There are some items of considerable age and in used condition, and may exhibit wear, usage, repairs and damage. Bidder acknowledges that all used/not new items are available for inspection prior to the auction and the bidder shall solely rely on personal inspection to determine the item's condition. Neither Sharpless Auctions nor the consignor makes any warranties or representations, express or implied, as to the title, merchantability, fitness or condition with respect to all lots. Bidder's failure to inspect, or otherwise be fully informed as to the condition, age, geniuneness, value or any other determinative factor of any item will not constitute grounds for any claim, adjustment, refund, termination of the contract for sale or refusal to close the sale.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Sharpless Auctions shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions in the description of any auction item. No deduction will be allowed on damaged items.
2. PLEASE NOTE: For first time and/or out of state bidders, your auction registration is pending until reviewed and approved by management. Please register 24 hours PRIOR to the auction for us to complete the approval process.

11. BIDDING: When you bid your max, the current bid does not automatically go to your max bid. Someone else must bid to increase the current price and the computer will automatically bid up to your max in the increments specified. If two people bid the same max bid on an item, the first person to place the bid will be the winning bidder. Sharpless Auctions will not be responsible for bids that do not go through. The best way to ensure your bid is accepted is to enter your max bid BEFORE the auction ends. By bidding, you enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you committed to buy an item, your offer for an item is accepted, or if you have the winning bid. The binding contract is between the Bidder and the Owner/Consignor.
