Terms and Conditions

ALL PERSONS BIDDING AGREE TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE.

Terms: Certified check, credit card, 25% On-line Buyer's Premium. All Absentee Bids are executed by a member of our staff as a free service to the bidder. The staff member will bid competitively up to the amount specified. The bid will start in the audience and the next logical raise will be executed by our staff member, until the bidding stops on or below the amount specified on the Absentee Form. If the bidding stops in the audience on the exact amount of the Absentee Bid the Company policy (Plus One) is for our staff member to bid the next raise so that the absentee bidder will not lose the Lot at the exact amount.
