The Auctioneer is not responsible for any errors of the purchaser, including but not limited to bidding on the wrong lot.

Buyer’s Premium
All successful bids (hammer prices) will be subject to a 10% buyer's premium. The premium is added to the final bid price to equal the total purchase price. (Example: a $100.00 bid becomes a $110.00 purchase.)
