Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. has put forth every effort in preparing the catalog for this auction to provide an accurate description of the property. Real Estate selling AS IS and neither the Seller nor Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. make any warranties or representations, express or implied, as to the habitability or condition of the real property. It is encouraged that you inspect the property you wish to purchase PRIOR TO THE ONLINE AUCTION. No sale is contingent upon a property inspection by the successful bidder after the auction or is the sale contingent upon Buyer obtaining financing. Printed statements or descriptions by staff or the seller are provided in good faith and are matters of opinion. Bidders must conduct and rely solely upon their own investigations and inspection in regard to the condition and feasibility of the bidder’s intended use. The property is being sold 'AS IS' with any and all faults. Please review all information supplied, and seek appropriate assistance prior to bidding.

In regard to Inspection, please do not disturb the occupants of each residence. Please call 662-226-2080 for more information in regard to how you may inspect the property.

BIDDING PROCEDURES:

BROWSER INFORMATION: Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox is the preferred Internet Browser for our bidding platforms. Because Microsoft is phasing out support for Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10, bidders are more likely to have issues with Internet Explorer when using our website.

In order to better serve our customers, all bidders must provide their name, address, daytime phone number or cell number, and email address at which they can be contacted. This is to insure good communication between Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. and the bidder throughout any transactions. Each bidder's identity is verified. Bidding rights are provisional, and if complete verification is not possible, Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. will reject the registration, and bidding activity will be terminated.

Our online auctions move quickly therefore bid quickly especially at the close of bidding time. If you are a first time bidder, I encourage you to not wait till the last minute. Bid early so you are familiar with the system. The bidding software will notify bidders by email or text when they have been outbid. Bidders may also find out if they have been outbid by refreshing the individual lot information or the entire screen. Due to varying internet connections/speed, please place a max bid or constantly monitor the auction at close of bidding. Sometimes email or text notifications can be delayed. If you win you are notified by email.

MAX BIDS:
Internet bidders who desire to make certain their bids are acknowledged should use the internet bidding feature and leave their maximum bid. When you bid your max, the current bid price does not automatically go to your max bid. Someone else has to bid to increase the current price and the computer will automatically bid up to your max in the increments specified.

RESERVE NOT MET: If the reserve has been met, the statement “reserve not met” will disappear. You can only see the “reserve not met” if you are logged in to the platform.

FORCE BIDS/JUMP BID: "Forced Bid/Jump Bid" is a bidding strategy by which a bidder increases the bid by more than the next accepted bid (placing your bid at $150 when the next accepted bid is $125). This practice is used by some bidders to discourage others from bidding in hopes of acquiring an item at a lower price. There are many theories on the effectiveness of this practice and a bidder who wishes to apply it does so at their own discretion. The auction company will not lower the price of an item that has been won by a "forced" bid with no other competing bids.

Extend All:

This feature extends the bidding for the entire catalog in the auction. Every time any bid is placed on one lot, the entire catalog will extend. The auction is extended for the amount of time supplied in the Auto Extend field which is 5 minutes. This behaves differently than normal Auto Extend. If the End Time is 12:00 PM, Auto Extend is set at 5 minutes, and a bid is placed 4 minutes before the end of the auction, this will only extend the auction to 12:01 PM. The actual end time shown for the auction is the end time for all items and other bidders are always given the amount of time supplied as Auto Extend to consider placing a bid. Please note that this feature changes the actual end time of the auction and that no notification of this extension is currently given to bidders. All bidders are encouraged to watch the catalog for bidding purposes because of the system’s extend-all feature.

TECHNICAL SOFTWARE ISSUES: NEITHER THE COMPANY PROVIDING THE SOFTWARE NOR THE AUCTION COMPANY SHALL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR A MISSED BID OR THE FAILURE OF THE SOFTWARE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY FOR ANY REASON. Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. is providing online bidding as a service to Bidder. Bidder acknowledges and understands that this service may or may not function correctly the day of the auction. Under no circumstances shall Bidder have any kind of claim against Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. or anyone else if the internet service fails to work correctly. Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. will not be responsible for any missed bids from any source.

Time Increase or Decrease: In the event there are technical difficulties related to the server, software or any other online auction-related technologies, Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc., reserve the right to extend bidding, continue the bidding, or close the bidding, or increase of decrease the extended time amount at the end of the auction by either changing the time and / or date.
