Once a maximum bid is submitted it becomes irrevocable by the bidder. The fact that any one Auction lot or Transaction item on which a User has placed a bid or made an offer is not available shall not relieve a buyer from his obligation to purchase any other items for which User has placed the winning bid or made a binding offer.
- Execution of Purchases. In the event you are the high bidder at the close of any Auction or your offer in any Transaction is accepted, you agree to purchase that item as follows.
- For Auction purchases: BAM BOOM POW’s winning bidder notification to you for an auction item won by you in an Auction section of BAM BOOM POW will confirm the price of the item, and direct you to the page on theBAM BOOM POW web site where you must specify your shipping and payment preferences, and generate an invoice total for your order, which will be sent to you via e-mail. BAM BOOM POW must receive payment in full of the total amount within seven (7) days of the date on which the auction closed.

A defaulting buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 10% seller’s commission). The defaulting buyer is liable to pay any difference between his total purchase price(s) for the lot(s) plus any applicable interest and late fees, and the proceeds for the lot(s) if resold less the 10% seller’s commissions. If you fail to pay any amounts due in full when due, BAM BOOM POW reserves the right, and you hereby authorize BAM BOOM POW, to sell any of your property in BAM BOOM POW’s possession and to apply the proceeds of any such sale to your outstanding balance, less a 10% seller’s commission.
