Internet bidding
This is an Internet-only auction, which means the highest bid online when the bidding closes on a particular item will be the winning bid for that item. Bidding for items will begin to close one item per minute at 10:00 a.m. CST on Wednesday, March 24. The items will close in the order listed on the website. This auction will feature our automatic extension system which will grant a five (5) minute extension to the end of the auction of any item receiving a bid during the last five (5) minutes. The item will then close when five (5) minutes have elapsed without any bidding activity. Unless otherwise noted, items in this auction are selling without reserve, and all Internet bids are treated as if they were given at a live auction. All bidders will be held accountable for their Internet bids.

Inspection prior to bidding
All items, unless stated otherwise, are sold "as is, where is" . Bidders are responsible for assessing item condition prior to placing a bid. We strongly recommend personal inspection of items prior to bidding. Purchaser buys entirely on his own examination. It is the responsibility of the buyer to conduct any inspection and examination necessary to satisfy him of all material facts before placing a bid.
