Please read the following terms and conditions, prior to bidding. If you have not read all of the terms and conditions for this auction, DO NOT BID.
Buyer’s Premium: 15% buyers premium is added to all purchases.
Sales Tax: 6% per Greenville County.
Payment Options: Payment for invoices greater than $2,000.00 must be made by wire transfer, cashiers check, or cash. For wire transfer instructions, please email info@terryhowe.com. For purchases of less than $2,000.00, the credit card (Visa or Mastercard only) on file will be charged for the full amount of purchases within one hour of the end of the auction. If you wish to arrange for an alternative payment method for your purchases, you must notify the auctioneer before the close of bidding. Cash purchases must be paid for with exact change only. Personal checks or company checks will not be accepted.
Merchandise becomes the full responsibility of the bidder at time of payment, and the bidder assumes all risk of loss and damage to property at that time.
Registration: By registering and bidding for the auction, you agree that you have read and agree to abide by all terms and conditions contained herein. When you register for the auction, you will receive a bidding number via email. This bidding number is valid for all online auctions conducted by Terry Howe & Associates, Inc.
When you register and place your first bid for the auction, your credit card number on file will be authorized for $1 to validate the credit card. This is only an authorization, and it will be automatically credited back to your account.
Any bidder who does not comply with the terms and conditions will have their bidding privileges revoked.
Staggered Closing: This online only auction has a staggered closing. The staggered closing works as follows: All items will close in increments of 1 item every minute, until all lots are closed. The first lot will close at 12:00 PM. The next lot will close at 12:01 PM, etc.
Extended Bidding: This online only auction has an extended bidding feature. The closing time of a lot is automatically extended 5 minutes whenever a bid is placed in the last 5 minutes of the lot’s closing time. The bidding for the lot will close when a period of 5 minutes has expired without an additional bid.
Maximum Bid: When you place a bid under the Maximum Bid Column, the online bidding system will enter your bid as the next required bid and continue to bid for you up to your Maximum Bid amount. For example, if the next required bid is $5,000.00, and you enter $10,000.00, then the online bidding system will immediately enter your bid as $5,000.00. The online bidding system will continue to bid up to $10,000.00 on your behalf using the preset auction increments as other bidders place their bids.
If you are the high bidder at $5,000.00 with a Maximum Bid of $10,000.00, and another bidder places the next required bid of $5,250.00, then the online bidding system will bid for you at the next increment of $5,500.00, and so on. If at such time a bidder places a bid that is higher than your Maximum Bid, then you will be outbid. If you are not outbid, then it is possible that you may win the bid for an amount less than your Maximum Bid.
Removal: If you cannot have all of your purchases removed by the end of the removal period, DO NOT BID. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE TO REMOVAL DATE. No refunds or charge-backs will be granted due to a lack of removal during the designated times.
Terry Howe & Associates, Inc. does not provide labor, equipment, tools or supplies needed to package or remove purchases. Please bring sufficient tools and labor. Purchaser is responsible for proper disconnection of all appliances.
Damages: Any damages caused by a purchaser or other party during the inspection period or during the removal period must be made good by the purchaser or party causing the damages.

All items are sold “as is, where is”. Item descriptions have been derived from sources believed to be correct; however, neither the seller nor the auctioneer guarantees these descriptions. RELY ON YOUR OWN PERSONAL INSPECTION. The failure of any bidder to inspect, or to be fully informed as to the condition of the property, its age, value or other determinative factor, will not constitute grounds for any claim or demand for adjustment or withdrawal of bid.
Agency: All transactions are between the seller and the buyer. The auctioneer is acting only as the seller’s agent.
Winning Bidder Notification: If you are the winning bidder for a lot or group of lots, you will be notified with an invoice via email within 1 hour of the close of the auction.
