Set Maximum Bid feature: This feature does your bidding without the bidder having to constantly view, log in, and bid on an item. Setting a maximum online is much like coming to a live auction with a preset spending limit in mind. The program will bid for you, in the prescribed increments, and only up to your set maximum bid for the item. Your Maximum bids are kept confidential and not available for other bidders to see. Any bidder can raise or lower a maximum bid at any time prior to the close of the auction.
Sales Tax: All sales are subject to 6% Kentucky Sales Tax. If you are buying for resale, please let us know ahead of time and send us a copy of your resale tax exemption certificate.

Extended Ending: The items in the auction will be subject to an extended ending, whereas at the close of the auction, any bidding activity on an item within 3 minutes of the closing time will automatically extend the bidding for 3 more minutes past the time of the last bid. The bidding on that lot will continue to remain open in 3 minute intervals as long as there is bidding activity within 3 minutes of the previous bid. Once there is no bidding activity for a 3 minute period, the bidding on that item will close.
Penalties: Any bidding found to be fraudulent and/or negligence to provide proper payment in the allotted time will result in all appropriate legal action. Any invoice not fully and properly paid for in the allotted time will be charged to the credit card account presented at registration and the items forfeited. Delinquencies will be noted and will prevent the individual from participating in any further live or online auctions conducted by Wardlow Auctions, Inc. Wardlow Auctions, Inc. retains the right to prevent anyone from participating in this and future online auctions who does not abide by the terms and conditions of the auction or whose actions are not in the best interest of our client, the Seller.
Transfer of Ownership and Abandonment of Property : Title and ownership of property purchased shall convey to buyer only upon payment AND pick-up or shipping of the property by the winning bidder. Unless special arrangements are made with the auctioneer, for any items not paid for and/or picked up by the winning bidder within 7 days of the date payment was due, the property shall be considered abandoned and any interest the winning bidder may have in the property shall revert back to the seller or auctioneer and there shall be no refunds to the winning bidder.
Attention Credit Card Buyers: Due to a nationwide insurgence of attempts to purchase items with the use of a stolen or fraudulently obtained credit card, for any such suspected transactions, Wardlow Auctions Inc. reserves the right to: 1) request buyers to provide a copy of their driver’s license and credit card with which they are paying, and 2) withhold shipping of purchased items for a period of up to 10 calendar days to insure that payment and validity of the transaction is good.
Auctioneer's Representation and Right to Bid: In accordance with KRS330.220(6)(a), it is hereby disclosed that, with permission from the seller, the auctioneer and any auction staff members have the right to bid. Wardlow Auctions Inc. and the auctioneer are agents of the seller.
SPECIAL TERMS AND INSPECTION PERIODS FOR SALE OF FIREARMS:

Sale and Transfer of ATF governed firearms (the rifles and handguns):
All sales must comply with ATF requirements, and background checks.
Persons must be at least 21 years of age to buy a handgun and 18 years of age to buy a rifle or shotgun.
If a buyer cannot pass the background check, there will be a restocking fee of 25% of the final bid price charged to the winning bidder. If you don’t think you can pass a background check, please don’t bid. If uncertain, find out before you bid.
All ATF governed rifles, shotguns, and handguns must be picked up and transferred at Ops Supply.
A $25 transfer fee applies to each firearm even if buyer has a FFL. This fee shall be paid to Ops Supply.
Out-of-state buyers will need to have their guns shipped to a FFL gun dealer in their state. Please coordinate with Ops Supply and your local gun dealer. Any resulting shipping and transfer fees shall be paid by the buyer. Note: Ops Supply will not ship firearms to California, Illinois, New Jersey, or New York.
Only the registered winning bidder may purchase and transfer the firearm at the licensed dealer.
Wardlow Auctions Inc. will collect all payments for invoices. Payment can be made from the invoice, or call in to authorize credit card payment, or come by our office to pay by cash or check.

Once a gun has been paid for, it will be available for pick-up at Ops Supply during store hours, unless of course it is required to be shipped.
Are Antique Guns Subject to FFL Transfer Requirements? According to the National Firearms Act of 1986, “any firearm manufactured prior to 1898 and not designed to use rimfire or centerfire ammunition is exempt from the act. This includes firearms that use flintlocks, matchlocks or percussion caps for the ignition system”. (Thus, a firearm made prior to 1898 that uses rimfire or centerfire ammunition is subject to FFL transfer requirements).
Why is a Background Check Required? Our clients, and we, want to be assured that the sale and transfer of the guns are in compliance with the law. In the event that these guns are subsequently stolen from or sold by the buyer and used for illegal purposes, our clients want to be free of any liability regarding the sale and use of the guns.
If you have any questions regarding the background check, pick-up, or shipping of firearms, please contact Joe at Ops Supply at (502) 835-1801.
