This is a legal agreement between you, as a buyer or seller, and The SITE OWNER or Auction Co.
You must be at least 18 years old to bid.
Trucks & Auto Auctions (hereinafter referred to as Auction Co.) at its sole discretion, may ban from further use any buyer or seller which Auction Co. believes to have in any way misrepresented itself or any item selling, failed to abide by the terms, or conducted any improper auction behavior as determined solely by Auction Co. Any seller who misrepresented their items and any buyer who improperly fails to carry through with a purchase will be banned from any further use and may be subject to additional legal actions.
BUYER PAYMENT/NON-REFUNDABLE RESTOCKING FEE: Auction Co. RESERVES THE RIGHT to charge the credit card registered with your account up to 25% as a non-refundable restocking fee (minimum $25.00 charge) based on total purchase price during the auction or immediately following the auction. The non-refundable restocking fee (minimum $25.00 charge) will be charged when invoices are not paid in full in accordance with the auction specific payments terms. Note that the purchase price is the sum of the bid price, buyer’s premium, buyer's fee, and sales tax if applicable. At which time, all items are considered to be abandoned &/or forfeited to the Auction Co. Auction Co. reserves the right to relist/resell any and all items considered to be abandoned or forfeited when invoice is not paid in full and/or removed completely from auction location within auction specific terms for payment & removal. We do not accept partial payments. Invoices must be paid in full. All payments must be in U.S. Funds.
ALL ITEMS on the auction sell subject to the Auction Co.’s acceptance or rejection of the high bid.
NOTICE: BUYER’S PREMIUM: A buyer’s premium will be added to all purchases. This buyer’s premium varies, depending on the auction. The actual buyer’s premium in effect will be noted on the additional information page. You will see this additional information page when you click on the button to view the items that will be selling. You may also call us to find out the exact amount of the buyer’s premium for any auction. Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express cards are accepted.
How INCREMENTAL BIDDING Works:
A bid may be placed for any amount equal to or greater than the current required bid amount, which means your bid amount is not required to be an increment of the posted bid increment.
Example:
- Current bid at $10.00 with a bid increment of $5.00.
- Minimum bid required would be $15.00.
- A bid may be placed for any amount equal to or greater than $15.00.
- The winning bid may end up at any amount. It may not be divisible by the stated increment. The winning bid will be the highest
Refer to Automatic Bidding section for further explanation of the convenient method of placing an automatic bid.
How AUTOMATIC BIDDING Works: (also known as: max bid, auto bid or proxybid)
Automatic Bidding (auto bid) option makes bidding convenient allowing you to enter the maximum bid amount* that you are willing to bid on an item. Based on your Account Preferences for notification, you may be notified whenever your auto bid increases &/or when it is exceeded.
Other bidders do not have access to see your auto bid amount.
Your auto bid will not “jump” to the maximum amount. The auto bid will increment up only with competing bids until either the item completes with you as the high bidder, or until your auto bid has been exceeded by another bid.
If another bidder already has an auto bid in place when you place your auto bid, the (2) competing auto bids will continue to increment until either the lower auto bid is maxed out; or if both auto bid amounts are the same the auto bid that was placed first will become winning position of the bid.
Example #1:
1. Minimum bid is at $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment.
2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid for $75.00.
3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00.
4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $25.00.
5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:
Bidder #1 - $10
Bidder #2 - $15
Bidder #1 - $20
Bidder #2 - $25 (maximum auto bid placed)
Bidder #1 - $30 (high bid position)
Example #2:
1. Minimum bid is $10.00 with a $5.00 bid increment.
2. Bidder #1 places an auto bid of $25.00.
3. No other auto bids are in place, therefore Bidder #1 is high bidder at $10.00
4. Bidder #2 places an auto bid for $25.00 (same amount as Bidder #1 auto bid)
5. Bids would compete with each other as follows:
Bidder #1 - $10
Bidder #2 - $15
Bidder #1 - $20
Bidder #2 - $25
Bidder #1 - $25 (high bid position)
The high bid is $25 with Bidder #1 in high bid position because Bidder #1 placed the $25.00 auto bid before Bidder #2.
*Buyer’s premium and sales tax will be in addition to the winning bid amount.
Removal and Failure to Remove. All purchases must be removed from the auction site without damaging any property and within the time announced or posted. All costs, responsibility and risk of such removal shall be borne by buyer and, in every case; buyer will use prudence and care in such removal.
