19. ADDITIONAL AUCTION-SPECIFIC RULES

19.1 Reserves. We will usually set reserves or minimum bids for Products offered for sale in our online auction sales. If a reserve price is set and if there is an estimate range, it will always be at or below the low estimate range provided for each item. We also are entitled to change the reserves or minimum bids these during the auction period. If an auction subject to a reserve ends and the reserve price is not met, You and we are both released from any obligation to complete the purchase of goods that was the subject of the same auction.

19.2 Duration. All auctions will typically last one (1) day. We may from time to time offer items for longer or shorter sale periods.

19.3 Early Termination. An auction may at our sole discretion be terminated at any time without notice.

19.4 Bidding Increments. Our auction software sets bid increments automatically as an auction progresses. The increments will be based on the minimum starting bid amounts. For examples only and not by way of limitation, if a starting minimum bid amount is $ 50.00, then the bid increments may be also $ 50.00 or if a starting minimum bid amount is $ 100.00, then the bid increments may also be set at $ 100.00. The specific auction will indicate what the incremental bids must be for such auction. All amounts in these Terms are in United States Dollars and Cents.

19.5 Bidding. Bidding is a binding legal contract in most of the United States. The laws of the State of Washington shall apply to all bids placed in our Service. When you bid on any item, a bid may not be withdrawn or retracted. Your bid shall remain a binding and valid offer for the auction term of any item. Bids can be made at any time until the auctions close. If your bid is accepted, you are subject to a legally binding contract with us. By placing a bid, you agree that you will purchase the item for the amount of your bid should you be the high bidder at closing. The only exception for any retracted shall be in the case of an obvious and serious error in the bidding process. If such an error has occurred, you must inform us immediately by email to kramerknives@earthlink.net and include a description of the error. Immediate notification by you is necessary; time is of the essence given the nature of any auction. We at our sole discretion will make a ruling on the error and the decisions that we make will be final and incontestable. Bidding on the wrong item, changing your mind, or bidding a few dollars more than you wished are not grounds for bid withdrawal or retraction. WE FURTHER RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL ANY BID, EVEN AFTER ANY ACCEPTANCE, IF WE HAVE REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THE BIDDER VIOLATED ANY OF THE TERMS HEREIN. WE FURTHERMORE MAY REFUSE TO ACCEPT YOUR BID OR WITHDRAW ANY PRODUCT AT OUR SOLE DISCRETION WITH OR WITHOUT ANY SPECIFIC REASON.

19.6 Auction Closing. Usually our auctions will end at a specific time. However, at our sole discretion and in an effort to level the playing field and give everyone an equal chance regardless of equipment, internet connection speed, technical ability, or dexterity, we may extend auctions beyond the stated end time if there is bidding within the final few minutes of an auction. In our discretion, we may allow to be extended until a few minutes period where no bids have been received has elapsed. At that time, the auction will close. This is analogous to an auctioneer giving fair warning at a live auction before dropping the hammer. If any auction end time is extended, we will indicate the change of end time for any such auction. We are not obligated to extend auctions.

19.7 Following the close of an auction, if you were the high bidder, you will be informed automatically by email of your winning bid. Please see terms below for further details of the payment process and other related information about charges for any shipping, handling and insurance or sales taxes that are added to the winning bid. If for any reason payment is not made, we reserve the right at our sole discretion to (1) offer the item to the second highest bidder, (2) re-post the item for sale in a new auction, or (3) remove the item from the auction.

19.8 Email Notifications. Our auction software is designed to automatically inform you by email in the event that 1) you have submitted a bid, 2) your bid has been surpassed by another bidder, or 3) you have won the item you were bidding on. By registering for our Service, you agree to receive all automated emailing, including without limitation those relating to an auction and emails relating to other matters sent by us. You agree to maintain a valid email address as part of your registration Information at all times. If you change your email address, you must update your registration Information by going to My Account > Account Details > Change Account Info > Email Preferences. We are not responsible for you not receiving email notifications for any reason. Please ensure that the SPAM filter on your email program is set to accept emails from us.

19.9 Payment Methods. When you sign up for the Service, you will provide a payment method that is acceptable to us in order to register. We require a valid Visa or MasterCard and your authorization for an "auto credit card verification" which charges the card you give us a small amount between $ 1.00 and $ 2.00. However such amount is not captured and no funds are actually collected. This is for verification purposes only. You confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method. You authorize us to charge you for the Service using your payment method. If a credit card is used, valid credit card information is required for paying for all bids in our online processing. We also accept e-check via PayPal, cashier's checks and wire transfers.

Your notice to us will not affect charges we submit to your billing account before we reasonably could act on your request. For deliveries outside of the United States, full payment must be received and processed before any shipment.

19.10 Shipping, Handling and Insurance Charges and Sales Taxes.
