Beginning with Lot 1, lots will close in increments of 3-6 per minute, depending on the size of the auction, in numerical order, until all lots have been closed. On the final day of the auction, a Countdown Timer will appear next to each Lot, displaying the exact number of bidding hours/minutes remaining before the Lot ends.

It’s important to ‘Refresh’ your screen often to get the most updated bidding information & time remaining!

If a bid is placed on an item within 5 minutes of its’ scheduled closing time, the bidding time for that lot is automatically extended by 5 minutes to allow all interested bidders the opportunity to continue to compete for that item.

This Bidding Feature places automatic bids on your behalf, up to the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the item. Your bid is only increased when another Bidder places a bid higher than your current bid. If a Bidder places a bid higher than your Max Bid, you will lose your position as the Winning Bidder, the system stops placing bids on your behalf, and you are required to enter a new bid if you wish to continue competing for the item.

Note: This Bidding Feature is an efficient tool for Bidders who need to manage multiple bids.

If you are outbid on an item, you will receive an immediate Outbid Notification email. These notifications keep you updated on the status of the Bids you have placed.

Please Note: These notification are sent out only until the first lot closes. Once the 1st Lot closes, the system will no longer send these notices. You will be responsible to manually monitor the status of your bids at this time. You may review the status of your bids by clicking ‘Review Bids.’

To quickly review all of your bidding activity for an auction, click ‘REVIEW BIDS.’ This option is displayed next to the ‘SUBMIT BIDS’ option at the bottom of each bidding page.

Please review all bids carefully before submitting them. In the event a gross bidding error is made, please contact bill@bclauction.com immediately. We will review the circumstances to see if the bid may be reversed without affecting other participant’s bids on that item.

All assets will be open to a complete examination to all interested parties during the scheduled Public Inspection. The date, time & location of the Public Inspection will be posted for each auction. If you are uncertain of the condition or use of an item and are not able to attend the Public Inspection, please bid accordingly, as all Sales are Final.

Invoices are emailed to all Winning Bidders immediately following the close of the last item in the auction. This emailed Invoice will be the only notification you receive, so please check your inbox when the auction closes. The invoice will contain very important & time sensitive Payment & Item Removal Information, so please read the terms carefully.

Your credit card will automatically be charged for your purchase unless you notify peggy@bclauction.com by 6AM following the close of the auction. (Please see the Payment by Cash Requirements Instructions below!) It is very important that the credit card you register with is active with available credit. Upon Registration, our accounting department will verify your credit card. Bidders without a valid credit card on file will not be allowed to place bids. You may update your credit card on file by clicking the ‘Update Bidder Profile’ option.

If you would like to pay your Invoice by Cash or Company Check, you must follow the 2 Steps below, or your Credit Card will be processed:

Please report to the BCL Administration Desk upon arrival to the auction site to retrieve your ‘Paid Receipt.’ You must have this receipt in order to retrieve your items. If a 3rd party is retrieving your items, please notify peggy@bclauction.com so your items can be released.

This is the industry standard fee that is added to the total purchase amount of your Invoice. It is calculated as follows: Invoices paid by Credit Card are calculated with an 18% premium. Invoices paid by Cash receive a 3% Discount, so the premium is calculated at 15%. Example: If your purchase amount is $10.00, the total amount due for Credit Card Buyers is $11.80 and the amount due for a Cash Buyer is $11.50.

Removal shall be at the expense, liability, and risk of the purchaser. Buyer is responsible for all tools and labor required for the safe removal of their items. This includes the safe disconnection, dismantling, moving and removing of the items within the specified times and dates. Purchases will only be released upon presentation of a Paid Receipt and under the supervision of a BCL Auction Team Member. If a 3rd party is retrieving your items, pleas notify peggy@bclauction.com so your items can be released.
