1. Registration:  To gain access to the Auctioneer’s bidding system, you will need to register and obtain a bidder number.  You must be eighteen years old or older to register.  You agree that all information that you provide during the registration process will be true and accurate.  You will be banned from participation in the Auctioneer’s auctions indefinitely, should you provide any false information during the registration process.

2. Applying for Tax-Exempt Status:  Some bidders may be exempt from payment of applicable taxes.  If you wish to apply for tax-exempt status, you must submit a completed copy of the Auctioneer’s tax-exempt form prior to this auction’s closing.  Please note that the Auctioneer requires bidders to submit a new tax-exempt form for every sale.  Once you have completed your tax-exempt form, please ensure it includes your bidder number and the date of the auction, and fax the form to 757-421-2425 prior to the sale’s closing so that we can review your information.  If you do not follow the procedures discussed in this paragraph, the Auctioneer will be unable to consider identifying you as exempt from taxation, and you will have to apply directly to the applicable state for a refund.  Please also note that, depending on the state whose sales tax applies, submission of the Auctioneer’s tax exempt form may not be sufficient to entitle you to tax-exempt status.  Please review the form and its contents carefully, and contact the Auctioneer with any questions you may have.

3. Deposit:  In order for the Auctioneer to process your winning bid, we must have a working Visa or MasterCard associated with your account.  After you have registered for this online auction, the Auctioneer will authorize the credit card you have placed on file for $100.00.  This $100.00 deposit is not a charge, only an authorization hold; if you decide not to make any bids during this auction, or if none of your bids are successful, the Auctioneer will not take any money from your account, and the authorization hold on your $100.00 will be lifted in accordance with the procedures of your credit card provider and/or banking institution.  If you fail to provide full payment for your purchases, the $100.00 authorization hold will be captured and applied toward your outstanding balance.

4. Bidder’s Duty to Update Information:  Whether you are a new or returning bidder, you agree that if any of the information associated with your bidder number – including contact information and credit card information – changes at any time prior to, during, or after this sale, you will notify the Auctioneer of the change by updating your bidder profile.  

5. Conduct of Sale:  All deposits, bids, and credits in this sale will be made in United States Dollars.  You agree not to use any hardware, software, program, or system that would interfere with the orderly conduct of this sale.  You further agree not to copy, reproduce, or publically display any content from the Auctioneer’s website without first obtaining written permission from the Auctioneer.

6. Bidder’s Duty to Inspect and Investigate:  You acknowledge that the Auctioneer is providing you with the opportunity to inspect the items being offered for sale in this auction.  The Auctioneer strongly encourages you to attend the scheduled inspection for this auction, which will take place on the date listed above.  If you choose not to attend the scheduled inspection or are in doubt about the condition, completeness, or suitability of a given item, please bid accordingly.

Photographs and Descriptions:  The Auctioneer regularly posts item descriptions and photographs to aid bidders in the bidding process, and we make every effort to ensure that the descriptions and photographs that we post accurately represent the items being offered for sale.  In some photographs, multiple items may appear to be joined as a single unit, however you should not assume that a lot consists of more than one item simply because various items appear connected or are featured in the same photograph.  Also understand that, on occasion, the wrong photograph may be displayed for a given item.  ###strong
