9) AUTO EXTEND FEATURE - Please note
when bidding, there is an auto-extend feature on this online auction system.
The auto-extend feature time frame is set by the auction company. For example
the auto-extend feature is set at 1 minute - If someone bids in the last 1
minute immediately prior to the end of the auction on that item, the online
auction system will automatically extend the bidding time for a 2 minute
increment (and will continue to do so) until there is a 2 minute period (after
the original closing time) where no one bids, then the auction on that item
will close. This feature will leave the bidding open for any item that has
received a bid within the last 2 minutes prior to close and from the last
recorded bid time, even if the ending time has been reached. This feature has
been added to eliminate sniping and to make the online bidding process more
fair and to resemble a 'live' auction. Keep in mind that seconds are not
recorded with bid entries. A bid recorded at 5:30 and 40 seconds will have a
recorded bid time of 5:30. Bid & refresh immediately and often.
10) REMOVAL AND FAILURE TO REMOVE -
All purchases must be removed from the auction site without damaging any

the Auctioneers and their licensees, employees and agents, against any and all
damage caused by the acts of the Buyers and/or their agents, employees,
etcetera, in connection with the dismantling, rigging, hot cutting, refrigerant

This non-delivery period extends from the fall of the hammer until the time
