PRE AUCTION BIDDING – INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS
If you can not attend the auction the auctioneer can bid on your behalf in accordance with your instructions; this is known as a Pre-Auction Bid. A Pre-Auction Bid Form will be received by the Auctioneer if:
– It is made on the Auction Centre Bundaberg Pre –Auction Bid Form,
– The information required by the Pre-Auction Bid Form is duly completed by the Bidder
– The Pre-Auction Bid Form is signed by the Bidder
– The Pre-Auction Bid Form is received by Ray White Bundaberg no later than 9.45am the day of the auction
If a Pre-Auction Bid Form received by Ray White Bundaberg does not comply with the above requirements, it will not be eligible to be made at the Auction.
If two or more Pre-Auction Bid Forms for a specific lot are received and both show the same amount, the first Pre-Auction Bid Form received by Auction Centre Bundaberg’s office will be recorded as a pre-auction bid for that lot, and the other bid(s) for the same amount shall now be recorded as a pre-auction bid for that lot.
A bid from the floor for the same amount as the pre-auction bid will over-ride the Pre-Auction Bid.
Pre-auction bidders should confirm the success or failure of their bids by no later than 3.00pm on Auction Day by telephoning the Auction Centre Bundaberg on (07) 4155 9339.
All successful bids are to be paid for and collected by 4.00pm on the day of the auction. “Buy” or unlimited bids will not be accepted.
