Payment in full must be made in full on day of sale by Cash, Wire Transfer, Cashiers Check or a Company Check accompanied with a bank letter of guarantee, as specified above.

This is in addition to any other Buyer's Premium or Fees that may be charged at the auction. 3) Applicable State and Local Sales Taxes will be charged on all lots at this auction. Bidders wishing to claim exemption from Sales Tax must provide an approved tax exemption form and exception certificates that are acceptable to the state in which the auction is held. 4) Absolutely no agency relationship shall be created in any way between Bidder and Auctioneer. Auctioneeer is solely an agent for the seller. 5) In the event of a tie bid amount, preference shall be given to the bidder attending the auction, or the bidder chosen by the Auctioneer, using any method he determines. 6) Bids are not made until accepted by the auctioneer at the sale site. Absolutely no liability shall be accepted by Auctioneer for placement or execution of bids. Due to technological limitations, and the potential for "glitches" or dropped communication with the sale site and auctioneer, Internet bids are not guaranteed to be placed or executed, in any way. 7) THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT TIME LAG BETWEEN INTERNET SOUND AND THE ACTUAL BIDDING ON SITE. Please watch the increments on the screen, for the actual bidding action, and base your bids on the information displayed by the text on your screen. Even the displayed information can be slow or incorrect due to internet congestion, slow connections, human reaction time or error, etc. PLEASE get in a bid early in the process- the auctioneer has no other way of knowing you are interested. Remember, even after you press the bid button, it still has to go through the internet to a person on-site to make the bid. In that time, the item could be sold, or the bid may advance. What happens on-site takes precendence over any internet bid that may have been placed but not yet received by the auctioneer. ie: If the bidding is at $25, and you press the bid button for $50, but a person on site places a bid for $50 before your internet bid is received, you are still out, and need to bid the next increment. Remember, if in doubt, the auctioneer will take the bid from the person on site, who has spent their time and money attending the auction. You (Internet Bidder) are not the buyer of an item(s) until you are notified by Frey & Sons and such bid is confirmed and invoiced as such, regardless of what the proxibid website may tell you. 8) CAVEAT EMPTOR! Buyer understands that all items are sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, with no warranties or guarantees whatsoever. All descriptions of equipment on the website are believed to be correct and have been conscientiously set forth by the owner, etc. However, neither the owner nor the Auctioneers are responsible for any errors in description or condition. The equipment is available prior to the Auction for inspection, and any bidding without inspection is solely at the bidder's risk. The Catalog posted on line is a guide only- it does not guarantee anything. By making an internet or absentee bid, Bidder acknowledges that he is not relying in any way, upon the representations of Auctioneer, its staff, and / or the Owner of the equipment. Bidder waives any right to inspection, approval or acceptance of items, and fully agrees that any items bought are bought SIGHT UNSEEN with NO RIGHT TO INSPECTION OR APPROVAL AFTER PURCHASE. 9) All items remain at the auction site solely at the buyer's risk, and Frey & Sons bears no responsibility for their security and protection. All purchases must be removed from the premises as announced sale day. Items left after this date may be moved at the buyers's risk and expense. 10) All Internet Buyers also agree to our standard Auction Terms of Sale as noted below: AUCTION TERMS OF SALE 1.
