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 Tuesday, March 8. 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.
All sales are final. No refunds given. Credit card transactions may not be reversed.

Verification may include, but is not limited to, providing a bank letter of guarantee, credit references or credit card pre-authorization. Purple Wave may take any or all of these measures at any point during the auction. Purple Wave reserves the right to strike any Internet bid if the bidder refuses or fails to timely cooperate with Purple Wave's efforts to verify the bidder's qualification to bid.

Sales taxes
State law requires Purple Wave collect sales tax on all applicable transactions. Tax rates are based on the item's location and are applied to the total purchase price (hammer price plus the Buyer's Premium). Tax will be collected unless the buyer provides proof of a tax exemption, which must be submitted before tax amounts will be removed from the invoice. Exemption forms are auction specific and will need to be completed for every event. Purple Wave cannot offer advice, opinions or guarantees about whether you are in fact exempt. Consult your tax advisors if you have eligibility questions. Purple Wave, Inc. cannot be held responsible for States' registration requirements in regards to exemptions. Please note, guidelines and regulations regarding tax exemptions may vary between states. If you are eligible for an exemption, please complete the appropriate exemption certificate and email it to [email protected] or fax to 785.539.5356.
