By registering or bidding, the buyer acknowledges having read and accepted these terms and conditions. These terms apply to onsite and online purchases. Buyers are responsible for reviewing the terms, lot descriptions, and any corrections provided before bidding. Ideal Auction Service and John Fisher Sales are referred to below as the “Auction Company.” The Auction Company conducts this auction as agent for the seller.
02 REGISTRATION
Bidders must be at least 18 years old and provide accurate registration and contact information. Online bidders must satisfy the bidding platform’s registration and approval requirements. The Auction Company reserves the right to refuse or revoke bidding privileges for nonpayment, false information, disruptive conduct, or failure to comply with auction terms. Buyers are responsible for bids placed through their registered accounts and bidder numbers.
03 BUYER’S PREMIUM
A 10% buyer’s premium applies to onsite purchases. A 14% buyer’s premium applies to online purchases. The applicable premium is added to the winning bid.
04 PAYMENT METHODS AND CREDIT-CARD FEE
Accepted payment methods are cash, check, wire transfer, and credit card. A 4% processing fee will be added to credit-card payments only. No additional payment-method fee applies to cash, check. Wire Transfer required on all invoices over $5000, and subject to $25.00 handling fee, unless prior arrangements were made. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars.

BUYERS MUST CONTACT IDEAL AUCTION SERVICE DIRECTLY TO SETTLE THEIR INVOICES. THE CREDIT CARD USED FOR BIDDING REGISTRATION WILL NOT BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED. No purchases will be released until payment has been received in full. Payment deadlines apply regardless of when the buyer intends to pick up purchases.
06 TAXES
Applicable sales and use taxes will be charged as required by law, including tax on the buyer’s premium when applicable. Buyers claiming a resale or other exemption must provide properly completed, valid documentation before payment. An exemption number alone does not establish eligibility. Vehicles and other property subject to separate tax or title requirements will be handled according to applicable law.
07 PREVIEW AND INSPECTION
Preview and inspection will be held on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. at 2211 West FM 436, Little River, TX. Buyers are encouraged to personally inspect items before bidding and determine condition, completeness, suitability, and removal requirements. Failure to inspect does not relieve a buyer of payment or removal obligations.
08 AS IS, WHERE IS — NO WARRANTIES
ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS.” TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AUCTION COMPANY AND SELLER DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Items may be used, incomplete, damaged, untested, or in need of repair. No guarantee is made that an item operates, is safe for use, or meets current codes or standards. All sales are final, subject to rights and remedies that cannot lawfully be waived.
09 DESCRIPTIONS, PHOTOGRAPHS, AND QUANTITIES
Descriptions, photographs, measurements, quantities, model information, and statements regarding condition are provided to assist buyers. Reasonable efforts are made to provide accurate information, but errors and omissions may occur. Buyers should verify information material to their purchases before bidding. Photographs may show surrounding property that is not included in a lot. Only the property specifically identified as part of the lot is included. Unless expressly stated otherwise, inventory counts, weights, lengths, and quantities are approximate. Buyers must pay attention to whether a lot is offered for one total price or by the piece, foot, pound, or other unit. For lots offered by the unit, the winning bid will be multiplied by the announced quantity. Material corrections will be communicated before the affected lot is sold.
10 FARM EQUIPMENT, TRUCKS, AND TRAILERS
Tractors, combines, sprayers, implements, trucks, trailers, and related equipment may be untested. Buyers should inspect condition, hours or mileage, attachments, compatibility, and transport requirements before bidding. Only the equipment and attachments identified in each lot are included. Buyers may operate, hitch, disconnect, or dismantle equipment onsite only with permission from the Auction Company.
11 BIDDING AND SALE PROCEDURE
A bid is an offer to purchase under these terms. Once the auctioneer announces an item sold, or an online lot closes with an accepted winning bid, the buyer is responsible for the purchase. Unless expressly advertised as absolute or without reserve, lots are offered with reserve. The Auction Company may withdraw a lot before completion of its sale or reject a bid that does not meet an applicable reserve. Any seller bidding or bidding on the seller’s behalf will occur only with the notice required by applicable law. The auctioneer will resolve bidding disputes and may reopen bidding when appropriate and permitted by law. Collusion, fictitious bidding, and bidding intended to manipulate prices are prohibited.
12 ONLINE BIDDING
Online bidding is provided through Proxibid and is subject to applicable platform terms. Internet delays, connection failures, device problems, or platform interruptions may prevent bids from being received. Buyers should submit bids with sufficient time for transmission. In the event of a material technical interruption, the Auction Company may pause, extend, or reschedule affected bidding and communicate the applicable procedure to bidders. A bid displayed on a buyer’s device does not by itself establish that the bid was received or accepted.
13 RESPONSIBILITY FOR PURCHASES
Responsibility for purchased items and risk of loss pass to the buyer upon completion of the sale, to the extent permitted by law. Buyers should arrange appropriate protection and prompt removal of their purchases. Items may not be used, moved, or removed until payment and release requirements have been satisfied.
14 PICKUP AND REMOVAL
Scheduled pickup hours are: Friday, November 20, 2026: 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Saturday, November 21, 2026: 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Monday, November 23, 2026: 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. ALL PURCHASES MUST BE REMOVED BY 4:00 P.M. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2026. NO ITEMS WILL BE LOADED OUT UNTIL THE AUCTION HAS CONCLUDED. Buyers must allow sufficient time to locate, load, secure, and remove purchases before pickup hours end. Payment does not extend the removal deadline. Buyers must present a paid invoice before purchases are released. A buyer sending a transporter or other representative must provide authorization identifying the person or company permitted to collect the purchases.
15 NO LOADING ASSISTANCE
NO LOADING ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE. Buyers must furnish all labor, equipment, tools, packing materials, and transportation necessary to safely remove their purchases. Buyers and their representatives are responsible for safe loading, securement, transportation, and any authorized dismantling or disconnection. Buyers are responsible for damage they or their representatives cause to buildings, grounds, utilities, or other property during removal.
16 SHIPPING
SHIPPING IS SOLELY THE BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY. The Auction Company does not provide packing, crating, shipping, or loading services. Buyers must make their own arrangements and ensure their transporters arrive during scheduled pickup hours. Arranging shipping does not extend payment or removal deadlines.
17 ITEMS NOT REMOVED
Any item remaining after 4:00 p.m. Monday, November 23, 2026, will be considered abandoned and will become the property of Ideal Auction Service, without refund, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Ideal Auction Service may retain, resell, or otherwise dispose of such property, subject to any notice or other procedures required by law. Failure to remove purchases does not cancel unpaid invoice obligations. Any recovery or disposition will be accounted for as required by law.
18 SITE SAFETY
The auction location is a farm property and may contain uneven surfaces, sharp materials, moving equipment, overhead hazards, and other risks. Attendees must use caution, supervise children, remain in authorized areas, and follow directions from auction personnel. Buyers and their representatives must not operate equipment or enter restricted areas without permission. Each buyer is responsible for injury or property damage caused by that buyer’s or its representatives’ negligent or wrongful acts, to the extent provided by law.
19 FAILURE TO PAY
Failure to pay by the stated deadline constitutes default. Subject to applicable law and required notice, the Auction Company and seller may cancel the sale, resell the affected property, suspend bidding privileges, and pursue available remedies. The defaulting buyer may be responsible for legally recoverable losses, reasonable resale expenses, and collection costs. Resale proceeds and other recoveries will be credited as required by law. Attorney’s fees may be recovered only where authorized by contract and applicable law.
20 TITLED PROPERTY
Where applicable, title status and available ownership documents will be identified in the lot information. Buyers are responsible for applicable title-transfer, registration, insurance, and related requirements. Title documents will not be released until payment requirements have been satisfied. No title-delivery deadline is promised unless specifically stated for the affected lot.
21 AUCTION CHANGES
The Auction Company may correct lot information, adjust the selling order, combine or divide lots before bidding, or withdraw unsold property. Material changes affecting bidding or purchase obligations will be communicated before the affected sale. Changes will not retroactively alter a completed purchase except by agreement or as permitted by law.
22 GOVERNING LAW
These terms and the auction transactions are governed by Texas law. Nothing in these terms eliminates rights, obligations, or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain effective to the extent permitted by law.
23 BUYER ACKNOWLEDGMENT
By bidding, the buyer acknowledges the applicable buyer’s premium, payment requirements, condition of sale, inspection opportunity, removal deadline, and responsibility for loading and shipping. DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU CAN PAY FOR AND REMOVE YOUR PURCHASES WITHIN THE REQUIRED TIME.
