The shop is located in a business complex on the ground level with no loading dock. All the heavy equipment is on the ground level. There is plenty of room for almost any type of vehicle to turn around, backup, load, etc. however we do want to be respectful of the other business in the area.

DISCLAIMER: All lots sell as is, where is, with all faults. Braun and Helmer Auction Service and the seller do not give or make any type of guarantee or warranty regarding the lots to be sold, implied or otherwise.
Braun and Helmer Auction Service has attempted to provide accurate descriptions of all items, however, it is your exclusive responsibility as a bidder to determine the condition and suitability of each lot. Printed statements, descriptions and counts by Braun and Helmer Auction Service staff are provided in good faith and are matters of opinion.
The pictures and descriptions provide information on the condition. It is not the policy of Braun and Helmer to hide any issues or problems with the vehicles or equipment. If most cases we can provide additional pictures or information up to 24 hours prior to auction day.

BIDDING:
We recommend that you bid early and become familiar with the software. Not everyone has high speed internet and it might take longer for you to place your bids. Something to consider is that at the end of each auction item, there may several individuals trying to bid the exact same amount at virtually the same time. Because of this, we do not guarantee that your bids will be executed to your satisfaction.

The bidding increments for this auction will be in various increments dependent on the items value. Below are the Increments:
$5 up to $100
$10 up to $500
$25 up to $1,000
$50 up to $3,000
$100 up to $5,000
$250 up to $100,000
Beginning at the stated closing time, the auction software will conclude bidding for one lot each thirty seconds in catalog order with the following exception: if a bid is placed in the last-minute remaining for that auction lot, bidding for that lot will remain open for an additional minute. Some lots may be grouped together so that a bid on one lot will extend the time on all lots in that group.
The auction company reserves the right to reject any bids.

DAMAGES, LOSS, ETC: Merchandise becomes the full responsibility of the buyer at time of payment and the buyer assumes all risk of loss and damage to property at that time. Braun and Helmer Auction Service reserves the right to resell any property not paid for in full by the conclusion of the stated pickup period. In any such event, the Buyer will still be responsible for payment for the original purchase and the costs of collection of this payment and/or damages resulting from the resale of the property.

DEBT COLLECTION & INTEREST CHARGES: The buyer agrees to pay all reasonable attorney fees and other costs incurred by Braun and Helmer Auction Service in its efforts to collect unpaid funds from the buyer.

Any debt collection or dispute proceedings will be heard in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Limitation of Liability If, for any reason, Braun and Helmer Auction Service is unable to make available or deliver any Purchase, or portion thereof, or documentation required in respect of any Purchase, the sole liability of Braun and Helmer Auction Service, if any, shall be the return of monies paid in respect of such Purchase upon its return by Purchaser.

NON-PAYING: In addition to the above, understand that we are working for our seller. We have zero tolerance for non-paying bidders and we will proceed aggressively to rectify such situations.
