BTA will offer a 3% discount for cash payments, which may be made at auction pick up, however Bidder must bring payment in exact amount specified on invoice, as change may not be available. * Sales Tax: Sales tax will be charged after all bids, fees, premiums, and totals have been calculated, then added to the Bidder's invoice, applicable to the rates and laws of the state and/or jurisdictions the auction(s) are/were held in.
