be). 

All property is sold "as is" and neither the auctioneer nor the consignor makes any

warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the property,

acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute

between bidders, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to

determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute.  If

the auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the value

of the article offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the article from sale;

and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance thereafter

is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the advance.
