- ORDER OF AUCTION. Tracts will be offered as individual tracts, combinations of tracts, and as a whole. They will be bid by the acre.
- Individual Tracts- Shall be offered as “Individual” Tracts bid by the dollar amount per acre, using the “High Bidder Choice” method. The successful high bidder at the end of the first competitive bidding wins the right to choose one tract or multiple tracts of his or her choice, the tract or tracts selected by the high bidder will be held as stand alone/individual tracts.. The high bidder could select one individual tract or all tracts, the high bid for any or all individual tracts are held individually but the auctioneer reserves the right to offer the property back as a whole in the “Whole Tract” round of auction offering with a 5% raise. *NOTE: The Auctioneer may at his discretion, when selling tracts, offer to other bidders the privilege of selecting any of the remaining tracts at the last high bid on a first come first serve basis, if he so desires. After the high bidder’s selection, the tract is deleted from the group, and the second round of bidding begins, with the high bidder in round two selecting a tract or tracts, which are then deleted from the group and so on until all tracts are selected. If you select more than one individual tract, in the individual round they stand as individual tracts and not as a combination.
- Combination Tracts - When all individual tracts are selected as individual tracts the Auctioneer shall ask if there is interest in combining two or more tracts. In the combination/split round, the opening bid of any combination, complete combination of one or more tracts, opening bids will be a 5% increase of separate bids. In the case of a split of a combination the total 5% increase will be added to the tract being split back out. All increases will be rounded up to next $100 bid increment.
- Whole Tract – Upon completion of all Individual or Combination Tract offerings, the Auctioneer shall offer the whole tract back together for any and all registered bidders that intend to buy the total tracts together as a whole tract. There shall be an opening whole tract bid increase of 5% above the total amount of all individual and combination tracts held to open bidding as a whole tract until all bids as a whole are exhausted to reach the highest bid amount.
