Once the word Sold is stated, the Buyer who offered the highest bid amount and Auctioneer have entered into a verbal agreement, and that Buyer is required to pay the winning bid amount. No other bids can or will be accepted after the word Sold.

Consignor Guidelines

1. Consignors will be assigned a consignor’s number at registration to identify the Consignor’s Lot Number and will also serve as the Consignor’s buyer number if the Consignor wishes to purchase items at the sale. This number can be found in the upper left corner of the Consignment Contract and Settlement Form next to the term “Lot #.”
2. A Consignor needs no other number besides the number mentioned above. If the Consignor is “protecting,” or sending anyone in his or her place to “protect,” the items that the Consignor has listed for sale, the Consignor or the Consignor’s representative must use the number assigned to the Consignor at registration.
3. To protect an item, the original Consignor of the item, or the person designated by the Consignor to represent them, must be the highest bidder on the item they wish to “protect.”
4. “Protected” items then become a “buyback” item. The Hardin County Agricultural Society reserves the right to charge the Consignor half the commission rate that corresponds with the “sale price” of the “buyback” item. The maximum “buyback” commission is $50.
5. All sales that take place at this Event are final. Returns, refunds, or exchanges will not be issued without express written consent of the Hardin County Agricultural Society.
6. Any resale taking place on the Hardin County Fairgrounds is prohibited. Any person engaged in reselling an item on the grounds will not be allowed to exit the grounds by the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office.
7. All titled vehicles entered into the consignment sale must have a clear title turned into the sale office located in the Community Building by no later than 5:00 PM on Friday, March 8. No vehicles will be sold without a clear and original title. Failure to turn these titles into the sale office by 5:00 PM on Friday will result in the consignment not being sold.
8. Absolutely no unmounted tires will be accepted for sale.
9. Any item that does not sell must be removed from the fairgrounds by the Consignor no later than the Wednesday following the sale.
10. Consignors who are also Buyers will not be allowed to deduct their bill for the items they purchased from the amount they are owed for the items they sell.
11. Consignors understand that checks for items sold will not be issued to Consignors on the day of the sale. Before checks are issued, it is required that the Hardin County Agricultural Society’s books be reconciled. If a Consignor has not received his or her check within 14 business days from the day of sale, he or she may contact Judi Cronley, (419) 675-2396. 
12. Any questions regarding the Consignment Sale should be directed to Jack McBride, (419) 675-2396 or Genny Haun, (419) 673-4165. Consignors should do their best to have all questions answered by sale day.
