Preview is strongly recommended. Seeing items in person is the best way to assess condition, size, weight, and location on the property. Photos don't tell the whole story.
--- ITEM CONDITION & DESCRIPTIONS ---
All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS with all faults. Descriptions are believed accurate but are not warranted. Measurements are approximate. Any mention of condition is not a formal grading — it is an observation only. Many items are used and may show wear, flaws, or imperfections. When you are unsure about an item's condition, bid accordingly. By placing a bid, you confirm that you have either inspected the items to your satisfaction or have chosen not to do so and accept it AS IS. All sales are final. Buyers must rely on their own inspection, not on any representation or warranty by The Auction Mill, who in NO WAY is responsible for any discrepancies, damage, or loss once the Auction closes on an item.
---BIDDING PROCESS/CLOSING/LOTS---: Soft-close bidding (where auction is automatically extended at closing time) creates a live-auction atmosphere. Any bid placed within the last 3 minutes resets that item's clock to 3 minutes, continuing until no bids are placed inside the last 3 minutes. Lots are spaced 20 seconds apart, so items close over a period of time. Similar items may close at the same time and extend if any of those lots receive a bid. The chain-link symbol in the lower-left of the grey screen denotes a grouped lot.
By bidding, Buyer agrees to NOT stop payment on any check and, under no circumstances, shall a Buyer initiate a chargeback on a credit card. Breach of this term shall result in Bidder incurring all costs, damages and liability associated therewith and they shall not be allowed to participate in future auctions.
---NONPAYING BIDDERS---
If you bid and do not pay, The Auction Mill reserves the right to ban you from all online & live auctions indefinitely. IF YOU DON'T INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH, DO NOT BID. If we must resell an item where you were the winning bidder, you are liable for any difference if it sells for less. If we pursue legal action for your nonpayment, all legal expenses are paid by the buyer.
---TITLE--- Title transfers only when payment and pickup are honored in accordance with the payment and pickup terms set forth in these terms and conditions.
