In the event of any dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to either determine the successful bidder — in which event his determination shall be final — or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute on the spot. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Auctioneer's sale record shall be conclusive as to who was the purchaser, the amount of the highest bid, and in all other respects.If the Auctioneer, in his sole and final discretion, decides that any original bid or any advance thereafter is not of a sufficient amount, he may reject the same.Wildlife Items — Buyer Compliance & Legal PossessionAll wildlife items offered at this auction are sold under the authority of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP).
