BIDDING



By placing a bid, you signify that you have examined the item(s) as fully as you have desired to or that you have chosen not to examine it/them.



When you place a bid, you enter into a contractually binding and irrevocable obligation to complete the transaction if you are the 'winning bidder' of that lot.

The 'winning bidder' is the person certified to be the highest bidder by the auctioneer, and it includes any under-bidder who is awarded the lot following the failure for any reason of a higher bid as decreed by the auctioneer.

Under no circumstances can a bid be retracted after it has been submitted (unless the auctioneer has allowed the retraction).



The 'winning bidder' assumes the full risk and responsibility of the property that he/she has purchased, agrees to sign any forms related to confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full purchase price (the hammer price + the buyer's premium).
