Your bid is an irrevocable offer to buy the item or items at the bid price provided that your bid meets any reserve price (if applicable) and is the winning bid at the close of the auction. The winning bid on an item is the highest bid on that item. If there is a bid tie, the bid placed earliest would be the winning bid. The act of placing a bid on an item does constitute entering into a binding legal agreement with Gibbs Auctions and our consignor to buy the item or items at the winning bid price in agreement with the terms and conditions of both the item listing and rules of the site. It is your responsibility as bidder to resolve any questions you may have about an item by contacting and receiving an answer from the item's consignor or Gibbs Auctions prior to placing a bid. Please do not bid if you are unsure or have questions. Once you have placed a bid, it cannot be retracted/cancelled without the permission of Gibbs Auctions. All items may have a minimum bid and are subject to bidding increments.

Auctions cannot be extended due to technical issues you may experience. It is important to bid early to avoid any issues. Your bidder number and profile are not transferrable to any other persons or parties. Any and all bids made by a holder of the bidder number are the responsibility of the buyer.

Auctioneers have the option to cancel the sale and retain all payments and deposits made by the winning bidder or resell the item(s). " 2 % Buyer's Premium.
