Items for Sale
  1. By submitting an absentee / phone bid you are entering a contract with Remmen Auction Service and will take full responsibility to honor any and all bids we execute for you. Your absentee / phone  bid will be entered just as if you are present at the auction and bidding yourself. A $7.50 handling charge for each successful absentee bid will be added to the selling price. The auctioneer will notify successful bidders within 1 to 3 days after the auction (please include your phone number and email address). Payment in full, plus postage, insurance and handling are required within 7 days of notification and before any item is shipped or delivered to buyer. A credit card number may be required to secure absentee bids unless known by auction company. Please allow 2-4 week for delivery for all absentee purchases. All Items must be insured  by buyer before shipped. Remmen Auction will not be held responsible for any items damaged during shipping. We will provide buyer with necessary documents required by shipper to file a claim, and shall be excluded thereafter.
  2. If there is a tie bid between an absentee / phone bidder and an attending bidder, the bidder in attendance will always take precedence. In the event of a tie bid between absentee bidders, the earliest bid received will take precedence. Remmen Auction Service offers absentee / phone bidding as a convenience and will not be held responsible for errors or failure to execute bids. If someone in the audience is bidding for you, all items must be paid for before leaving the auction premises unless prior arrangements have been made.
  3. Items are bid on in excellent condition with no damage OR as listed in the brochures. We will always do our best to describe each item as accurately as possible. Bids will not be carried out if damage to any item is found during the auction.
