Allis-Chalmers Collection of Dewayne Day Online Auction!

GENERAL:

All items are sold AS IS, WHERE IS with no warranties or guarantees.

Metzger Property Services accepts preview requests for further inspection of item(s) prior to bidding. If you are inspecting a vehicle or motorized item, Metzger Property Services only allows the item to be started to hear it run or operate -- it is NOT allowed to be driven.

All auctions are a soft close, unless otherwise listed, meaning that the auction does not end until all bids are completed. Lots close out 1 at a time. There is a countdown on the lots to let you know how much time remains on each lot. If any bidding happens in the last 2 minutes of the lot ending, the time does extend another 2 minutes. It is highly recommended that you are in the auction watching the lots close, not in your watchlist.

Metzger Property Services reserves the right to reopen an auction or bid if there are technical difficulties, to allow for fair bidding. Previous winning bids may no longer be valid in this situation.

Metzger Property Services reserves the right to use stock images for products. Products may not come assembled as shown in stock image. Buyers are responsible for reviewing all photos listed and/or scheduling a preview.

Once a bid has been placed and confirmed, it cannot be retracted. By placing a bid, the buyer agrees bid retraction is disruptive and interferes with the auction.

Payment is due the day following the auction at the scheduled pick up, unless otherwise stated on the auction. Metzger Property Services is not responsible for checking accounts for updated information including but not limited to addresses, phone numbers, valid credit cards, email addresses, etc.

Buyer accepts the terms by entering and bidding in the auction and recognizes that items are to be forfeited 5 days following the auction and that he or she is still responsible for all costs due regardless of the item(s) still being available. 

All auction end times and loadouts posted are in Eastern Standard Time, unless otherwise noted.
