Welcome to Beloit Auction!
Unless otherwise noted in the lot description, all items in this auction are located at Beloit Auction, 1525 Sun Valley Drive, Beloit, Wisconsin. These Terms and Conditions govern your participation in this auction.
(1) Bidder Registration
You must register to bid. Auctioneer may set registration requirements and bidder qualification criteria at its sole discretion. You agree to provide any requested identifying and financial information. Auctioneer reserves the right to deny or revoke bidding privileges to any individual or entity, including those who have not completed all registration requirements. Any person placing bids without completing registration nonetheless agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. All registration provisions are for the benefit of Auctioneer and Seller only and create no enforceable rights in others. Auctioneer or Seller may waive or enforce registration criteria, globally or on a case-by-case basis. By registering, you agree to these Terms and Conditions as a condition of bidding. All bids you submit are irrevocable and binding offers to purchase.
(2) Account Responsibility
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password. You accept full liability for any and all activity conducted under your account.

All property is offered strictly “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS,” including any hidden defects, without any express or implied warranties. No statement—oral, written, or pictorial—by Auctioneer, staff, or Seller will create any warranty, representation, or guarantee. All warranties, including those of merchantability, non-infringement, authenticity, and fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly disclaimed. You acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to inspect each lot personally or rely solely on your judgment and any photographs provided. You accept that all sales are final, with no refunds or returns.

A 16% buyer’s fee will be added to the final bid price, plus applicable sales tax. Credit or debit card payments incur an additional 3.5% convenience fee. Invoices totaling $1,200 or more must be paid by cash or wire transfer. Auctioneer reserves the right to require cash or wire transfer payment on any invoice to prevent fraud. Other purchases may be paid by cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or debit card. No checks will be accepted.

All items must be paid for and picked up by 1:00 p.m. Saturday following the auction (all shipping containers need to be scheduled after this time and picked up no later than 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 5, 2025). Items not picked up by this deadline will incur a $75 handling/restocking charge plus tax, and your credit card on file will be charged for the invoice total plus this fee. Items not picked up by 3:00 p.m. the following Wednesday, November 5, 2025, will be deemed abandoned and may be disposed of or resold at Auctioneer’s discretion.

By registering to bid, you also consent to be added to our email distribution list to receive notices of future auctions, promotions, and related updates. You may unsubscribe from marketing and promotional emails at any time by following the instructions provided in those messages. Please note that communications deemed transactional or necessary for the administration of your purchases and account—including notifications about invoices, payment reminders, or auction participation—are considered essential and are not subject to opt-out.
(7) Theft and Tampering
Any person caught tampering with merchandise, altering tags, or committing theft will be prosecuted to the fullest extent permitted by law. In addition, such individuals will be permanently banned from participating in any future auctions and prohibited from entering our facilities.
(8) Descriptions and Inspection
Descriptions, announcements, and images are provided for convenience and are not guaranteed. You alone are responsible for inspecting items and determining suitability before bidding.

Auctioneer and staff may bid on and purchase items in any auction.
(12) Staggered Closing
Auction lots will close on a staggered schedule. Each item has a scheduled closing time. Lots will close at the rate of 3 lots every 2 minutes (unless there is extended bidding). That’s 1 lot every 40 seconds.
(13) Soft Close
If a bid is placed within the final 90 seconds of a lot’s scheduled closing time, bidding on that lot will be extended by an additional 90 seconds. This process repeats until no further bids are placed in the last 90 seconds. Feel free to use the maximum bidding feature if you are worried about missing the chance to bid on an item.
(14) Technology Disclaimer
Auctioneer is not liable for service interruptions, errors, or system failures and does not guarantee uninterrupted access to the auction platform. Auctioneer may void any sale or temporarily suspend bidding due to technological issues, at its sole discretion. Auctioneer’s decision in such matters is final.
(15) Jurisdiction and Legal Fees
Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively in Rock County, Wisconsin. Beloit Auction will be entitled to recover all legal costs, time, and attorney fees incurred in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.
