secure to the best of our ability. All persons attending the auction and Western Trading Post, assume all responsibility for themselves and their property and specifically release and indemnify Western Trading Post, its agents and employees from claims and liability.
