We have already had an overwhelming positive response from individuals who feel it is much more convenient than hotel stays and traveling great distances. We hope that you find this service well worth it too. The buyers premium is 10% for those people attending and making purchases in person at the auction in Williamsport, IN. 4.

Items offered are part of a live auction at Stout Auction's Indiana gallery. Items are offered in numerical order and are auctioned at a pace of approximately 125 lots per hour. Please note eBay's Time Remaining time stamp IS NOT an accurate reflection of the hour at which the lots will be offered. Absentee bids left on eBay Live Auction ARE NOT the same as bids left with the auction house directly. They are executed from a proxy computer terminal in the room against other Internet bidders. Other competitive bids include bidders on the telephone, in the room, and absentee bids with the auctioneer. eBay does not provide the ability for auction houses to incorporate absentee bids from eBay Live Auctions with those left directly with the auction staff. Thus tie bids may occur between eBay absentee bids and other bidders. Tie bids are broken by the order in which the auctioneer accepts the bids NOT when the bids were entered with eBay. This is due to the fact that eBay does not release to Stout Auctions the actual top bid amount but rather each consecutive increment as the live bidding progresses.
