Any Buyer having someone, other than themselves, pick-up their purchases must notify the Strathroy Auction Services in advance. All people picking up items must show a copy of a fully paid invoice.

The Strathroy Auction Services, in its sole discretion, may void a sale, temporarily suspend bidding and re-sell any items/lots that were affected by any malfunction. The decision of the Strathroy Auction Services is final. As a Bidder you are responsible for any bids placed under your bidding number and password. The security of your Bidder information is your sole responsibility as you, the Bidder, will be responsible for any and all bids placed under your number. If at any time you feel that your Bidder number and password have been compromised due to lack of security on your part, you must notify the Strathroy Auction Services immediately. Please be advised that some items in our auctions may appear to be the same items as seen in previous auctions. In some cases, it's unfortunately necessary for us to relist items due to winning bidders not paying for items or items getting abandoned post auction. We endeavour to minimize this from happening as our goal is to have all items in our sales sell to legitimate bidders who intend to follow through on items they win. Please note that at no time does Strathroy Auction Services attempt to buy back items for purposes of relisting in future sales. By using this site, you, the Bidder, agree in advance to accept all rules, terms, and conditions, and any such possible changes thereto. Strathroy Auction Services is acting as Agent for the Seller. What does "SOFT CLOSE" mean? Items close on a timed schedule. Any bids placed in the last 2 minutes of the auction will cause the auction item to stay open for an additional 2 minutes. This will continue until all bidding has ceased. What is "MAXIMUM BIDDING"? Bidders may place a maximum bid on each item. Your initial bid will increase automatically, each time you are outbid, up to your maximum bid. If a competing bid is above your maximum bid, you will be required to bid online again, if you want to be the successful bidder. Your use of this auction site marks your acceptance in full of these Terms and Conditions and any such possible changes thereto.
