9a. Notice to internet bidders: Auctioneer has full discretion in the event of a tie bid and will recognize the bid that he/she sees first. Therefore, it is possible for an item to sell to a floor bidder at the exact bid left by an internet bidder. For example, if an internet bidder leaves a bid of $1000, but the auctioneers receives a floor bid for $1000 at the same time the internet bid comes across, the auctioneer may recognize the floor bidder and the item would sell at that bid to the floor bidder if there are no advances.

In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer, at his or her sole discretion, will determine the successful bidder or may re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute.
12. Submitting any bid on any item constitutes bidders acknowledgment and acceptance of all terms and conditions of sale.
