Conditions of Sale

Terms and Conditions

Bidding on any item indicates the bidder's acceptance of the following terms and condition. It is the responsibility of the buyer to check federal, state and local laws governing the purchase, possession and transportation of all items. Our offer for sale is void where prohibited by law.

1. There is a 15% buyers premium for this sale which will be added to the final bid price on each item and will be the same if you pay by cash, check or credit card. (no extra credit card fee)

2. As this is a timed online auction, Lot 1 will begin to close at 6:00 pm EDT. Each successive lot will start to close one minute after the next. These will be soft closes so any bid received within 5 minutes of the end closing time will extend the bidding for another 5 minutes so everyone can have the opportunity to bid. Important: During this time, please refresh your screen often to enable you to see the latest bid on the item.

3. Accepted methods of payment are cash, check, credit card, wire transfer or major credit cards accepted through the AuctionZip/Invaluable website (WePay). To use the credit card option, just pay the invoice you receive from us by hitting the "submit secure payment" button on the online invoice and that will charge the card you have used to register with the auction. If you have not paid your invoice in 5 days then we will automatically charge the credit card you used to register unless we hear from you to do otherwise. We reserve the right to ask for payment in a wire transfer based on buyer's geographic location, amount owed, and past buying history on the Invaluable/AuctionZip systems.

Please note that WePay, which is the credit card processor of the Invaluable/AuctionZip platform does not allow payment to be made on vehicles and some other items such as guns, knives and other weapons. We have indicated on the description of the item if this applies to the lot. If you desire to use a credit card for these purchases, please call Pam Murphy at 859-274-6605. You may also pay for these items with cash or check when picking up.

There is a handling charge of $35.00 for any returned check. Currency is U.S. Dollars.

4. All items that are purchased must be paid for within 5 calendar days of the auction (July 15, 2022). An invoice will be emailed to all winning bidders on Sunday night after the close of the auction. Caswell Prewitt Realty reserves the right to hold all purchases until checks or credit card transactions have cleared to the satisfaction of Caswell Prewitt Realty and its bank. All items purchased in the auction must be paid for before being picked up. Any lots won and not paid for within 5 calendar days may be sold to the backup or another bidder. This is especially true when we do not hear from the successful bidder on their plans to pay their invoice.

5. Sales Tax: Residents of Kentucky will be charged a 6% state sales tax that will be applied to all sales unless a KY tax exemption certificate has been completed and signed prior to payment and pickup of items. Out of state sales tax exemption ID numbers may be used when completing the KY tax exemption form. Kentucky state sales tax will not apply to items shipped out of state via Common Carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.) but WILL apply to items purchased by out of state buyers and picked up in the state of Kentucky.

6. Your bid is a contract. Do not place a bid that you are unwilling or unable to honor. If you are declared the winning bidder you have entered into a legally binding contract to purchase the property offered. If you have questions about an individual item, please contact the auctioneer before bidding. In addition, bear in mind that shipping expenses are to be paid by the buyer so realize that if you live afar or are buying a piece of furniture, you will need to make arrangements for that and you should have an idea of cost prior to placing the bid.

7. The high bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer shall be the purchaser of that lot. The Auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once an item is declared as "sold", the successful bidder assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot.
