1. BIDDER REGISTRATION: All prospective buyers must register their name, address, and phone number prior to the auction in order to bid. This information will not be sold, and there is no charge for registration. Stuart Realty Group, Inc, at its sole discretion, may deny registration or require a deposit from any person or entity. A successful bid at auction constitutes a legally binding contract of sale. 2. PROPERTY INSPECTION/PREVIEW: Previewing is essential. It is the buyer's responsibility to preview and inspect the items prior to bidding. Everything is sold in "AS IS - WHERE IS" condition, with no guarantees or warrantees, expressed or implied, statutory or otherwise of any nature whatsoever. The Auctioneers assume no responsibility for any liability once the bid is accepted. Risk or loss for any reason passes to the buyer once it is sold. It is the buyer's responsibility to remove all items within the allotted time. Previews will be held on the following dates: - Wednesday, March 7th - 9am-3pm - Friday, March 9th - 9am-3pm - Saturday, March 10th - 9am-3pm 3. BUYER'S PREMIUM: A 13% Buyer's Premium shall be charged and added to the final bid in order to determine the total bid price for credit card payments. The Buyer's Premium will be 10% for cash or business check payments. If planning to pay with cash or business check, please notify the auction company prior to the close of the auction. 4. STAGGERED CLOSE: The lots do not all close at the same time. They are set to close 2 minutes apart. Watch the clock at the right side on each individual lot to know the specific closing time of that lot. This will be extended, however, if someone places a bid within the last 2 minutes of closing. This is called a "soft close". 5. SOFT CLOSE: If there is a bid in the last 2 minutes, the bidding on that lot can be extended by another 2 minutes. This prevents a bidder from "sniping" a bid at the last minute. If a bid is submitted and confirmed during the last 2 minutes before closing, then the time will be extended on that lot by 2 minutes. This will continue until a full 2 minutes pass without a new bid on that lot. 6. REMOVAL/SHIPPING: Removal and shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. All purchases must be removed from the auction site on Wednesday, March 14th between 9:00am and 3:00pm, unless special arrangements are made with the museum. Ownership of any ASSET OR LOT remaining on the subject property after that date will revert to the secured party. Any contractors using equipment for removal of purchases must be bonded and insured. In addition, any employee moving equipment must be covered by Worker's Compensation Insurance, and demonstrate proof of this insurance. 7. PAYMENT: Credit cards will be processed at the close of the auction Tuesday, March 13th, 2018, unless prior arrangements have been made with auction company prior to the closing of the auction. 8. HOLD HARMLESS: Every person at the auction site before, during, and after the auction acknowledges that he/she is there at his/her own risk with notice of the condition of the premises. No person shall have any claim against the Auctioneers, their agents, employees, sellers, owners, or principals for any injuries sustained or for any damages to or loss of property which may occur from any causes whatsoever. 9. BID RIGGING: Bid rigging is a felony. If any person asks you to not bid against them, or if you witness any tampering or vandalism, report all such actions to the auction staff immediately. It is a federal crime and is punishable by imprisonment and fines. 10. SELLER'S, BROKER'S & AUCTIONEER'S DISCLAIMER: All information is provided for the buyer's convenience, and is deemed to be from reliable and accurate sources. The information is subject to the verification by all parties relying on it; no guarantee, expressed or implied, is given on the information provided.
