Underground Sub-stations, Distribution Boards, Pumps, Buses & more Closed (#3776548)

All sales are final.
The items are sold "as-is where-is" to the highest bidder above the reserve figure.
"As-is, where-is" means the item is being sold in its current condition, regardless of any faults or damage. The bidder accepts full responsibility in satisfying themselves with the item prior to bidding. It is recommended that if the bidder is in doubt, not to bid as no returns or refunds will be made.
All lots are subject to a reserve price.
Where bidding finishes below the reserve at the end of the countdown time period, the lot will be passed in for the auctioneer to negotiate with the highest bidder at end of the auction.
Photos, descriptions and condition reports (if any) should be used as a guide only and all buyers should inspect the equipment prior to purchase.

While you are the current highest bidder on an online auction, you will not be permitted to lower your current bid with a new lower bid, nor will you be permitted to lower your bid quantity with a new bid.

The Extension Period may vary from time to time by a number of seconds. We accept no responsibility for any circumstances or incidents arising as a result of any slight variations that may occur in the Extension Period.

c) We provide this notice out of courtesy and as a reminder to you. You may not receive this email, however, you are solely responsible for monitoring the status of any online auction in which you participate and non-receipt of a Winning Bidder (or any other) email from us will not reduce or release you from your obligation to complete the sale and purchase the auction sale item.

d) When you place the winning bid at an online auction, we may charge the cost of your purchase and the cost of the applicable delivery fee, together with any other purchases you have made in accordance with clause 3.2.

5.4 Reference to Retail Prices

a) In certain circumstances, an item for sale on the Site may display the manufacturer’s original retail price (ORP). Please be aware that this is not a reference to the current recommended retail price of the goods but rather a reference to the retail price supplied by the manufacturer, distributor or retailer of the item at the time of the item’s original sale. That price may not be current retail price as at the time of the sale. We take no responsibility for the display of ORPs on any item listed on the Site. You must satisfy yourself as to the value of the item being sold.

b) In certain circumstances, an item for sale on the Site may include reference to the manufacturer’s Recommended Retail Price (RRP). Usually if a RRP is included with a sale item, the RRP has been supplied by the Vendor of the item and we assume the Vendor believes the RRP is current at the time the item is placed on the Site for sale. We accept no responsibility for the accuracy or otherwise of any RRP included on any item listed for sale on a Site. We suggest users independently satisfy themselves as to the value of the item being sold.

5.5 Manufacturer’s liability

a) Subject to any rights you may have under any law, if an item is sold with an accompanying manufacturer’s warranty, we will take no responsibility for the content, fulfilment or enforcement of that manufacturer’s warranty. It is your responsibility to contact the relevant manufacturer in relation to all questions and claims relating to the manufacturer’s warranty.
