Listen
Carefully!! When groups of items or like items are offered the
auctioneer will specify the terms prior to the sale. Watch out
for sets of chairs, glasses, dishes, etc. Quite often items are
sold by the piece, times your bid! For instance a set of chairs
offered has six chairs in set. That set will be sold by the piece,
times 6. (You bid $50, so the total would be $300.) You are not
spending $50 but $300! Pay attention! You are obligated to pay
for that purchase even though you may not have heard or though
you understood! What the auctioneer announces - stands.
We want you to have an enjoyable experience with no disappointments.
Thank
you for your participation and cooperation in the Shipshewana
Miscellaneous and Antique Auction.
