1. REGISTRATION. All bidding is open to the public. However, you must first read the terms and conditions before registering to bid as they are strictly adhered to and contain important information. 2. MULTI-PLATFORM BIDDING. All auctions are conducted simultaneously across multiple online bidding platforms. Bids shown as a “Floor Bidder?? represent bidders participating from another platform.You may appear as the High Bidder on your selected platform but must outbid all competing bidders across every platform to win the lot. Platform notifications or pop-ups may not reflect the final result; the invoice issued by Swisher Bros. Auction determines the official winning bid. Pre-bidders are encouraged to bid at least one increment above their intended maximum. However, bidding LIVE during the auction provides the best opportunity to secure your item, as it allows you to continue bidding in real time against competing bidders. 3. PAYMENT. Invoices will be sent within 24 hours after the sale. Please make your payment online where available, during pick up with cash or good check or by credit card (3% card fee applies).

Occasionally pick up will be at the seller's location, in the event of an on-site pick up, Lot 1 will have the pick-up information, times and general city. The full address will be included on the winning bidder's invoice to protect the seller's privacy. On a rare case-by-case basis we may be able to make an exception to the pick-up times for in-house pick-up only. A $10 per day storage fee will apply. Any items that are brought from an off-site location back to our building because of a bidder's failure to comply with the pick up times will require a $25 transport fee. 5. SHIPPING.
