Therefore, we highly recommend that you or your agent personally inspect any items you wish to bid on. By placing a bid, you agree that you have either examined the items to your satisfaction or have chosen not to personally examine the items. As such, there will be no refunds or discounts if you, the buyer, did not do your due diligence.
Listings are subject to error, omission or changes (prior to the start of the auction).
Arsenault Equipment Auctions follows all federal & state (Maine) laws pertaining to auctions.
All online bids require a bidder’s paddle number which, in turn, requires registering on Proxibid with a full name, address, phone number, and credit card information.
In the case of a disputed bid the auctioneer may decide to reopen the bid or to leave as is. The auctioneer's decision is final on disputed bids. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence.
BUYER’S PREMIUM: There is a 19% Buyers Premium charged on all items in this auction (Auction hall receives 17% and Proxibid receives 2% of this premium). If you pick your items up at our facility, and pay Cash or Check, there is a 4% discount.
