Heritages Rule #21:
''21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors.''
I have already heard employees try to explain this away (yawn) but my attitude is if you don't plan to utilize this policy as written, don't write it. It looks bad! I wonder if I'm going to be banned next simply posting Rule #21 which is posted word for word on HA.com.
