CONDITIONS OF ITEMS SOLD & OUR ONLINE CATALOGUE
Our best efforts are made to represent all items accurately in descriptions and photographs; however, all items are ultimately sold on an 'as is, where is' basis, untested and or with damage.
It is important to attend the previews to personally inspect the condition of each item during the scheduled preview times.
No responsibility is assumed by Silent Bidders or the seller for any errors or omissions in the catalogue.
In the case of a discrepancy between the description and the photographs, the photographs take precedence over any written descriptions.

No claims regarding goods purchased will be allowed. Bidders are reminded that all goods are sold on an 'as is, where is' basis, untested and with possible damage.

PERSONAL & PROPERTY RISKS
We will not be liable for damage or injury to individuals or their property.

ADDITIONS & DELETIONS
We reserve the right to remove and / or add lots and / or items to the sale at any point during the auction.

On occasion an item (s) is sold with the Reserve. If this occurs, it will be clearly marked and identified. For items sold with a 'reserve', you will be required to pay a minimum amount in order to win the item.

AUCTION RECORDS
In the unlikely event of a dispute, you agree to accept as true that the information we have in our records.

SOFT CLOSE
Items close at regular step intervals.
To prevent a bidder from 'sniping', all bids made at the last minute of the auction will force an item to stay open for an additional 1 minute.
This will continue until all bidding has ceased.

STRATEGY
We recommend that ALL BIDDERS put in their maximum bid when placing a bid online. This does not mean you will have to pay the amount you bid; you only pay one bid more than the next highest bid, and only up to your maximum bid.
The software system will play out the bids as you would at a live auction and only use the funds required to beat out the under-bidder at the prescribed bid increment.

CATALOGUE ERRORS & OMISSIONS
If a description does not match a picture in a lot, the photograpgh will take precedence.
All items are sold on an 'as is, where is' basis, with all faults.
Please attend the preview before bidding.

By bidding you are acknowledging agreement with the terms above. Bids cannot be removed once you have placed them.

Please do not bid unless you agree to all of these terms.
