1. Types of Auctions

Online Only Auctions
All Alderfer Auctions are ONLINE except for select real estate auctions that may be conducted in front of a live audience (and online). Alderfer Auction has its own bidding platform for online bidding at alderferauction.com and on the Alderfer Auction App. The Buyer is responsible for all online bidding. Alderfer Auction cannot place bids on the buyer?s behalf, as the buyer must properly register his/her information.

Alderfer Auction or any of its staff shall not be held responsible or liable for any human or technical bidding errors, or internet bidding system shutdowns that may occur.

Live Online Auctions (Online Only Auction with Multiple Bidding Platforms)
Live Online Auctions are an online only auction using multiple bidding platforms. A Live Online Auction has pre-bidding until the start of the auction at which time pre-bidding will cease, and the auction will go live at the auction center (no live audience, just our auctioneer and auction staff). When the auction goes live, lots will be sold one lot at a time, in numerical order, by a live auctioneer who will be taking bids from multiple online bidding platforms, absentee and phone bids. During pre-bidding you can submit a ?Max Bid? (maximum bid). If you want to leave a max bid, make sure you are the highest bidder before you place your max bid. The bidding platform or our auction staff will bid on your behalf up to the maximum bid that you have entered. Once the auction goes live if you wish to increase your bid you will have to wait until that lot opens for bidding and enter any additional bids manually.
Alderfer Auction or any of its staff shall not be held responsible or liable for any human or technical bidding errors, or internet bidding system shutdowns that may occur.

Real Estate Live In-Person and Online Bidding
Real Estate Live and Online Auctions are conducted in front of a live audience and online. While the auctioneer is receiving bids from an assembled audience, phone and absentee bidders, the auctioneer is also taking bids from bidders who are bidding through the Alderfer Auction bidding platform in real time or by pre and live bidding. Following the auction the successful bidders are notified, and payment arrangements are made; applicable buyer?s premium applies.

Alderfer Auction or any of its staff shall not be held responsible or liable for any human or technical bidding errors, or internet bidding system shutdowns that may occur.
