11. This is a public auction and not a retail setting. All sales are final. No returns or chargebacks are

12. Pa Auction Center is not responsible for, and shall not be held liable for any errors, omissions of, or
failure to carry out an absentee bid, regardless of how the bid was submitted. This also includes any
technical failures that may arise during the auction that affect absentee bids, including internet
connections, telephones, computers, and networks.
12A. This is a live auction that offers online bidding through one or more internet bidding platforms. You
have three options for bidding: live in person, absentee by submitting a bid to the auctioneer before the
auction day, or online via pre-bids or the live bidding console on auction day. All internet and absentee
bids are considered pre-bids and will be presented to the auctioneer when the item enters the ring on
auction day. If you choose to leave a max bid on an internet bidding platform, please note that a tie bid
scenario may occur. Tie bids can occur due to pre-bidding on 2 different sites being the exact same price
when the item enters the ring or a flurry of bidding happening between floor bidders and the bid being
awarded to a floor bidder before the internet max bid could be recognized by the auctioneer. In the
event of a tie bid between an internet bidder, absentee bidder, or a floor bidder, the auctioneer
determines who is awarded the bid. As a result, an item may sell to a floor or an internet bidder on
another internet bidding platform for the same price as your max bid. We do not favor one bid over the
other nor do we favor a floor bidder over an internet bidder. For the best results, we recommend
following the auction live on auction day with the audio turned on which will always give you an
opportunity to bid again in the event of a tie bid prior to the item being sold.
