FAQ

True Blue Auctions is the auction business identified in the existing website as founded by Skip Dreibelbis of State College, Pennsylvania. The site provides auction-service information and links to auction opportunities. The company’s own description emphasizes honesty, integrity and fair dealing.

The existing service pages describe real estate, estate contents, antiques and collectibles, coins, vehicles, business assets, farms, machinery and equipment. The company also describes estate/probate-related and charity-auction work. Ask about the particular property, location and service needed rather than assuming every listed service or format is available for every matter.

Use the official current-auction destination linked from True Blue Auctions’ website and open the specific event or lot. Review its date, format, registration requirements, fees, inspection information, payment obligations and pickup or closing provisions. A past-auction entry is historical, not a current offer.

Follow the instructions for the auction’s actual registration system. The inspected real-property terms require registration and bidder credentials before bidding, age 18 or older, identification and, when required, evidence of funds or authority. A website inquiry or general account is not necessarily approval to bid in a particular auction.

Disclose the capacity in which you are bidding and comply with the event’s authorization requirements. The inspected agreement requires bidders to state whether they act for themselves or another, and buyer agents/brokers to preregister with their client. Do not assume an assignment or use of an entity releases a bidder from an obligation.

The event terms determine whether bidding is live, online, telephone, absentee or another authorized method. In the inspected online real-property agreement, email or text bids are permitted only at the company’s discretion after execution of terms and count as entered only when the company confirms acceptance and recording. Simply sending a message is not proof of a recorded bid.

The auction’s terms determine the relevant acceptance or confirmation process. An absolute sale, a reserve auction and a sale subject to seller confirmation are not the same. The inspected real-property terms say obligations arise upon the specified acceptance/confirmation, with later memoranda confirming rather than necessarily creating the obligation. Read the actual agreement before bidding.

Do not assume that you can retract a bid because you changed your mind. The inspected real-property contract contains no-retraction provisions, but the rule must match the sale and applicable law. Pennsylvania’s goods-auction statute addresses withdrawal before completion, so a property-specific real-estate clause should not be presented as a universal rule for all auctions.

For a proposed or disputed bid, promptly contact auction staff and review the event terms. This answer does not determine the legal effect of a specific bid.

A buyer’s premium is the additional amount payable under the auction terms, commonly expressed as a percentage of the hammer price. Read the event’s stated premium and total-price calculation before bidding. There is no single premium established for all auctions by this FAQ.

The event terms specify any required deposit, proof of funds, payment method and deadline. The inspected Grassflat agreement requires a minimum $5,000 deposit, but that figure belongs to that contract and is not a universal deposit for other real estate or personal property.

Follow the official invoice and auction terms for accepted payment methods and timing, premiums, taxes, pickup/shipping or settlement costs. Verify any questionable invoice or changed payment instructions independently with True Blue Auctions. The real-property agreement inspected allocates particular transfer taxes and closing costs to its purchaser; a different event must be checked separately.

The inspected auction terms use “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” language and emphasize the bidder’s own inspection and investigation. Those provisions allocate significant condition risk. They must still be read with express promises, disclosures, the actual sale documents and applicable law; the phrase does not automatically eliminate mandatory disclosures or every legal remedy.

Use the inspection opportunities and document-access instructions stated for the particular auction. The inspected bidder terms emphasize that bidders have the opportunity to inspect and rely on their own investigation. Ask about access or an unclear description before placing a bid; do not assume an unlimited post-bid inspection contingency exists.

The existing website terms do not guarantee continuous or error-free operation. Auction terms can allocate communication and equipment risks and permit specified correction or extension procedures. Contact the auction staff promptly, but do not assume every technical problem requires a bid to be accepted, an auction to reopen or a purchase to be cancelled.

The applicable packet and sale agreement specify signing, deposit, title review, closing date, taxes/costs, possession, financing conditions and any maintenance obligations before settlement. The inspected agreement requires prompt execution of sale documents and does not make the purchase contingent on financing. Obtain the actual terms for the property rather than relying on another auction’s deadline.

Check the lot and event instructions before bidding. Those materials should state whether shipping is offered, the pickup arrangements and relevant costs or restrictions. The old installation’s unadopted retail return template is not a promise that auction purchases have a 30-day return period. A complete current personal-property agreement must be reviewed before making more specific general claims.

The existing site describes estate auctions and services for executors, attorneys, probate-related matters and families. Discuss the property, representative’s authority, location and desired scope of work. Auction assistance is distinct from legal advice about probate, fiduciary duties, title or tax; those questions may require the appropriate professional.

The relevant auction terms and notices govern changes, confirmation, withdrawal of property and available remedies. The inspected real-property agreement permits stated actions such as extension, reopening or a “No Sale,” and addresses deposit funds, resale and damages after a purchaser’s default. Do not assume the same remedy or cancellation power applies to every auction type.

Contact info@TrueBlueAuctions.com or call 844-BID-CALL (844-243-2255). Include the auction or property, its location and your question or timing. A consultation inquiry is not a bid, a seller contract or a cancellation notice; use the particular agreement’s process for those actions.
