How AUTOMATIC BIDDING Works: (also known as: max bid, auto bid or proxybid)

Automatic Bidding (auto bid) option makes bidding convenient allowing you to enter the maximum bid amount* that you are willing to bid on an item. Based on your Account Preferences for notification, you may be notified whenever your auto bid increases &/or when it is exceeded.

The auction company or other bidders do not have access to see your auto bid amount. You are the only person that can see your auto bid amount (displayed in your Watch List).

Your auto bid will not “jump” to the maximum amount. The auto bid will increment up only with competing bids until either the item completes with you as the high bidder, or until your auto bid has been exceeded by another bid.

If another bidder already has an auto bid in place when you place your auto bid, the (2) competing auto bids will continue to increment until either the lower auto bid is maxed out; or if both auto bid amounts are the same the auto bid that was placed first will become winning position of the bid.

10% BUYERS PREMIUM will be added to the price of all purchases. 

All high bids are considered legal binding contracts and all sales are final. All items are sold "as is where is", with NO guarantee, warranty, or possible refund written, expressed, or implied. The working/running condition of an item may not be known and may not always be listed in the items description. Sometimes we do know and list the condition of the items, but many times we do not.  We will do our best to describe items accurately and as we see them!  Please note that all sales are final regardless of the purchase items condition, unless the discretion of an ARC Liquidation, LLC manager deems differently. 

All items sell AS IS - WHERE IS WITH ALL FAULTS and with no warranty of any type expressed or implied as to the merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any goods offered in this sale. All sales are made on an AS IS - WHERE IS WITH ALL FAULTS basis. All buyers are urged to physically inspect the item prior to bidding during the inspection period. No bids can be withdrawn once submitted before, during or after the auction for any reason. BUYER agrees that these terms as well as all other terms set forth below, can be amended or revised only in writing, signed by the auctioneer. BUYER also agrees that any oral representation made by the auction company or its agents shall not modify these "AS IS - WHERE IS WITH ALL FAULTS" terms. BUYER understands that any description given, written on the equipment, or advertised by any other means is not guaranteed, and BUYER will rely entirely on their own inspection. All information and descriptions contained in advertising this sale are believed correct, but no responsibility is assumed by Auction Co., or Seller for any errors or omissions.

This means that an items sale is contingent upon receiving the approval of the Bank, Court, Trustee or Lien Holders affiliated with that particular piece. Please call (219)227-9094 for the approvals on all items that sell subject and we will be happy to assist you.

Posted closing times and displays of Auction Co.'s current time are approximate. Auction Co. reserves the right to close early or extend auctions at any time at its discretion. It is strongly recommended that bids be placed early to avoid losing out due to an ill-timed, last minute bid. All times based on Central Standard Time. Dynamic bidding - The dynamic bid on this website is a feature that does NOT allow an item to sell at the end of the auction until there is 5 minutes of bidding inactivity. Example - An item is bid on at 7:55pm. An auction is scheduled to close at 8:00pm. When this bid is placed the ending time will automatically extend to 8:05pm. When another bid is placed at 8:01 the auction will extend until 8:10pm. This will give bidder 9 minutes to place another bid. If no bids are placed this auction will conclude at 8:10pm. The key to your dynamic bidding feature is that the auction extends from the preset closing time in 5 minute intervals, NOT 5 minutes from when you placed your bid.

Due to liability, we will not load any items into a customer’s vehicle. We will however get the items to your vehicle.  We do not have a loading dock available.

How INCREMENTAL BIDDING Works:

A bid may be placed for any amount equal to or greater than the current required bid amount, which means your bid amount is not required to be an increment of the posted bid increment.

Example:

· Current bid at $10.00 with a bid increment of $3.00.  

· Minimum bid required would be $13.00.· A bid may be placed for any amount equal to or greater than $13.00. · The bid amount is not required to be in increments of $3.00; therefore a bid could be placed for $17.00 or $76.00 or whatever amount you wish to bid as long as it is equal to or greater than the minimum bid required.

· The winning bid may end up at any amount. It may not be divisible by the stated increment. The winning bid will be the highest
