BIDDING: Bidder must register to participate in the auction. Read the descriptions and view photographs carefully. If you have any questions, please call Auctioneer at 423-748-6955. Using YOUR knowledge and experience, form your own opinion of the property and bid accordingly. If you are in doubt, DO NOT BID.

If the Reserve Price is not met, Seller is under no obligation to sell the property; however, Seller may accept a bid that is below the Reserve Price in its sole discretion. Auctioneer reserves the right to reopen bidding. Auctioneer’s decisions will be final.
