RULES OF PIDGEON AUCTIONS
1.
ALL SALES FINAL. NO RETURNS. PLEASE VIEW ITEMS BEFORE
BIDDING.
2.
WE DO NOT ALLOW “BIDDING IN”. EVERYTHING GOES TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER UNLESS
A
RESERVE OPENING BID IS ANNOUNCED AND SUCH RESERVE HAS NOT BEEN MET. OWNERS
ARE
NOT PERMITTED TO BID ON THEIR OWN ITEMS. IN THE CASE OF AN
ESTATE AUCTION, IF ITEMS
ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY WILLED TO FAMILY MEMBERS, THEN FAMILY MAY BID ON ITEMS
THEY
DESIRE TO CLEAR THE ESTATE.
3. AS REQUESTED BY OUR CLIENTS,
IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR PRIVACY, WE HAVE MADE IT
A RULE THAT NO ONE IS PERMITTED TO MAKE LISTS OF
ITEMS, PRICES, BUYERS, ETC. AT OUR
AUCTIONS. IF ANYONE IS FOUND DOING SO, THEY WILL BE ASKED TO
LEAVE THE AUCTION.
(THIS RULE DOES NOT APPLY TO
CONSIGNORS/EXECUTORS/ADMINISTRATORS OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES
REGARDING THEIR SPECIFIC ITEMS)
4. ALL GOODS MUST BE PAID FOR DAY OF SALE
WHETHER OR NOT ITEMS ARE REMOVED FROM
SITE THAT DAY.
5. THE AUCTIONEER SHALL HAVE THE SOLE RIGHT TO SETTLE ANY DISPUTES AT
HIS DISCRETION.
6. WE WILL ACCEPT TELEPHONE & ABSENTEE BIDS ONLY IF WE ARE PERMITTED
TO RELEASE
NAMES OF BUYERS TO THE AUDIENCE SO THEY CAN REST ASSURED THAT SUCH ITEMS ARE
ACTUALLY SOLD & NOT “BID IN”.
7. ONCE THE AUCTIONEER SAYS “SOLD”, THE
ITEM BECOMES THE PROPERTY OF THE BUYER
AND HE/SHE IMMEDIATELY BECOMES RESPONSIBLE FOR SAME. THE BUYER
IS THEREFORE
OBLIGATED TO TAKE CARE OF HIS GOODS FROM THE INSTANT THEY ARE SOLD AND IF
ANYTHING SHOULD BECOME MISSING, HE/SHE IS STILL REQUIRED TO PAY FOR SAME.
