The Auction will be conducted by offering the items by lot, either individually or in groups.  The bidder offering the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer shall be the purchaser of the offered lot, and no purchaser shall retract his bid.  Purchaser accepts lot when he makes a bid.  All sales are final.
