All Property offered at the Auction is subject to a Buyer’s Premium in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Hammer Price, which will be paid by the Buyer to Auctioneer for Auctioneer's own account. The Buyer’s Premium is earned by Auctioneer with the fall of the Hammer and is non-refundable. The Buyer's Premium will be added to the Hammer Price to determine the final Contract Price for tax purposes.
