Jacksonville, FL: Hot Tub, Swim Spa, Outdoor Kitchen & Patio Living Inventory Liquidation

 

All items offered for sale at the Auction ("Items", "Property", "Product", "Purchases") are offered by Auction Management Corporation ("Auctioneer"), as Seller's agent, subject to the following Terms and Conditions of Sale, which, combined with any specific terms as posted in materials and on the web, make up the Complete Terms and Conditions of Sale.

 

Extension Feature: This auction features an automatic bid extension on each lot. This feature will leave the bidding open for any item that has received a bid within the predetermined number of minutes from the last recorded bid time, even if the initial ending time has been reached. This feature has been added to eliminate sniping and to make the online bidding process more like a 'live' auction.

 

Buyer’s Premium: A(n) 18% Buyer’s premium will be added to the winning bid of each item purchased. For example, a $1,000 bid would result in a $1,180 Purchase Price.

 

 

Payment: Payment must be made via CREDIT/ DEBIT, or WIRE TRANSFER ONLY. Invoices totaling MORE than $2,500 must be paid via WIRE TRANSFER only. NO Checks or Cash will be accepted. 

 

Payment must be received by Thursday, December 12, 2024, at 5 PM ET after Seller approval. After this deadline, we will charge the Buyer’s credit card on file for the balance due. Wire transfers must be initiated ASAP, and receipt or evidence of the transaction must be sent to the Sale Manager. Any items remaining unpaid 24 hours after Seller approval will be considered abandoned and resold. **Any bidders not paying for their purchase(s) will be prohibited from participating in future auctions.**

 

Bidding: All bids must be submitted using the online bidding system. Buyers are responsible for confirming their bids for accuracy. Selecting the Review Bids function at any time may do this. Bidders will receive outbid notifications via email until the last day of the auction, after which time you must log in to the bidding site to confirm your bids. Auctioneer provides Internet bidding as a service to Buyers using a Third Party Bidding System. Under no circumstances shall Buyer hold Auctioneer liable for system failures resulting in Buyer’s bid not being properly submitted. This auction uses staggered closing times and dynamic closing. This means 1 item every 60 seconds will close in numerical order, and bids received in the final minutes before an item’s scheduled close time will extend the bidding an additional 5 minutes. Similar items may be set in a “group extension,” and none of these lots will close until all of them have not received any bids for 5 minutes. Auctioneer reserves the right to add to, group, withdraw, or re-catalog items in this auction, as well as adjust minimum bids or reserve prices and extend or shorten closing times.

 

Representations: All items are being sold As-Is with no warranty. Auctioneer shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness of or defect in any lot and makes no warranty in connection therewith. On-site inspection of items being sold is recommended. Auctioneer makes every effort to provide accurate information about the items being sold. However, neither Auctioneer nor its Client will assume responsibility for Buyer’s bidding errors. It is Buyer’s full responsibility to confirm the accuracy of items offered for sale. Buyers are recommended to inspect all items. Descriptions and photos are offered as a guide only. Do not rely solely on photos to make buying decisions; be sure to read descriptions and personally inspect the assets. Auctioneer shall not be held responsible for such errors as posting the wrong photo for an item. When in doubt about the condition of an item, please bid accordingly.
