The auctioneer encourages all bidders to inspect lots in person before bidding. Next Level Auctions LLC has put forth every effort in preparing the catalogue for every auction to provide accurate descriptions of all items, however, it is the bidder's responsibility to determine the condition and suitability of each lot. Due diligence is the responsibility of the bidder. Printed statements or descriptions by the staff are provided in good faith and are matters of opinion. Any bidder's failure to inspect, or to be fully informed on the quality or condition will NOT constitute grounds for any claim, adjustment, refund, termination of the purchase contract, or refusal to close the sale. If you are unsure about any of the Terms and Conditions, bidding, or how to bid: IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY UNSURE AS TO ANY AND ALL MATTER HEREIN, NEXT LEVEL AUCTIONS LLC URGES YOU NOT TO BID. a. Photographs and Descriptions: The Auctioneer regularly posts item descriptions to the best of their knowledge and photographs to aid bidders in the bidding process, and we make every effort to ensure that the descriptions and photographs that we post accurately represent the items being offered for sale. In some photographs, multiple items may appear to be joined as a single unit, however, you should not assume that a lot consists of more than one item simply because various items appear connected or are featured in the same photograph. Also understand that, on occasion, the wrong photograph may be displayed for a given item. At all times, you are bidding on items as they are described on this website, not as they appear in any photograph. b. Bid Wisely: We want everyone to be pleased with their purchases. When you bid on the wrong item or decide an item is not suited for your intended use, our clients will not assume the cost of your mistakes. You agree that your failure to become fully informed about the item offered for sale in this auction will not be grounds for a refusal to pay amounts due to the Auctioneer nor for any claim or chargeback against the auctioneer.
