Terms & Conditions

“GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS”:
*PLEASE READ*…
These terms and conditions are “General Terms & Conditions” for AAA Auction & United Surplus Auctions. These terms & conditions apply to most auctions conducted. However, from time to time, we may conduct auctions that will have different terms, buyer’s premium and/or fees, taxes charged, etc.

Though, the payment method and location to make payments should never change, every auction and seller will have different inspection dates and times and/or item removal dates and times. Please pay close attention to each individual auction’s terms and conditions for any changes or differences from these “General Terms & Conditions”.

ADDITIONAL FEES:
All items will be subject to a 10% Buyer’s Fee that will be added to the final bid.

*EXAMPLE…if you bid $500, your total out of pocket purchase price will be $550 / Bid $1,000 = $1,100 / $10,000 = $11,000, etc.

“Special” auctions may have their own unique buyer’s premium or fee.

We may, from time to time, have “special” auctions that have a flat buyer’s fee, such as $100.

*EXAMPLE…you bid $500 your total out of pocket price would be $600 / bid $1,000 = $1,100 / Bid $10,000 = $10,100, etc.

Each auction and/or Seller will have its own SPECIFIC inspection day/days and times.

AAA AUCTION/UNITED SURPLUS AUCTIONS does our best to accurately describe all merchandise, however, we make no representations on the condition, working condition, usefulness, description errors or omissions, year, make, model, mileage, hours, authenticity, accuracy, genuineness, or any other information on any item or items sold.

AAA AUCTION/UNITED SURPLUS AUCTIONS is an acting agent for the Seller and ALL representations made in print, online, or verbal are made on behalf of the Seller. AAA AUCTION/UNITED SURPLUS AUCTIONS or any of its affiliates will not be held responsible for any act or misrepresentations of the Seller. Any recourse or action must be directed and settled between the Bidder and the Seller.

We highly RECOMMEND and ENCOURAGE every bidder to preview and inspect each and every item BEFORE bidding. ANY and ALL bidding without previewing and inspecting is STRONGLY discouraged.

 

REMOVAL OF PURCHASED ITEMS:
Each auction and/or Seller will have its own removal day/days and times.
Each Seller will have their own terms regarding removal of items.

All items MUST be removed, without damaging any property, by the advertised deadline, unless other arrangements are agreed upon between the Seller and the Buyer.

If the purchased items are not removed by the advertised deadline or the agreed upon arrangement between the Seller and Buyer, Buyer will forfeit all monies paid and items will be re-listed, re-sold or returned to service without notice and with no recourse.

 

TITLE PAPERWORK:
AAA Auction & United Surplus Auctions are required by Arkansas State Law to fill out ALL titles and paperwork with the appropriate Bidder information.

WE WILL NOT LEAVE TITLES AND PAPERWORK BLANK – NO EXCEPTIONS!

 

DYNAMIC CLOSE:

All items are scheduled to close at a specific time. However, we use an AUTO EXTEND or a DYNAMIC CLOSING feature on ALL our online bidding platforms. Therefore, bidding will remain OPEN on any item that receives a bid within a pre-determined time, prior to the scheduled closing time. Every time a bid is placed, a time extension will be added to the original closing time and to each extension closing time.

EXAMPLE…if the pre-determined extension time is set for “5” minutes and an item is scheduled to close at 1pm, and a bid is placed between 12:55pm and 1:00pm, the closing time will be extended by “5” minutes or 1:05pm. If a bid is placed within the next “5” minute interval, then bidding close time will extend another “5” minutes or 1:10pm, etc. When a “5” minute extension interval has passed without any bids, then the item will close and no more bids can be accepted. You may need to frequently, “manually refresh” your browser during the extensions to see all other bids placed and verify you are still the high bidder.

 

ANTI-SNIPING:

Some auction platforms allow and even encourage “sniping”.

definition of “SNIPING” is…  the act of bidding on an item, literally seconds before the auction ends. This prevents anyone from outbidding someone else and eliminates “true” auction bidding.
