TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF Registration
a. By registering to bid or placing a bid you agree to be bound by all of these terms &
conditions and any other announced terms and conditions of sale or rules of the site.
All Internet bidders agree that bids placed on the Internet shall have the same legal
effect as if they were in attendance at the auction in person.
b. Payment: VISA, MasterCard, Amex & Discover are accepted. Payment will be
expected following the completion of the auction and upon buyer’s receipt of emailed
invoice. Cashier's check and wire transfer are available for payment, but this MUST be
arranged PRIOR TO SALE DATE.
c. All property is sold AS IS, and ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Property is open to thorough
public inspection. It is the Bidders responsibility to determine condition, age,
genuineness, value or any other determinative factor. Bidder shall be the sole judge of
value. Bidders who bid from off site and are not present at the live auction
acknowledge that they may not be able to inspect an item as well as if they examined
it in person. BROWN AUCTION shall endeavor to describe in detail each item and any
pertinent information about it via telephone prior to auction. If you have questions
about the merchandise, the time to ask questions is well in advance of the live
auction. If BROWN AUCTION agrees that the item was misrepresented BROWN
AUCTION will refund the Bidders purchase price to him/her. We want you to be happy
with your purchases. Thank you for your patronage.

Bidder. Under no circumstances shall Bidder have any kind of claim against BROWN
AUCTION or anyone else if the Internet service fails to work correctly before or during
the live auction. BROWN AUCTION will not be responsible for any missed bids from
any source. Internet bidders who desire to make certain their bid is acknowledged
should use the pre-bidding “Max Bid” feature and leave their maximum bid 24 hours
before the auction begins.

withdraw any item before or during the auction. Should a tie or a dispute arise
