BIDDING PROCESS

1.     First the auctioneer will use the traditional auction call to establish bids on the individual tracts/lots.

2.     Once bids are established for each individual tract, a bidder may create combinations of tracts. (simply add the bids of the individual tracts together and bid more than the total)  By bidding on a combination of tracts the bidder will get all of the tracts in the combination or nothing at all, if you are out bid.

3.     Then bidders on the individual tracts will be offered the opportunity to raise their bids to regain the lead.

4.     This process will continue back and forth for several minutes. The auctioneer may call bids on individual tracts, combinations or the entire property.  Until bidding stops and the property is SOLD!

5.     If at any point you would like to bid on the property in its entirety you simply bid more than the total price.

6.     It is very important that if your number appears anywhere on the bid board that you DO NOT LEAVE THE AUCTION as bids made on other tracts can put you back in the lead even if you don’t bid any more money!

OTHER TERMS & CONDITIONS

1. If the Seller determines that a boundary survey is required to establish a legal description, then a survey shall be prepared by Shuler Land Surveying of Bolivar, MO. The Seller and Buyer(s) shall share equally in the cost of the survey. Tracts purchased in combination shall receive a perimeter survey only, if any.

Therefore, the bid price for unimproved tracts or combinations of unimproved tracts shall be adjusted at closing to reflect the results of any required survey work, if the surveyed acres are different than the estimated acres. It is important to note that this adjustment shall reflect both additions to and subtractions from the estimated acres and subsequently the final purchase price. However, there shall be no prorated price adjustment for any tract or combination of tracts that contain building improvements.
