sole discretion, re-open the bidding on a
particular item. Title shall pass on all
items sold when the Auctioneer says "SOLD".
The Purchaser assumes total and full
responsibility for all goods at that time,
and is responsible for payment for all items
whether or not the Purchaser actually takes
possession at that time. If any dispute
arises after the conclusion of the Auction,
the records of the Auctioneer and Clerk
shall stand as conclusive. Any loss or
damage by breakage, natural disaster, theft
or any other cause is therefore the sole and
entire responsibility of the Purchaser.
