Interbid does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or secure access to the auction sites, and operation of the sites may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. The audio stream of a live auction event, is for entertainment purposes only.

2.  AUCTION INFORMATION.  Intending bidders need to be aware of the information about the auction available from the www.mcdonaldauctions.com.au web site, in particular where a buyers premium is payable, what taxes are payable, the methods of payment and times of inspection and collection. Bidders are advised that there may be an additional charge, if McDonald Auctions are required to pack up goods for shipping.

3.  FAULTS AND MIDESCRIPTION RULE.   All lots are sold as they are, and the sale shall not be invalidated by reason of any defect or faults in any of the lots by reason of, any of the lots being incorrectly described in the catalogue or elsewhere, or missing parts or quantities, and neither the sellers nor the Auctioneer shall pay compensation in respect of any faults or errors of description, parts or quantities. All lots are offered for sale "as is", in its present condition without any representations or warranties of any kind or nature, as all lots are available for inspection prior to the auction.

4.  BUYERS PREMIUM AND OTHER CHARGES.   In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay McDonald Auctions the Buyer's Premium together with any applicable taxes in the place of sale. The Buyer's Premium charge is applied to the hammer price after bidding concludes. The Buyer's Premium amount is specified in the Terms and Conditions and in the auction information.

For further information please refer to the full terms and conditions published at https://www.mcdonaldauctions.com.au/bidder-registration/terms-and-conditions/.

5.  AUCTIONEERS DISCRETION.  The Auctioneers decision is final and there will be no negotiation after the fall of the hammer. The auctioneer has total discretion in choosing to accept a bid from the Internet or from the floor and may, without giving any reason, refuse to accept the bidding of any person or persons. Where the value of a lot is well known, it can be very important who gets the bid in at the expected sale price and very frustrating for live or Internet bidders when they consistently miss out. Because bid limits are kept secret even placing a limit well ahead of time does not improve a bidders chances of being selected for key bids. If you can, its always best to attend the auctions in person.
