(Scroll down here for standard terms and conditions). Determining whether or not to conduct auctions during these unprecedented times was a difficult task. Like many businesses, we're continually monitoring the balance between public safety with the desire to keep our economy alive and serve our clients. This balance needs to be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis. We have based our plan on the information and guidelines from the MT Governor's website, however, we cannot guarantee there is no risk associated with engaging in a social activity at this time; we can only say we will do our best to minimize the risk with the guidelines we are following. According the current governor's directive attendees are required to bring and wear a mask when you are unable to social distance from others by at least 6 feet (some exemptions do apply please see the MT governor's directive on the Montana Governor's website). If you feel you are in one of the vulnerable categories due to age or health considerations, we would advise you to stay home and take advantage of our online bidding platform which will be available for many of the items. We believe it is your right to assess the risks involved, take your own precautions, and come to your own conclusion as to whether to participate in social activities during these trying times. THIS WILL BE A MOSTLY INDOOR AUCITON WITH ROOM TO SOCIAL DISTANCE BETWEEN GROUPS (therefore entrants may be limited), SO COME OUT AND BID LIVE IN PERSON IF YOU WOULD LIKE. WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU or BID ONLINE IF YOU ARE HIGH RISK, FEELING ILL OR PREFER TO 'PLAY IT SAFE' and save room for others. AGAIN... IF YOU ARE NOT FEELING 100% PLEASE STAY HOME AND BID ONLINE.

As part of our services to the Seller' all monies are made payable to Hagedorn Auction. Everything must be paid in FULL on auction day by cash or good check imprinted with Bidder's name & address (or if paying for online winning bids, payment will be according to online posted payment terms). Bad or NSF checks may be assessed penalties & interest until paid. Non-paying Buyers' or bad checks issuers will be prosecuted. 2) EVERYTHING shall be sold as is, where is' with NO guarantees of any kind, regardless of any statement of condition that may be made from auction staff, both verbal and written. The auction service is only presenting items as represented to us by the Seller or according to appearance. The auction service is NOT an expert appraiser or authenticator of antiques, coins, glass, guns, equipment, vehicles, real estate or other assets that may be auctioned. 3) Bidder must solely rely on his/her own inspection and knowledge about items on which they plan to bid. If you aren't sure about the condition or authenticity of an item and aren't willing to risk the amount of money it will take to win the bid on that item, then DO NOT bid on it. NO REFUNDS, RETURNS OR RESALES OF ANY KIND SHALL BE MADE (except per #4) 4) The successful Bidder for any electrical or gas powered equipment shall have 10 minutes from the time of their winning bid to plug-in or otherwise start up the item. If the item does not come on or start as hoped, they shall immediately notify auction personnel and the item shall then immediately be resold releasing the original Bidder from their purchase obligation. The original Bidder shall NOT be eligible to bid on the item when it is resold. If for any reason you will not be able to test the item out and return it within 10 minutes, either DO NOT bid on it or you must be willing to take the risk that it does NOT work. NO re-sales after 10 minutes have expired. 5) It is the Bidder's responsibility to know which item they are bidding on & what the bid/quantity is. If unsure, the Bidder should stop the auctioneer to inquire or NOT bid. Becoming the winning Bidder contractually obligates you to pay the full bid amount to the Seller and you will be expected to pay for these items in full before you go home. Leaving before all of your items are paid for in full does not relieve you of your legal obligation to pay for all items bid on and won. 6) While we diligently strive to conduct auctions that treat all Bidders fairly and according to these terms, the auction service is working solely in the best interest of their Client, the Seller. The Auctioneer reserves the right to accept any bid in any increment that, in their opinion, is in the best interest of the Seller and likewise also reserves the right to reject the bid, of any Bidder for any reason, which the auctioneer feels is not in the best interest of the Seller. Likewise we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for reasons of adverse conduct or disruptions.
