An 18.5% buyers premium will be charged in this sale with a 3.5% discount for cash, checks, money orders or wire transfer.  Wire transfer necessary on any invoice paid online more than $5000. The buyers premium is an advertised percentage of the high bid or flat fee added to the high bid to determine the total contract price to be paid by Bidder. For example, if the winning bid is $100 and there is a ten percent (10%) buyers premium, the premium will be $10.00, for a total bid of $110.00. This amount does not include any taxes that may also be due. For those attending the live auction in person at 1951 W Division Rd, Fowler, IN 47944, there is a 10% buyers premium.
