Live Auction sales are not classified as consumer sales (sale of goods act 1893 section 55 (7) therefore misrepresentation acts of law do not apply).

The auctioneer will regulate the bidding and decide in what increments the bid will be raised. The purchaser will be determined only when the hammer has gone down or the auctioneer says sold. Once the hammer has gone down the purchaser is in a legal binding contract to purchase the said lot for the amount bid plus the Auctioneers charges.
