To maintain auction integrity, no refunds will be issued for any reason. Our team is available to address any questions about items or the auction process.Item Descriptions and Photos:Please note: Items in photos may be grouped or connected for display purposes only. Each lot's contents are specifically detailed in the written description, not determined by the photograph.We recommend carefully reading each lot description to understand exactly what is included. The written information takes precedence over any visual representations.In rare instances, an incorrect photo may be displayed. Your thorough review of lot descriptions ensures informed bidding decisions. If you're unsure about a lot's contents, please contact our office for clarification before bidding.Bidding Responsibility and Finality:All bids are final, and you cannot remove or lower a bid once placed. We encourage you to conduct due diligence before bidding. If you're unsure about an item's condition, completeness, or suitability, please ask us beforehand.Bidding on the wrong item or changing your mind does not justify bid removal. Our clients cannot bear the cost of bidder mistakes. All sales are final, and no credit card chargebacks will be allowed. Buyers assume full responsibility for purchases when bidding ends and they're the highest bidder.Auction Company Rights and Policies:We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.The most recent correspondence with buyers via email or our website takes precedence over written material and any prior verbal statements.The auction company is not responsible for accidents, thefts, errors or omissions.The auctioneer reserves the right to add or remove items from the auction, split or combine lots, add minimum bids or reserve prices, cancel, suspend, extend or reschedule an individual item and/or auction event, or make changes to the auction closing, inspection, or removal times.These policies ensure a fair and efficient auction process for all participants. By participating in our auctions, you acknowledge and agree to these terms.BUYERS PREMIUM:A buyer's premium will be added to each purchase. Buyer's premium is 12% unless stated otherwise. If you bid $100.00, at checkout you will be charged $112.00. Each and every time you place a bid, you are required to confirm and agree to the bid.Extended Bidding and Staggered Endings Policy:Our auctions feature EXTENDED BIDDING. If a bid is placed on a lot within the last TWO minutes of the auction, bidding will extend on that lot for TWO minutes past the closing time. The lot will remain open until there are no bids during the extended time period. This only affects lots with last-minute bids. Lots without bids in the last two minutes will close as scheduled.Example: If you bid on a lot closing at 6:45 pm at 6:44 pm, it will extend until 6:47 pm. A bid at 6:46 pm will further extend it to 6:49 pm. The lot closes when the timer runs out. Check the countdown timer to see remaining bid time for any lot.Extending a lot's end time doesn't change subsequent lots' end times, so lots may close out of sequence.Our auctions use STAGGERED ENDINGS. When we say an auction closes at 6:45 p.m., this is when the system begins closing lots, but only a limited number at a time. Due to this staggered approach and extended bidding, auctions typically end later than the scheduled time. Please consider this when planning your bidding strategy, especially for lots later in the sequence.Maximum Bidding:This auction features MAXIMUM BIDDING. When you place your MAX BID, the current bid price increases only when others bid. The system automatically bids for you in specified increments up to your max. If outbid, you'll have the opportunity to enter a new MAX BID.You'll receive outbid notices via email. Please check your SPAM folders to ensure you don't miss these important notifications. If you can't monitor the auction closing, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND entering your MAX BID. Remember, you can raise your max bid, but you CANNOT lower it.For any questions, please call us at 636-344-0663.Bidding System Reliability:Higher Calling Auctions strives for a smooth bidding experience, but we're not responsible for internet issues, connection losses, or system glitches that may interfere with last-minute bids or notifications. High system traffic in the final seconds may delay bid processing. Plan your bidding strategy accordingly to avoid potential disappointment.Email Responsibility:A valid email address is required for auction participation. Ensure your server accepts our emails, as this is our sole communication method for all auction processes. If you're not receiving our emails, contact us promptly for troubleshooting.
