Bidding- How to Buy from our Online Auctions?
After you create an account with Lux Auctions LLC via our website or app, you will be asked to register for the auction you are choosing to participate in. To register, follow the prompts to enter your credit card information upon registry, and agree to the Terms and Conditions of the auction.
After you have registered, you may place bids any time while the auction is running (live), until the auction close. We recommend that you either utilize the “Max Bid” feature (see below) or pay close attention to the item(s) you are interested in during auction closing day. Each auction has a scheduled closing time. This is the time the first lot in the auction is scheduled to begin closing. Keep in mind, if an item gets bid on during the last 3 minute count-down of the item closing, the bidding will be extended by an additional 3 minutes until no further bids are placed. We do this to prohibit electronic bid “sniping”, or last second bids to accommodate for possible website lag or loss of customer cell service or wifi, and to simulate the actual process of a live in person auction. There is no strategic advantage to waiting until the last second to bid.
-System results are final.
- The highest bidder shall be the buyer. At the time an auction closes, the sale of the asset becomes a legally binding agreement between the buyer and Lux Auctions LLC. The buyer is required to purchase the asset(s) and buyer assumes full risk and responsibility of the assets/ item(s) sold, agrees to sign any confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, and sales tax (where applicable) therefore or such part, upon such terms as Lux Auctions may require.
-All bids placed are final. We do not retract bids. If you do not want to purchase an item, do not bid on it. Once bids are placed they will not be retracted. If you default on payment or have your high bid removed for any reason, you will be liable for any difference in sale price between your high bid and the final sale price of the lot.
- Bid Increments are subject to change at any time at Lux Auctions discretion.
- Lux Auctions LLC reserves the right to withdraw, re-catalog, or update items in this auction at any time for any reason.
Max Bid Feature
If you are unavailable to participate in the close of the auction, or if you would like to set a bidding limit for any item, you can click the drop down “carrot” on the side of the “Bid $xxx” button. When you enter your Max Bid, the bidding platform will bid on your behalf only if another user bids against you. Your Max Bid will not exceed the amount you have chosen. If you are outbid, you will be notified either by email or push notification. Your Max Bids are confidential, and other bidders cannot see if you or anyone has placed a Max Bid on any items. You may increase your Max Bid with the same method and by following the prompts.
Reserves
Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve, which is the amount that bidding must reach before the item will be sold. Reserves are executed by Lux Auctions on behalf of the consignor. Lux Auctions reserves the right to lower a reserve at any time before or after an auction closes. The asset (lot) will sell to the high bidder if the reserve amount is met. If the reserve is lowered after the auction closes, the highest bidder at auction close will win the asset(s) and receive an invoice.
Auction Disclaimers
All assets are sold “AS IS WHERE IS” without implication of warranty or guarantees express or implied. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
- While auction items are presented with the greatest accuracy possible, and our team strives to include all relevant information affecting the value of the asset, bidders should not rely solely on the item descriptions and pictures as their only means of determining an asset’s value.
Representation on Lux Auctions through any means (including, as the case may be, lot/item description(s), value estimates, images) is for reference only and implies no warranty as to the characteristics of the purchased product. Lux Auctions LLC is not held responsible for errors in descriptions or inaccuracy of photos that may result in differences of opinion of condition or value of any item in the auction. If you have any specific questions about any item please call our office at 952-454-0233 or email us at: info@luxauctions.net prior to bidding. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to inspect the item(s) and/or inquire about any item(s) they are interested in bidding on. Bidders may inspect items prior to and during the auction on designated inspection day(s) or by appointment, when available.
- Any estimates of price or value provided are a courtesy only, and not a guarantee of the sales price.
Transfer of Ownership and Risk of Loss
At the time the winning bidder pays their invoice in full, ownership of the asset and risk of loss passes immediately to the buyer. If a winning bidder pays their invoice in full, but does not take possession of the assets according to removal terms listed, ownership and risk of loss still will transfer to the bidder.

After you have bid on and won an item, you are obligated to carry out the purchase of that item. When you commence bidding, you are willfully entering into a buyer’s contract with Lux Auctions LLC.
