• Terms of Sale

ALL BIDS ARE FINAL AT AUCTION. At auction there is no “cooling off period.” If you are awarded the final bid, ownership changes hands at the drop of the gavel. You own the merchandise and are responsible for payment in full. No bidder may retract a bid made during the sale for any reason.

• Buyer’s Fee

A buyer’s fee is an amount charged by the auctioning dealer (RM Auctions, Inc., or other affiliated company (“RMA”)) for conducting the auction sale. If your bid price is accepted as the winning bid on any lot, you will be charged a buyer’s fee in addition to the accepted bid price. The buyer’s fee is part of the purchase price and is subject to sales tax, if applicable. Any terms and conditions posted at the auction premises, or which are posted on our website (www.rmauctions.com) from time to time, are incorporated herein by reference.

• Terms of Payment

Payment of 10% of the purchase price is due immediately upon the auctioneer’s declaration of sale. The balance is due in full on or before 3:00 PM on the next business day. All payments must be in the form of cash or certified funds unless other arrangements have been approved in advance. Cash payments will be reported according to U.S. Federal government requirements. Should a bidder default on payment in any manner whatsoever, without limiting any recourse RMA may have, bidder agrees to pay RMA all lost auction fees (which is the maximum published rates for (1) the seller’s commission, (2) the buyer's premium, and (3) the entry), this amount is due and payable without relief. Bidder will also be liable to seller for its damages. Bidder hereby authorizes RMA to deduct these lost auction fees from bidder's cash deposit, or to charge this amount to bidder's credit card provided. Bidder agrees not to dispute this charge with the credit card company at any time. Bidder agrees to also pay RMA’s costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees and costs.
