2. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of the sale, all bids are to be for a single article even though more than one article is included under a numbered item in the catalogue. If, however, the articles under any one numbered item are designated as a “Lot” then bids are to be for the lot irrespective of the number of articles described in such item.

3. The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, auctioneer may reoffer and resell the article in dispute.

4. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid, may be rejected by the auctioneer, in his discretion, if in his judgment such bids would be likely to affect the sale injuriously.

5. The name and address of the buyer of each article or lot shall be given to the Company immediately following the sale thereof and payment of the whole purchase price, or such part thereof as the company may require, shall be immediately made by the purchaser thereof. If the foregoing condition or any other applicable condition herein is not complied with the sale, at the option of the Company, may be cancelled and the article, or lot, reoffered for sale.

6. Except as herein otherwise provided, title will pass to the highest bidder upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer and thereafter the property is at the purchaser’s sole risk and responsibility.

7. Articles sold and not paid for in full and not taken by 5 p.m. the day of the sale may be turned over by the Company to a carrier to be delivered to a storehouse for the account and risk of the purchaser, and at his cost. If the purchase price has not been paid in full, the Company may either cancel the sale, and any partial payment already made shall thereon be forfeited as liquidated damages, or it may resell the same, without notice to the buyer and for his account

8. The Company, subject to these Conditions of Sale and to such terms and conditions as it may prescribe, but without charge for its services, will undertake to make bids for responsible parties approved by it. Requests for such bidding must be given with such clearness as to leave no room for misunderstanding as to the amount to be bid and must state the catalogue number of the item and the name or title of the article to be bid on. If bids are to be made on several articles listed as one item in the catalogue, the request should state the amount to be bid on each article, unless the article contains the notation “Lot” in which case the request should state the amount to be bid “for the Lot”.

9. Conditions of Sale cannot be altered except in writing by the auctioneer at the time of the sale.

10. Not responsible for typographical errors or omissions.

11. TERMS: Cash, good check, MC/Visa. All items sold “as is”. A premium of 20% will be added to all property sold, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.
