B3. This profile contains your personal information – you may view and edit your profile by logging into our website. It is your responsibility to ensure that all the information on that profile is VALID and CURRENT.
B4. We rely on the information that you provided in your Bidder Profile to contact you and process payment. Shipping/Billing Address, Cell Phone, Credit Card and Email information are particularly important!
B5. If you need help logging in or resetting information in your profile, contact our office.
EMAIL RESPONSIBILITY:
All Registered Bidders must have a valid email address. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your particular server accepts emails from our server. We use email as our primary method of communication for bidding, registering, pick up/shipping and invoice confirmation. If you are not receiving emails from our company, please check your email settings in your account and also check your junk/spam/promotions folders in your email, your server may not receive emails as consistently as others. If you are still experiencing issues after trying the previous steps, please call our office.
BUYERS PREMIUM:
A buyer’s premium will be added to each purchase. Buyer’s premium is 13% unless stated otherwise: if you bid $100.00, at checkout you will be charged $113.00. Each and every time you place a bid, you are required to confirm and agree to the total bid price of your initial bid plus buyer’s premium.
AUCTION CLOSING:
A1. The closing time of the auction will be listed within the auction information page for each auction. Please make note of the closing times. The closing time is also shown in each lot.
A2. Our auctions feature EXTENDED BIDDING. If a bid is placed on a lot within the last FIVE minutes of the auction, bidding will extend on that lot for THREE minutes past the stated closing time. That lot will remain open until there are no bids on that item during the extended time period(s). This only affects lots that receive a bid during the last THREE minutes of the auction. Any lot not bid on in the last five minutes will close as scheduled. Example: If you are participating in an auction that closes at 6:00 PM and you place a bid at 5:57, that lot will extend until 6:03 p.m. and will keep extending in Three-minute increments each time a new bid is placed. It will stop extending when no bid has been placed during the extended time period(s).
A3. Occasionally an auction is an EXTEND ONE/EXTEND ALL format. In this case, if any single lot receives a bid in the last THREE minutes, ALL LOTS in the auction will extend in three-minute increments.
A4. Occasionally our auctions will feature a Staggered Closing. In this scenario, instead of all lots closing at one time, lots close at a staggered increment ie: One item every 30 seconds etc. The time between items closing will vary from sale to sale but it will be very easy to identify by looking at the Time Remaining on each individual lot listing.
A5. Occasionally an auction will include “linked lots” in this instance a chain link icon will appear in the lot thumbnail. Lots containing this icon will use the EXTEND ONE/EXTEND ALL format.
A6. Our auctions offer a MAX BID feature. This means that you can place a bid higher than the next preset bid. After clicking “Bid Now” you may place a MAX BID by entering the dollar amount of your highest bid. When you place a MAX BID, the current bid price may go to the next increment, or one increment over someone else’s MAX BID, if one has been placed. The computer will bid for you in the predetermined auction increments up to your MAX BID amount, only if another registered bidder bids against you.
A7. Bids will be placed in the order that they are received. If TWO bidders enter a BID of the same dollar amount, the bidder who entered his/her bid FIRST will be recognized as the high bidder at that price. If you bid a certain amount and see that the bid is indeed that amount, but you see you are 'Outbid', that means that someone else placed a bid for that amount, prior to your bid.
A8. You may select to receive OUTBID NOTICES when registering for your online bidding account via email and/or text messaging. Bidders will receive OUTBID NOTICES via email for the duration of the auction. Bidders will receive OUTBID NOTICES via text message only in the final 48 hours of the auction. As a Bidder, if you are unable to access a computer/mobile device during the closing of the auction to receive your OUTBID NOTICES, we highly recommend you utilize the MAX BID feature.
A9. Wears Auctioneering is not responsible for internet malfunctions, loss of mobile service, or system glitches that may prevent you from placing last minute bids or receiving correspondence from our office. Don’t wait until the last minute to bid; if the system is busy, your bids may not process within the last seconds of an auction closing, and you may miss an item you want.
