1. Buyers Premium- A 10% (ten percent) buyer’s premium will be added to the winning bid of all lots (example: a $50 winning bid will be charged $55.00).
2. You must register an account on-line. For technical issues please phone 248.882.0834 well in advance.
3. Extended Bidding: All lots close simultaneously—the stated closing time of the auction. However, we honor a 15 (fifteen) minute rule that is in effect beginning at the stated closing time of the auction. If, and only if, you have bid on a lot before the auction closing you may bid on that specific lot until no additional bids have been logged on that specific lot for fifteen minutes. Any lot that has zero or a single bid will end at the stated closing time of the auction and be awarded to the single bidder. The 15-minute rule pertains to each lot individually and each lot will close after fifteen minutes without a new bid on that lot. If a bid is placed, the 15-minute timer will be reset for that lot. To avoid being shut out of a lot that you want please place your initial bid well before the stated close of the auction.
