We receive bids at our auction through the following platforms: Liveauctioneers, Absentee bids through our web site www.hpcountryauctions.com, Absentee bids at our auction hall, and bids with a live audience at our auction facility. As such, it is possible that your internet bid matches the high bid received via one of the other methods mentioned previously - when this occurs, we cannot guarantee that your bid, though the same as the amount being asked for by the auctioneer, will be accepted. It is generally a timing issue that may cause this conflict and when a tie bid is present, the floor may receive priority at the auctioneers prerogative.

1. Auctioneer reserves the right to hold any merchandise until check or credit card funds clear. 2. As we have had a continued problem with non-paying bidders and unless other arangements are made, liveauctioneers will be notified of non-payment if payment is not received within 2 weeks of receipt of invoice. This may preclude you from bidding at any other liveauctioneer subscriber in the future.
