Conditions of Sale CONTRACT: Your bid is a legally binding contract. Upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, title will pass to the highest bidder, and the property is thereafter at the purchaser's sole risk and responsibility. Users must register and be approved to bid prior to the auction. Eldred's reserves the right to deny approval for any reason. If you are the winning bidder, Eldred's demands payment within seven (7) days of receiving your invoice. Eldred's will pursue payment through all available means, including legal action. If you do not intend to pay, DO NOT BID. Absentee Bids: Your maximum bid is kept confidential from the auctioneer. It is therefore possible, in the normal course of soliciting bids from other auction participants, that the auctioneer could sell an item to another bidder for the same amount as your maximum bid. This is a rare, yet unfortunate and unavoidable occurrence. THE WINNING BIDDER IS ALWAYS DETERMINED BY THE AUCTIONEER.
