THE FINE PRINT:
This auction is a legally binding contract by the high bidder to purchase an item. All items are sold "AS-IS” & “WHERE IS" with no guarantees or warranties, expressed or implied, of any kind, including but not limited to condition, suitability or merchantability for any purpose. ALL SALES ARE FINAL, and NO credits or refunds of any kind are given. You are bidding and buying based upon your own inspection, your own determination of value, and your own decision to bid. All lot descriptions are not guaranteed by Beck Estates.
By placing a bid, buyers acknowledge that they have either inspected the item online, video, or obtained a satisfactory condition report from a third party. If previewing items in person note that the preview and lot site may be hazardous, if you are bringing young children, they must remain with you and under your watch. Beck Estates is not responsible for any injuries at the sale site and is held harmless.
Click the “Preview and Bid” link provided for the auction on which you want to bid, review items, and place bids. Once registered, you will enter an opening bid (this is visible to other bidders), and a maximum bid (this is hidden to everybody but you). Your bid is represented automatically until your maximum is reached. You will receive an “outbid” notice via email if somebody bids higher than you. Your opening bid will be the winning bid if no other bids are received. Please ensure that you have placed bids on the correct items, and that the amounts are correct, before you click the “submit” button. Bids cannot be cancelled once placed.
STAR: The star icon is a “watch” feature. By clicking on the star, items can be found in “Your Items” drop down menu. This feature allows you to save the items you are interested in and find them quickly when you want to bid.
RESERVES: You may be bidding on an item with a reserve. This is a confidential amount that is not revealed. Reserves are the minimum amount the consignor will accept for an item.
MAXBID: The MAXBID feature allows the computer to bid on your behalf until the MAXBID you specify. This protects you from losing an item to a "last minute bidder" for less than you might have been willing to pay. If you want to raise your bid, place a bid in the "MAX" area only! Please be aware that many bidders routinely increase their own bid to price an item out of reach of other bidders. You should immediately review your bids once submitted.
STAGGERED CLOSING: The online auction closes multiple items per minute. This feature will close the bidding at pre-determined intervals, in catalog order. There is a default time extension for items that receive active last minute bids. Closing speed will be 4 lots per minute.
BID NOTIFICATION: If you have been outbid you will be notified by email.
Please make sure you know what you are bidding on, as bids cannot be canceled. All sales are final. In the event of duplicate bids, the earliest bid will be recognized. In the event of a dispute between two or more bidders, the item may be put back up for resale. Beck Estates has the right to refuse any bid not corresponding with the value of the item being sold, and may reject any raise in the bidding which is less than the amount being called for. Beck Estates sale records shall be conclusive in all respects. Sellers may not bid on their own property. Pooling or collusive bidding are strictly prohibited and illegal.
Beck Estates reserves the right to cancel outstanding invoices if the specific payment terms are not met.
When the auction closes, an invoice will be emailed to you, please follow the links on the email to complete payment.
In the event of internet interruptions Beck Estates reserves the right to reopen or extend internet bidding for an auction as it deems necessary and appropriate.

Bidder hereby grants, and agrees to grant, a lien to Beck Estates on all purchased items and property of Bidder consigned for auction with Beck Estates including all proceeds thereof, until all sums due Beck Estates are fully paid.
